Thanks for the kind comments Jenfen and for taking the time to post them, glad you're enjoying the video's! Haha... things definitely don't always go to plan! :-D Cheers Chris.

Hi Neil Haynes thanks for the kind comments and for taking the time to post them, I'm glad you enjoyed it! :-) Fingers crossed this year will be a good one!!! Already hearing a few reports about a few Codling around, so probably won't be far off the first trip now! :-) Good luck with your fishing and of course, tight lines!

Thanks for the kind comments John, thanks for taking a few minutes to leave us some feedback :-) Glad you enjoyed the video! It was pretty grim! I've bet you've been out in some conditions too then!!! Yeah it's tough round are way at the moment, seems to be lots of small fish and not much else to be honest. Nice to see those little fish though, I just hope they survive and come back next year. Hope you get out and manage something a little larger! Tight lines, cheers Chris.

Thanks very much Paul, so glad you enjoyed the videos and that you found them useful! Also thanks for taking the time to comment, its always nice to hear feedback from people, especially positive stuff, it makes it all worth while! :-) Good luck with your fishing!

HI Jonny, thank you for the kind comments, glad you are enjoying the video's in this little challenge series, there should be lot's more to come this winter too and fingers crossed... hopefully we'll achieve our goal!!! :-)

Thanks mate, glad you enjoyed the video! Yeah I know what you mean!!! Our beach fishing video's will look a lot different from theres! And there's would probably contain more/bigger fish! Haha! We'll keep trying though, roll on the spring and those Bass and Hounds! :-)

Thank you, glad you enjoyed it! It's just case of getting a bigger one now, a proper one!!! :-D

Thank you for the kind comments, and for taking the time to post :-) glad you enjoy them!

Hi Beowulf 59 thank you for the kind comments and for taking the time to post them, glad you enjoyed the video :-) Haha… now that would be nice!!! ;-)

Thanks for the kind comments, glad you're enjoying the video's and find them useful! :-)

Cheers +Kevin Pearce glad you enjoyed it and thanks for taking the time to comment! :-)

Nice one mate!

No worries Will Draper glad you enjoyed the video and thanks for taking the time to comment! Good luck with session on Sunday, fingers crossed you manage to get amongst a few!!! Tight lines, cheers Chris.

Thanks mate, glad you enjoyed the video and thanks for taking the time to comment! Am sure we can cover some of them species, we have tried Perch recently, but unfortunately we failed miserably! We'll try again though! :-)

Thanks John West glad you enjoyed the videos and thanks for taking the time to comment! Glad you liked my presenting too! :-) Hopefully we should be back on the quest next week on the set of big tides! Tight lines, cheers Chris.

Hi mate, yeah we are still making video's, just been very busy recently - there'll be lots more to come throughout this year though. Glad you enjoy what we have online so far and that you have found them useful and thanks for taking the time to leave us a comment. Hope you've been catching a few fish! :-)

Thanks Jason! Thanks for taking the time to comment! Yeah that's it mate, it's just nice to catch them whatever the size! Sure beats catching 'pin' Whiting. I've had them off that stretch of beach to nearly 8lb, but that was a few years back now! Hopefully the little chaps we were catching will grow on and visit us in winters to come! :-) Tight lines, cheers Chris.

Hi Jez, thanks for the kind comments, glad you enjoyed the video. Shame about your fishing yesterday, like you say perhaps there is just small fish around everywhere... it maybe that when the crabs come into moult, a few bigger fish follow, but I'm not banking on it! Haha. Might have another trip or two, then focus my attentions on the Smoothound and Bass! The last few years I've had more success targeting them. :-) Thanks again, be lucky and tight lines!

Haha thanks John Green I guess these videos are more of a blog/diary style piece, documenting our latest experiences, hopefully soon we'll catch something a lot more worthwhile though! :-) Good luck with your fishing and tight lines, cheers Chris.

Thanks Ritchie! :-) No worries, we enjoy doing it and have lots more to come! Am actually editing a new sea fishing video as we speak!

Thanks declan gray glad you enjoyed the video and thanks for taking the time to comment! Not long till the new Cod fishing season now!!! :-)

Thanks mate!

Thanks arvind seesanaye glad you enjoyed the video and thanks for taking the time to comment. It was pretty rough!!! Tight lines, cheers.

Hi Wayne, Haha... glad you enjoyed the video and thanks for taking the time to comment! Am pleased you enjoyed my presenting skills too, we do try! I think I might have to try that next time, fish mongers sounds like a good shout, however I'm hopefull (after all the small fish this year) that next year will be a different story! :-)

Thanks Henri! Much appreciated. Glad you enjoyed the video. :-)

Thanks mate, glad you enjoyed it! :-)

Hi Ritchie, glad you enjoyed the video! Thanks for taking the time to comment! :-) Haha... the cold windy weather is the norm here in the East, when Cod fishing through the winter months! :-))

I live in Watford Uk so we get mild weather compared to coastal weather.

Ah I didn't realise Ritchie! I thought you might have been in sunnier climates, because of your profile pic! You probably get your fair share of 'grim' weather too then! Haha!

Thanks michael wright glad you enjoyed the video and thanks for taking the time to comment! :-)

Thanks Abu, glad you enjoyed it and thanks for taking the time to comment. :-)

Hi rokerlad49 thanks for the kind comments, glad you enjoyed the video's! :-) I haven't been out much yet, but I have heard on the grapevine that the beaches are fishing well!! Unfortunately in Norfolk we haven't really got any rocky area's or kelp beds, so the bigger fish are sometimes harder to come by, but I'd love to fish a mark like that one day, so who knows! Perhaps we'll bring the camera's up North! :-) Keep us updated with your fishing, be lucky and of course, tight lines!!! Cheers Chris P.S I'm hoping to get out tomorrow and get some new footage, so fingers crossed a new 'Cod Filled' ;-) episode will be online soon!

nee botha lad just i fish alover in comps ect and i run my own salmon fishing on tyne been in my family near 120 years ... have come across alsorts big heads who no everything ect you put it over like a canny person should do ...not an attention seeker whos up himself good on you keep them coming as to cod its going mad up here ....cheers again

Thanks mate!

Thanks jon hayward glad you enjoyed the video and thanks for taking the time to comment! I know what you mean about the fishing!! I have my fingers crossed that the little chaps in this video will be back this year tho, slightly bigger and better than before… Thats the plan anyway! Tight lines and be lucky, cheers Chris.

Unfortunately here in East Anglia we aren't blessed with the best winter beach fishing Gary. Haha.

Haha! :-) Big well done to your son too, thats a cracking fish.

Haha! Thanks mate, I think it was more of a Codling than a Cod though! Haha! Whatever the size, it beats catching Whiting! :-)

Haha, +index23432 they were below our legal size here in the UK! :-) Glad you are enjoying the video's though and thanks for taking the time to comment. Tight lines, cheers Chris.

I am using the old Greys Grx-S beach rods, they are nice rods, they have enough poke to cast well, but aren't like broom handles, they are a nice all round fishing tool. There's a link in the video description for all the tackle in the video.

Thanks Beetlesgonefishin glad you enjoyed the video and thanks for taking the time to comment. Am sure I can sort something out regarding the rig! It's called a pulley pennel rig, if that helps! :-) Nice to hear from you all the way over in Australia too!!! Thanks again and hope your fishing is going well! :-)

+From The Waters Edge TV love your vids!!!

Haha, now there's a thought! :-) +R Dragon

Thanks John, glad you enjoyed the video and thanks for the feedback! I've never really used mussels, we don't tend to get them around our way! As for Whiting, I've fished them as live baits, but never as a 'flapper', could be interesting! ;-) Once again thanks for the feedback. Tight lines, cheers Chris

You are right there richard best weather conditions, tides, venue and bait are all far more important than the tackle you are using!

Haha! I've been over to Norway fishing many times, it's a wonderful country and the fishing is something else! :-)

How boring ...caching 40 to 60 lb cod lol

Nigel Horsley Thanks Nigel, glad you enjoyed the video! You are right about the fish and chips in Aldeburgh, they are some of the best!!! :-)

Thanks again Thomas Harrell

From The Waters Edge TV I am new to fishing any tips ?

+Armoured Tiger it's a good start to catch a fish

I tried that it didn't work lol

Haha, they were only small +popogast but a nice reward! :-)

The reels are penn 525 mag 2's by the looks of it, rods greys grxs i think

Thanks, yes when I had asked this Q. i was after a good feed of ale :) saw the makes the next day, but Thanks again

you are correct about the reels mate but I have no idea what Chris's rods are!

Thanks Ted jobe we do use Squid fairly regularly, however Worm normally seems to be the best bait.

Hi Armoured Tiger to be fair most of the tips I know are featured in our videos :-)

ah ok :) I will have a look at them now :)

Hi Michael, it's an old John Holden Beach Buddy. :-)

Hi Danny Thompson it's a 13ft rod. There's a tackle list in the video description too. Hope thats helps :-)

Hi Morgan, it's a Pulley Pennel Rig. If you have a look in the video description there is a link to a Tackle list, which shows all the items we are using. Hope that helps :-)

Oh, going to buy some now as you used good techniques for keeping the bait on. Thanks a lot!

Haha, sometimes I ask myself that James Guile :-)

Thanks Dylan Cockram glad you enjoyed the video and thanks for taking the time to comment! Ummmm to be honest, I don't really know! We just set up a RU-vid channel and started uploading a few videos etc and it just went from there! If you are fishing on your own from a Kayak then a GoPro camera might be a nice place to start? If thats sorta what you meant? Cheers Chris

Cheers mate yeah thats perfect glad to here from you too keep doing what your doing

Hi Christopher Lemonides thanks for the kind comments and I'm glad you enjoyed the video! Small Cod are just called Codling, well they are around our coastline. There's no different in the sex of the fish, Codling aren't a type of Cod, they are just a name given to one's below 6-10lb in weight. Hope that helps! Tight lines and good luck with your fishing, cheers Chris.

no honestly codlings are in the cod family alongside with pouting and whiting and they can all be caught on the river Thames as my video coming out soon might see me catch a codling ( that is going to be my prove, remember proper codling is without a dangly thing and the baby cod one is just a name, also correct) thx for your reply ( im only getting your fish knowledge better) and hopefully I will watch more vids.

Hi Christopher Lemonides I honestly don't want to argue :-) haha, but I can assure you a Codling isn't a species of fish, it's just a 'nick name' given to small Cod. If you google it you will find out... the result is Codling = a name given to a young Cod. I also found this on google... 'theres no such fish as Codling or School bass, it's just a name given to the immature fish of each respective species.' Anyway, it doesn't matter I just thought I'd mention it! Tight lines, cheers Chris.

ok I get your idea + I don't wont to argue but I was only telling you my river Thames fishing knowledge. I recommend you if you are going to a holiday in the capital (London) then you have to fish on the mouth of the river thames, lots of rockling, whititng, pouting and flounder

and my next vid on fishing at grays might show the species if im right ( or if not, a cod without a dangly bit in the wrong season) Good luck for your next fish trip ps the tides are coming (yay)

Hi Blake, no not at the moment mate, it's something we might look at getting done in the future though! :-)

thanks love your videos and hope you jumpers come out soon :) cant wait till it gets a bit warmer and ill be straight back fishing :D

Aldeburgh, Suffolk.

We'll hopefully be getting out in a boat, although Steve gets seasick, so I might need to find another cameraman! Haha! :-))

Hi +Toby Sivyer if you google Pulley Pennell there should be lots of info on how to make it. Hope that helps.

+From The Waters Edge TV thank you very much, I'll look on there and hopefully catch a lot with this :) !!

Haha, I know Ryan! Years of abuse on the shingle that is! I need to get a new pair really.

Haha, just a little bit it was!

😃😎

Haha, thanks michael wright :-)

Cheers Marek Botos

What do you mean David? It's a video of our fishing session with some tips in there for beginners.

Yeah we do suffer a little bit with a lack of fish. There always seems to be small fish, but a real lack of bigger specimens, certainly here in our area anyway. There was huge amounts of small Codling this year and I think I speak for many when I say I hope they grow on and visit us next year!

just came home after an evening of fishing. Caught about 15 cods, two of them about 7-8 pounds, the rest were about a pound or so .It took less then 2 hours. Released the smaller ones as gently as I could. Would you guys be interested is doing some fishing here I Sweden? Right now is the herring spawning , massive schools are hitting the beaches and the cods are right on the shores. Here in Blekinge there is a world class pike fishing, salmon and the sea fishing is decent two. Contact me if you are interested.
