Funny fishless video... that cracked me for starters... your humour is impeccable... some gorgeous views and lovely soothing guitar... always pop over @you with great pleasure 🤗🌹
WOW It's not just your inland that is beautiful, so are your coastal areas. That looked beautiful. I wish I was there. I was hoping to see you so a bomb off the jetty though, may have blown the kids out of the water. Haha 😂 I too love mackerel.
Great minds think alike. The only reason i didn't jump into the sea was because i had no spare pants with me and its my new car and I'd have soaked the seat. I was even thinking of jumping in and putting on my waders. In the end i was sensible 😮 I'm getting old i suppose. 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 Great to hear from you Robbie mind yourself out there with your poisonous spiders and deadly snakes.
Bonjour et merci pour cette vidéo .Voilà une pêche très difficile ...Mais quel humour ,...j'adore ..Au plaisir de vous visionner à nouveau d'ici là portez vous bien . Cordialement , Alain de France.
Hard lines Vincent. It's bad crack when catching a Mackerel is a challenge. I've caught them on the fly in Scotland and they're great fighters. I remember in the Isle of Sky about 15 years ago me and my lass were catching Mackerel and some huge Pollack. Then some Basking sharks came. I touched their dorsal fin with the tip of my rod they were that close. Later a load of Minke Whales came in. There were seals and all the birds you could imagine. The water was boiling with life. It was probably the most fun day out fishing I've ever had. Mind you those places you were fishing looked beautiful and it makes a change standing freezing in that spot near the bridge! At least you can be warm when you're not catching and enjoy the weather! We'll all just have to keep trying!
Wow that's sounds amazing that day. You will always have that memory. Touching the shark with the tip of your rod that's unbelievable. The good old days. Cheers salmon ninja. Thanks for watching and for your great comment cheers
Glad you love it thanks so much. Sad to see the dwindling stocks of all types of fish. One day there will be one last fish. But i won't be around then thank god. 😢
Hi Vince I have been playing guitar while suffering for carpal tunnel since 2015 and I’m still facing the trouble 🥲 I know very well that arm pain …and the hand falling asleep😱. Take good medical care with great patience … Thank you for sharing and take care 💪👋👋👋🍻
Thanks for your kind words. I think it was just rowing the boat so long. I havent had a problem since. Touch wood. Cheers. Thanks for watching and for your advice your a kind man. 😊
A cracking video Vincent, can't catch therm all. Mackeral just arrived here & I'll get out early doors to miss the crowds to get a few dozen in the freezer for the winter. Love the oily chin btw. Caveman eating is grand.
My wife kills me. She says I'm up the mountains too long. 😂😂😂😂😂😂 I've to be on my best behaviour when out dining with my wife. (Now what knife do i use? which spoon do i use? ) 😂😂😂😂😂 Thanks for the funny comment.
It is a hard life alright, Vincent, being an angler these days with no rain and all the hot weather, so I like the herring in tomato sauce as the last resort, for a spoon the comb has proven very useful. Keep up the good work Vincent and greetings from Donegal.
Another fun vid…even the dogs on the street are fed up with no sign of fish on the horizon 😂 tis enough to turn them to the drink as well. Great story about your onetime greedy fishy 🎣 friend…he got his just reward and you gave back a share to him in the form of a good lesson. Nice to see Cobh looking resplendent. I always found Ballycotton Pier a guarantee bucket or two full of mackerel. 🐟Why I believe that Marlon Brando in his unfinished last movie swore that when it 🌧️rains in Ballycotton it rains 🌊 down fish. 🐠 Oh and by the way please, please do us all a favour and don’t take up 🏌🏼golf! 🙏🏻
Well you certainly made my day with that great comment. Myself and my wife both laughed. I remember working down in cobh signaling the trains. Watching the sea. When the mackerel would start breaking in front of the signal cabin I'd run out with my rod catch 6 fish in one cast and I'd be frying my mackerel and eating them while the trains were pasting. The good old days. Plenty of fish and few trains. Now there's lots and lots of trains and few fish.😂😂😂😂 Thanks for watching and commenting cheers. Always great to hear from you hope your happy with life.
@@vincentdonnellymadirishman5158 Oh man, that’s a real good funny yarn, one to keep for your retirement night. My how the world of work and leisure has changed so rapidly, things used to be so much simpler and fun in the not so long ago olden days. Who of the new generation would believe such a not so politically correct practice ever happened. You appear to have only been following the advice of JC himself as quoted in the Good Book…..about teaching a man to fish….at least you weren’t a burden on the Station Master as you were looking after your own lunch and he didn’t have to worry about organising someone to relieve you for your meal break. 😂
@@vincentdonnellymadirishman5158 That’s what my wife says all the time, she fell in love with my Blarney patter via emails after our brief initial encounter in España, we were married within months and had a registry office wedding in Cork followed by a church wedding and baptismal double ceremony in Spain within the space of a respectable eleven months …jus to put a more civilised gloss on it….got the whole three months RC pre marriage course covered and all into the bargain…but we’re still faving fun sixteen years down the tracks…of course she’s still awaiting the royalties of that long over due book and I thought she married me for love…So my next book will be on “How to save your marriage by kissing the Blarney Stone” and churning out the wit to ensure a peaceful happy life. I wonder if the Coldhurst Estate,…owners of the Castle, be amenable to cutting me in on a fraction as a retainer!
I mostly come here for the wit and wisdom of The Mad Fisherman even if you don't catch any fish :) Maybe no fish this time, but what fun hoping from spot to spot with the anticipation that the next spot will be it. I think that is what keeps me going back out when I have a long streak of no catching.
You were in short pants when i met you and your still in short pants.😂😂😂😂😂😂 A great trip down memory lane. When there were plenty of salmon in the rivers. The good old days. Hope you enjoyed the video. It was a bit of fun.
I'll never forget the look on his face when the line snapped. I'll tell you another story. I was fishing one night down off the pier in monkstown with my friend cod fishing in the depths of winter. There was a man fishing next to us with all the wrong gear my buddy was laughing at him. Did you catch anything my pal asked? No says the man. Its my first time fishing. My buddy had a big container of crabs, peelers and softies and poppers. He found one that was dead for a very long time and it was stinking and i mean stinking. Smell that he says to me. Go Away i said. It was horrendous. Watch this my pal says. He said to the man heres some bait. The man said i was just going home. With his gear ready to go. Have a last cast my pal says to the man. I don't know how to put it on the man said. I'll put it on for you my pal put it on with elastic thread laughing the whole time at the man behind his back and making faces. The man thanked him for the bait and cast it into the water. My pal was hysterical laughing at the man. Look at that fool he will never catch a fish on that bait. My pal couldn't stop laughing at the man. Then the man shouted i have a big fish. His rod was doubled over almost snapping as the man kept turning the handle of the reel. My pal had tears in his eyes with laughter. He has a big load of weed my pal said. The man landed a cod must have been about 8 or 9 pounds. I started laughing at my pals face 😮 he was silent and in shock. The man walked off to his car carrying this monster of a cod wriggling in his grasp saying thanks so much for the bait. That's the first fish i ever caught. The man went off so happy i couldn't stop laughing at my pal. We caught nothing that night as far as I remember.😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 i said to my pat that serves you right.😂😂😂😂
An Irish priest loved to fly fish, it was an obsession of his. So far this year the weather had been so bad that he hadn't had a chance to get his beloved wadders on and his favourite flies out of their box Strangly though, every Sunday the weather had been good, but of course Sunday is the day he has to go to work. The weather forcast was good again for the coming Sunday so he called a fellow priest claiming to have lost his voice and be in bed with the flu. He asked him to take over his sermon. The fly fishing priest drove fifty miles to a river near the coast so that no one would recognise him. An angel up in Heaven was keeping watch and saw what the priest was doing. He told God who agreed that he would do something about it. With the first cast of his line a huge fish mouth gulped down the fly. For over an hour the priest ran up and down the river bank fighting the fish. At the end when he finally landed the monster size fish it turned out to be a world record Salmon. Confused the angel asked God, "Why did you let him catch that huge fish? I thought you were going to teach him a lesson." God replied "I did. Who do you think he's going to tell?"
It's like getting the six numbers in the lotto catching a mackerel on that day. I remember years ago running around like that with two pals trying to catch mackerel. We caught nothing all day and went on the ferry. The ferry man had two big bags of mackerel. I asked him where he got them. He said as the ferry pulled up onto the pier there was a shoal passing by and got caught on the ferry he said they were hopping every where and he grabbed as many as he could. That was salt into the wounds. 😂
Stick to the fishing Vince, I blame the super trawlers on all the declining fish numbers in recent years. last month we had one off of our shores, I wont eat fish from a can as it funds those big trawlers. they can stay out for a few months catching and then canning everything onboard. I had a feeling you had carpal tunnel that time watching you, but then thought you were just having me on. Its not nice I get it myself now and then like pins and needles, I first got it 4 years ago I went numb on the right arm I thought it was a stroke initially :) :)
Your on the ball. The big ships have everything caught. The other nets the poachers have every thing caught and the angler has to have a brown tag. 😢 It would make you just cry. The river Lee near where i live you need a brown tag. I don't have one. So it's a single barbless hook. Catch and release. Its all a bloody joke. My arm is perfect since that was a one off fingers crossed.😂😂😂😂😂 cheers.
Hi my friend. I went once with two lads from school who both played pitch and putt. They were on some team. We started off on the first hole and i took the putter i think it's called, to t off. No No my friend said you only use that one on the green. He gave me the other one he had to use. I said i like the putter and decided to use that one for the entire game. Who's winning now I'd ask they both would laugh and i was told i was in last place. I'd lash the ball at the t off with my putter and the lads would roar with laughter. I seemed to be getting the ball into the hole in less shots than the lads were getting theirs in. Who's winning now? I'd ask time and time again. I was last i was told. The last hole after we all potted our balls the lads were roaring with laughter rolling on the grass laughing. Half way walking home they told me i slaughtered them both. 😂😂😂😂😂 i won. Only game i ever had. Ever.😂😂😂
Big factory ships are hoovering the mackerel up and all the other fish as well from salmon, sea bass and sea trout , disgusting mate that this is allowed , up here in the north the big ship are coming that close to shove and the just sweep up everything and now anglers like me aren’t allowed to keep a salmon or sea trout even if caught in the sea , even if it dies when your unhooking it you still have to put it back , ruined fishing because of greed and no accountability.. hope you have better luck next time buddy 🎣 tight lines
I believe everything you say. It is all greed. The angler who pays for his boat or beat on the river maybe hotel or b&b maybe a tent is getting hammered. Being brought to court because he has a barb on his hook. It's all just gone mad. I'm sick of it. There was a time the farmers in Ireland would net the salmon and feed them to their pigs. A long time ago. Them days will never be back. 😢😢
You early at that first spot Vince, you get them there from August, beach be full of them, annoying little bastards when fishing for bass. Ps. Was in cork last week and had 16 seatrout fishing at night for them in cork. You should head out for them.
Lead by example i always say. Always pay your way have a clear conscience. 😊 sleep soundly at night with both eyes shut tight. 😂😂😂😂😂😂 that's my moto. Thanks for watching and for your funny comment as always
I really hope you don't lose your ability to play guitar. I was going to tell you to use the lid as a spoon but you figured that out. Are you allowed to use sabiki rigs over there? I usually catch lots of mackerel on sabiki rigs. 👍
Haven't been called a young man in a very long time. In my mind i feel a young man but in reality I'm an old man who's fallen off the horse many many times with the scars to prove it. Don't know will i last another day. 😂😂😂😂 Thanks for the funny comment. Mr Bish.
The information i have is about 5 years ago Ireland did some deal with Russia and Ireland got a bigger quota of monkfish to catch and the Russians got the mackerel. First year one big ship in irish waters second year two big ships then last year there was 4 big ships. The only mackerel that the angler catches are the ones that squeeze through the net in other words small little ones. It's a disaster. 😢
@@fitzsilver I suppose you don't miss what you never had. I remember meeting a very old man one day sea fishing. He told me that when he was a young boy there was a mackerel know as the spring mackerel it was very large and beautiful to eat and then the summer would bring in the summer mackerel. He said the spring mackerel are long gone. I never heard of the spring mackerel. Didn't miss what i didn't know. Sounds like a spring salmon. The same man told me the shoals of sea bass were so big they would be breaking the surface in millions eating the sprat and you would have to look very carefully to see where they mackerel or sea bass their dorsal fin giving the bass away. There's no shoals of bass like that anymore.
