Fishing for Sand Eel's from the Pier 

Thanks Gary.

Good idea. Thanks I have learned something today.

Exactly. There is no totally waste of money. It's about how you use it. :)

video and this comment made me lol

in a perfect world

Love that idea

clip the weight on the end with the clip, drop the weight and they will all come off in order and without any tangles. then just tie your main line to the swivel.

Thanks Vitaliy.

Thanks Martin.

Strand

Thanks Liam.

Thanks Steve, gutted for you mate how much is it up to now?

Not sure. Would of been nice t9 land it tho.

Thanks mate 👍

I usually keep them for when I’m fishing away, but they can be used around here for bass, cod, flattys, pollock etc

Thanks Phil. Yeah had a few herring this year they seemed to be everywhere especially in the rivers.

@@fishingintheukgarywood the first year I hardly got to fish and they were everywhere. I still haven’t had one.

When they are in fully one of the best places to get them is from the walkway in shields.

@@fishingintheukgarywood a regular haunt of mine when I’m not constantly babysitting. Got to jury’s inn Gateshead last night. Black lugg tipped with hermit and a piece of octopus to keep the hook clear, did the job. Not much over 2lb but still fish. Tight lines gary. Looking forward to the next video.

Hi mate, I usually do it both ways I cast and slowly retrieve and also drop it straight down the pier wall near the bottom and jig them straight up and down slowly until I feel a bite.

Thanks, late spring and throughout the summer. June, July and August are usually the best months .

Thanks mate, they usually turn up from around mid to end of May depending on the weather and sea conditions.

I think it was about 28g.

i do this aswel with all my sea trout gear ive tobys over 20yr old without a spot of rust on them! i dry them off before i put them in my box on the beach 2

We went to Holyhead in Anglesey, got on quite well caught some decent fish. One of my favourite places to fish.

@@fishingintheukgarywood Well done,what did you get?I've fished the break water at Holy head but got nothing fishing lug on one and going for squid on lures on another :/ it was only the once though.We stay by moelfre and fish off the rocks there mainly(obviously hols isn't all to do with fishing,but do what we can)aside from mackrel bashing which it's famous for you can catch all kinds from codling to launce,wrasse and herring.This coming holiday season I'm gonna try for gar fish on light tackle,it'll make a change from a 15ft rod and a chucking out a 7oz lead.I'm sure they are there.I've been watching this tonight,he's a cracking fella and fisherman,any questions he certainly answers.check this out.he has a vid on cooking em too! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-lfkWpyJwEMk.html

Thanks David here’s the first video of the trip ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-3JPaplNrG70.html the rest should follow on from there.

@@fishingintheukgarywood cheers Gary I'll take a look!

I've tried them but haven't had much luck with them. I've had more luck with the 10cm savagear sandeel slugs.

They’ve shut the pier completely now and made the staff who patrolled it redundant so even less welcoming.

Thanks Sion. We are going to Anglesey.

Gary wood ever tried Llandudno?

South Wales yr best bet mate, loads ray marks...only one never seen caught within 10 miles of Aberthaw (RIGHT at arse end) is an undulate....even the odd stinger shows up now n then....more then though to be fair, lol

I've never been there before but it's on the way to where I'm going next week is it any good?

Could do with catching some rays might have to have a trip to south Wales some time.

I wrap them in clingfilm and put them in the freezer.

Mainly through the summer months.

@@fishingintheukgarywood Iv'e caught a few locally in the summer but cant seem to get past the herring lol

Thanks Steely. Aye shouldn't be long before the mackerel turn up now that the sand eels are about.

Aye there should be but I was mainly just after the sand eels for bait.

you can buy the sabikis and spinners off amazon there is a link in the description to the sabikis.

Thank you i found it on ebay , great video have learn alot about sea fishing .

I was just collecting them for bait to freeze that time. I tried them as live bait on the float the last time i was on the pier nothing took it that time but I'll try again next time hopefully something big will take it.
