Sunset at Silloth | Solway Beach Fishing | Cumbria 

Good effort David , just one of those sessions eh , I’m with you on fishing away from the crowds on the best marks mind , I’d rather fish away from other anglers whenever i can and blank than fish among folk on top of each other , lots of noise and people casting over you every chuck .. great footage as usual bud 👍🏻

Hi David I use to fish the mark you were fishing many years ago. At that time Silloth was famous for large bags of Flounders rather than Thornbacks and Smooth-hounds as it is now. However, the best time to fish was much the same. The last two or three hours of the ebb seemed the most productive with the flood being less so due to the strong increase in tidal flow which you get on the Solway coast.

Just been there today from 9 this morning I fished the beach 2 hours down then 2 up before moving onto the prom to fish high water tried all different baits and distances I never had a single bite all day, conditions looked spot on, just got back to Peterlee about an hour ago. Might try again in a few weeks or go to flat rock

Unlucky buddy, still a brilliant watch. Tight lines

Unlucky david like ya say its fishing still nice to get out there and free the mind keeps you busy some lovely footage there and on the rods t-900 for me 🙋‍♂️👍🏻🎣

Yea I hear you Dave , I like some space when i'm fishing too , as much as I can get , LOL , & I love talking to the beach walkers, especially if they are local and you can glean a bit of knowledge from them, but occasionally you get someone who just stands there and chats yr head off for 20 30 mins azif yr a captive audience , and eventually i have to say ' not being funny mate but I come out here for a bit of peace and quiet' and they leave 😂😂, Your program making skills just get better and better, that was really nice to watch and learn from regardless of a blank, keep fishing and tight lines 2u2 :)

Looks a lovely spot to fish. Rods are looking good. And I liked the detail and your thinking, in the way you bait up and use the dongle. Good stuff. Tight lines. And all the best. 🐳👍

Unlucky David. Top effort though as always. I too felt the cold cruel sting of the blank on my last coastal outing. Its fishing though, and always better than sitting at home. Take care.

You’re putting the miles in!! I’m sure you’ll get rewarded with some more excellent fish after all this effort. Your first Silloth video got me over to that beach for my first ever ray. Just need to tick a Tope and Smoothhound off now..

good video, as always and feel it is fishing better either side of high tide on the smallest of tides

Hi David, the first video of yours I watched was the time you fished Silloth and thought that you had triggered a speed camera on you way over. After I watched it my thoughts were that you really knew your stuff. Since then I haven’t been wrong, as your a credit to North East angling. Keep up the great work mate.

I’ve been carp fishing for nearly 50 years and I think you have got your rig wrong I know most people do it the same way but I think by strapping your hook to the bait it impedes your from turning that’s why we use the perfection knot so hook can turn I just think it would be more efficient if the bait could move independent of the hook anyway that’s my thoughts for what they’re worth great videos as usual happy days 🥸👍

Fished silloth a few times opens ect but never needed to cast that far..

RAYS you got the bug fishing welsh rays ain,t ya 👌

Hi David I was on the prom that night the rays only came on the last hour of the tide I had 2 out but was hard going tight lines

welcome to Cumbria Mate weather is always unpredictable

Yin and yang.

Cracking video as per mate Use a medical rubber glove to pull the weed off the line you will be impressed how fast that snotty stuff comes off. The weed is on n off. Where you getting more weed on the braid than the mono?

Cracking video, waters still to cold for smoothound and bass had thornbacks on boat off mawbray last week . Tight lines marra

Unlucky mate,I’ve just came home empty handed aswell, we can’t win ‘em all and all that…. Great video as usual though, thanks for putting the effort in. on a different note is there any chance you could make a video on how you tie your two hook clipped down rig with the rig tubing on if you a chance one day please? Tight lines 🎣

Great watch mate. Your drone footage and editing is second to none. 👍🏻 I'm still learning with the drone but I'm getting better, I think 😂

Good effort David

Excellent video buddy I'm heading to silloth on Friday have you got any recommendations for decent spots and what bait to use tia

Hi pal that’s fishing the solway you should pop over to the other side mate I’ll show you some new spots pal
