Fishing Southbourne with my Barbel Rod! 

Thanks for watching 😁

Thanks Mark.

Thanks mate. It was a fun little session.

Thanks for watching mate 👍

Mrs Tom does me proud!

Thanks mate. Nice to have the conditions to be able to fish light for a change.

Deffo mate, love fishing light.

Thise winds have been brutal this last week or so. Glad to see some warmer winds coming in from the west next week.

Thank you mate. I like to try and think of things that maybe a few others can try too. I enjoy the variety of fishing we have available to us, be it species, venues or tactics.

Thank you, Mr Anderson.

Cheers mate!

Thank you mate 😁

Blimey! That's putting my 7oz ray to shame 🤣🤣

@@christchurchanglingcentre5428 I wasn't meaning to brag,in fact I waffled on for far too long about sea fishing with carp rods and not needing to buy all new gear to fish the sea so shortened it down. Stingers a true story tho lol Jason G and Stevie Perry would confirm xx

I didn't doubt you for a second matey. It's an incredible fish, you have the bragging rights on that one for sure 😁

@@christchurchanglingcentre5428 Cheers man. Mad story that came with the ultimate ending. Five days camped on the beach for a couple of little males...drove home to Newark,then to Worcester next day for Dads funeral.Back to Newark and then at a loss went back to aldwick the next day...2nd night she appeared X

That's an amazing story, mate. It was meant to be!

Yes, I must get that done.

🤣🤣

We used to run a few comps through the shop, but we live in an area of very few match anglers. Having said that, I think there could be scope for more informal/social meets on the beach, with perhaps a little kitty for biggest/most fish.

Thanks mate.

And another comment I've completely missed.... Sorry matey! I use braid for my dongles, so just hook it on. I've just done a little live bait dongle vid, that may shed some light... Hope you're keeping well. Catch up soon.

Ok matey.

🤣🤣 Not sure that would end well. Doubt it'd even know it was hooked.

I find the urfe tangles far less than a 3 way swivel.

Not really mate, just a light beach rod really. It's a fixed hybrid tip, beach ledgers tend to have removable quiver tips.

🤣🤣 bad man

I was more surprised than most when you didn't go for the XL... 🤣🤣🤣

@@christchurchanglingcentre5428 it became clear, thereafter, that I am more of a hobbit than most Mr Tea-bag!

Your feet certainly fit that role.

This video was on Saturday. The fishing was tough, with only small fish showing. It's difficult to give an exact answer, as there are so many variables with fishing. It could be a water craft issue, bait, rigs, distance etc etc. It's easy for me to find a few fish as I fish it so often, so know what, where, and how to approach it. Perhaps next time you're planning a trip, pop in the shop, and we can discuss rigs, bait, etc, in detail.

Assuming you mean a Bagnall Bar rather than an urfe? The bar won't bend because of your lead. I use 6oz more than anything. The lead is at the end of the bar, therefore can only pull it in a straight direction, it can't bend it in the middle. Hopefully that makes sense! They can bend if you get snagged in or tangled up, something that will put pressure on the middle of the bar.

i bought a couple of bagnall bars from you several years ago and the wire was much thinner. @@christchurchanglingcentre5428

hi tom, great video,s can you tell me where you get the springs for the bagnall bar .i havent been able to find any to fit the 316 wire. @@christchurchanglingcentre5428

Hasn't had a 3 foot twitch for a while, sadly.

There are rumours circulating that Tom does in fact grace the shop with his presence. I believe that they are exactly that, rumours.

I do work in the shop, but only when the weather's no good or the fish aren't feeding... 🤣🤣

😂😂😂

Well that's ok then... However, you live and work on the South Coast which is famed for it's fine weather and exceptionally productive waters; smart move, I like it 😎 @@christchurchanglingcentre5428

Yes, it was Saturday just gone.

Thanks 🙏
