Hiya bud only just found your channel and found it interesting so just subscribed cracking video on the flattys iv not fished there before but have wanted to give it a try for year's I'm in Pembrokeshire so might have a trip up one day
great vid,stumbled across your site this morning.Iwill be drowning worms on Wednesday morn @ Neath marshes.Looking forward to it.. Thanks again for your tips and shareing your fun.
I fish that same spot regularly, and always seems to produce. Had 19 in 90 minutes last time out. Even so, I think I've learned a few things from this video, thanks, and keep up the good work.
Brilliant video. Brings back lovely childhood memories with my dad. Nice relaxing session. Excellent idea for the ball weight and good clear explanations. Subscribed 👍
Brilliant video Phil...'I'm not going to eat that one...not with eyes like that'...lol Always a treat when one of your videos pops up in the notifications. 🎣😁
Yet another good video Phil. Informative as always. I use very similar tactics, although never thought of the ball weight, (I shall have to give it a go) for Flounder here on the Teign estuary in Devon. Keep up the good work.
What an excellent educational video. Thanks Phil. I would imagine the same tactics would work on flounder here in Oz. Never caught one but they are here.
Really enjoyed your video Phil, I was meant to go there on Monday but got called into work unexpectedly, gutted. Will try to get down there soon but the tides are getting bigger at the moment so will get there as soon as conditions are right again.Thanks again mate.
Yes the small tides are easier to fish as you seem to know but you can get away on a medium at a push. In this video I fished a 7.6m tide Swansea in the arrowsmiths book to give you an idea 👍🏼
Been looking around you tube and came across your chanel .been going through your videos for the last couple of hrs..biggest flounders I've ever caught were off the slip opposite Dafen River .best tasting too
@@BanditFishingUK my boys been catching double figure skate for a while now 🤦🏻♂️13 year old but I think they would enjoy that video very helpful as I’ve fished for years but never in a estuary
Love this flounder video Phil, lots of information and tips explained really well ,keep it up ,and when are you going to get bandit hoodys fishing hoodies for sale . Love your channel. 👏👏👏👏👍🏻
I park west the end of - Loughor foundry, Gwydr place, Loughor. SA4 6TW. That’s the closest address I can find. I park by an old roundabout at a dead end and walk over the bank and I’m there 👍🏼
never heard of a rag worm farm, many years ago i used to dig king rag from anglsey . some worms were 2 foot long. i bet the beach has had its heart dug out by now
A gentle strike doesn’t harm but as long as your hooks are very sharp you should hook most flounders by winding in at a steady pace. They usually take the hook well in to their mouths and rarely come off. Thanks for watching!
Yes Paul it’s pretty easy. If you can find the loughor boating club there’s a a lane that goes past it and ends up by an old roundabout that’s a dead end. Just park by the roundabout taking care not to block any resident access. Then you walk up and over the sea wall and choose your spot. Any problems finding it don’t be shy to ask more questions 👍🏼🎣
Thanks for that but every time I look for anything to do with Ian Gold I get told discontinued, do you know if they have stopped supplying or gone bust or what
I’m not sure sorry mate. I bought this around 5 years ago at a guess. I hope you find one because they are a brilliant tripod. Also if you fish at night try to get the glow in the dark fittings which make it much easier to find your stand
We generally fish the muddy estuaries in the depths of winter because the cold seems to put the crab off. They’ll never all stop pinching your bait but between November and February as long as there have been plenty of frosts your baits will get a good soak. Regular casts are a must also. We target flounder on the surf beaches any other time of year partly to avoid the crabs elsewhere. Thanks for watching James
In South Wales flounder can be caught all year but they seem to be more prolific in the estuaries in autumn and winter. In the spring and summer you find more on the clean Sandy beaches (see our surf fishing video for bass and flounder). Now (January) I would expect them to still be in the estuaries in decent numbers. Thanks for watching Liam!
It was mono line is this video. I know of anglers who spin at low water using flying-cs or similar but there’s something nice about chilling out, sitting on the box with a flask of coffee and watching the rods rattle!
I’ve got no idea Don! I’d like to find out what was wrong with that fish. It was in great condition otherwise so I put it back to have a chance anyway 👍🏼
This method was ok 40 years ago. Far better to fish quiver tip leger in the edge with6-8 lb line, size 12 hook, 1 oz lead and few head hooked creeper (maddies). In other words coarse fishing method.
Hi Paul, thanks for watching, I can see the fun in that method it’s always nice to scale down to the lightest tackle possible to catch fish for a sporting reason but the possibility of weed tide and wind could make fishing that light very difficult if not impossible. I would hate to make the efforts and not being able to fish because my tackle was too light for the conditions. All the best and tight lines.
