Episode 01: My 2024 LRF Species Hunt - Weymouth 

Cheers Steve 🤓

Cheers dude. Gotta love a Lifer!

Thank you Keith. Don't forget to Subscribe haha. Nice meeting you again. That's the last three times I've been I've seen you and only fished there 5 times. 5 species from one spot is good going. You need to modify that scooter so you can fish as you drive along. You'll be hauling them in.

Thanks. In winter I fish small and slow. If you're nit catching, go smaller and smaller until tou catch

Thank you 😊. The content I make is about the fishing rather than me if that makes sense. I wanted to slow the video of the clingfish down too so my reaction would have been in slow motion

You're more than welcome. I'm always happy to help someone that shows a genuine interest. Onthedrop.co.uk is a good place to look. If you message him he will happily help you with buying the right things if you get stuck. The beauty of LRF is you can start very basically. Just some hooks, isome and splitshots. Check out the channel LRF Tutorials. I shot and edited it while my mate Lee was the face. The Goby one is well worth watching all the way through. And this one should help you get started. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-wYeYLeZw-Sw.htmlsi=M3DPW2W_XAQtRmXU

Thank you. I only use Hosomi. 99% of the time in clear camo but in murky water camo or bloody red. I just love the size of Hosomi. You'll catch big fish on a little worm. But won't catch little fish on a big worm. If that makes sense?

Thanks Mark. I use Gulp Hosomi. I personally think it's perfect size. Clear Camo is my go to colour.

@@LRFandHRF thanks Dan, will get some ordered

Thanks. Don't forget to Subscribe. Plenty more to come.

I've not heard of a laminated card but there is a very good book at the link below. Worth every penny. I'll be honest though. I am only just over two years in and had all of mine identified by people in The Big Lerf Group on Facebook. Great bunch and always happy to help. We'll worth joining the group. Its a group where no question is too small. And you won't get stupid answers if you ask. Book. amzn.to/3NSMA7V Big Lerf Group. facebook.com/groups/544515226553099/?ref=share

T'is indeed an excellent book for species ID. I also found a tiny Collins one that Lee recommended.

It is a great book. Also Paul. Have a look at our LRF Tutorials Channel. Could be useful. Lots more to come. youtube.com/@lrftutorials?si=TTyXfgruSgmBINRU

Thanks. They like to follow the isome mid water. You can get them swinging a dropshot back, I just find it a lot more effective using a splitshot. Only takes a couple of seconds to swap so quickly switched them over.

Thank you. Do you use loop to loop connections for your braid to rigs?

I tie the leader straight to the braid with an Albreit knot. I don't pre tie them. I just do them as I fish

Me too Dave. Struggled by the end of this session but had to get out. Look forward to seeing your Common catch tomorrow.

@@LRFandHRF hopefully I’ll get decent sleep tonight and be able to get up

Always a good session at Weymouth. I just use a normal looped dropshot?

@LRFandHRF not heard of looped dropshot I shall Google

Plenty of videos on RU-vid too

Haha. Thanks. I just tie the leader to the braid with an Albreit knot then tie the hook on. So Much quicker than fiddling with pre-tied ones I think. But each yo their own. I never use a swivel. Just a hook and weights. It's one less thing to leave on the seabed if you snap off

@@LRFandHRF thankyou. So each time you change rigs you tie on a new leader 👍 Keep up the good work

Only if I snap off. But say from s dropshot to split shot and back I just cut it at the hook and re-tie. Then the same in reverse. If that makes sense?

@@LRFandHRF crystal clear mate. Thankyou

No worries.

Thanks Alan. A long way to go buy happy with the start

Thank you Mike 😊

Thanks Edgar

Decoy SG3-SS

Thanks I saw that on the video . Did not realise that was a actual hook size . I am new to UK .@@LRFandHRF

No worries. They're hard to get hold of but worth finding them

Happy Birthday! Weymouth is always worth a visit. Brixham is great if you're happy climbing on dodgy slippery rocks but Weymouth is a hell of a lot easier. Not sure I'll hit 60 again this year but will be interesting to see if I can get 50.

Thank you Keith. I'm not one for staying put haha. Glad you enjoyed it though. I try and make the videos a watchable mix of fishing and the surroundings. Have a look at this one if you fancy another. Had Black and Gilthead Bream in one session at Weymouth. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-zIFoM_kgVsc.html

Thank you Paul. They are quite a rare one do lucky to have found one. Glad you're still enjoying the videos. Plenty more to come this year

Cheers Karl. Couldn't ask for a better start. There is another clingfish to get too. A Shore Clingfish. The possibilities are endless

Thanks Scott. 😊

Thank you. Was a memorable one. Plenty more to come. Can't wait!

Thanks Steve. Was definitely a session to remember!
