Hi Kevin thanks for that and makes a change to all catch a few fish. Best bit were all the smiles on the faces of the lads. Everything came together good tide, fresh bait, good weather, not much weed and some fish in good company. Sitting here at work looking at the rain thinking of the winter months on beaches ahead of me. Take care cheers Paul 👍🍺🍺🐠🎣

Hi John thanks for that and for taking the time to watch and comment and one of those days that makes you want to keep fishing to get another one and what drives all us fisher folk out there. Take care cheers Paul 👍🐠🐠🍺

Hi Derek thanks for that and missed your company on the beach cheers Paul 🍺🍺🍺🐠🐠

Hi Graham thanks for that and taking time to watch and comment we were lucky that the fish were playing ball. How many times have we got excited, arrived on a beach with fresh bait haven driven miles to catch nowt. Suppose that’s why we keep going knowing that one day the big fish will come along take care Paul 👍🐠🐠🍺🎣

Hi Tony what a kind thing to say and if ever your way will buy you a pint. Great day but what made it for me was the smiling faces on everyone there. Take care cheers Paul 👍👍🐠🐠🍺

Hi Ray thanks for that and surprised me to see the Codling and remember the crazy Dungeness days when I was a youngster. I do need to stop putting rods on beach but sometimes in a rush to get the fish unhooked and back and generally my rod rest is a wee bit up the beach. My wife keeps telling me the same and that I might trip over them. Tight lines and take care 👍🐠🐠🍺

Hi Argo and yep not a bad day when everything came together. Good tide, good weather, small amounts of weed, great bait, ace company and a fishy bonus cheers Paul 🍺🍺🍺👍🎣🎣

Hi Klaus and yep cannot quite believe it and wouldn’t it be great if this winter there are a few around to catch. Ace day in ace company cheers Paul 👍👍🍺🍺🍺

Hi Colin we are like the beach equivalent of last of the summer wine😂 how Andy does it is a mystery to me and he does it consistently but spends all his spare time fishing somewhere coarse, sea and boat plus he is an intuitive angler who fishes a lot of competitions . Cheers take care 👍👍🍺🍺🎣

Thanks for that and one of those days where it all came together good tide, weather and bait but made even better with good company and a few fish for a change cheers 👍👍🍺🍺🐠🐠

Hi Carl thanks for the kind words and would be lovely if your bike could fly down to a local beach as would be ace to have a fish together and compare haircuts 😂like you I like a foggy day adds mystery. One of those days when it all came together good tide, weather, bait and great company. Sort of session that rarely come by and a surprise visit by the codling although a few being caught around the south that dodge the trawlers. My son is over from Poland for next couple of weekends and wasn’t going to go till after he’s back but have managed to blag Sunday this weekend. Only got frozen bait this time so who knows. Good to hear from you up there in the North take care cheers Paul 👍🍺🍺🐠

Carl thanks for taking the time to watch and comment much appreciated take care Paul 👍🐠🐠🍺

Hi Nigel just of to work yuk and yes one or two codling being caught and remember the days of my youth when you could almost guarantee one if you picked the right beach. Cheers for your nice comments much appreciated take care 👍🐠🎣🎣🍺

Hi Rob you should definitely make a trip down Selsey way and as you say a lot closer than Dave and Keith. Andy still caught more than us all 😂 may head Shoreham way this Sunday but son back from Poland at the weekend and may have a beer or two with him. Take care Paul 👍🐠🐠🐠

Hi Martin thanks for that and just back from work. Wife and daughter up in London paying respect to the Queen and am dog and mother in law sitting. It was an ace day and going this Sunday with Ross who is back in Uk. Enjoy your cruise and look forward to seeing you on a beach further afield 👍👍👍👍🎣🍺

Hi Adam , surreal day watching the Queens final journey and we do a good pomp and ceremony in the UK. Went fishing yesterday and was up at 3.30am and fished all day for one tiny wrasse 😆 still that’s fishing and why we do it. Brixham is a lovely place and one day in not to distant future am moving to near the coast once retired.Take care and thanks for the support cheers Paul 👍👍🐠🐠🍺

Thanks fellow and one of those days that rarely come around and not too much weed to plague us. I am going to grab a day this weekend with Ross probably Shoreham and wish you big luck 🍀 🍺👍🐠🐠

Thanks for that and cannot quite believe that after all these long years of fishing and remembering the Dungeness days that I see and catch one. Brilliant day all round and great to see the smiles on Dave and Keith’s face take care cheers Paul 👍👍🍺🍺

Got the rods ready youve inspired me to wet my lines!!!! Bridlington in the next few days!!!! Or Holderness coast.. cheers!!!! 😁😁😁

@@michaelsellers9123 Hi Michael my fingers are crossed and you stand a greater chance up your neck of the woods for a codling or two. Good luck take care Paul 👍👍🍺🍺🎣

Can I ask what you use to film with please? Is it a gopro or a phone? Im not going in competion with you just for holidays! 😁😁

@@michaelsellers9123 Hi Michael I use four cameras. Shots of the intro was a drone above me and you can hear the slight buzz of the rotors in the background and record the sound separately then sun together. The film right at the start was on an iPhone on a tripod. The longer shots are on a go pro 8 black and find it a bit fiddly but it takes high resolution video. Main camera I use is an iPad 11 inch pro with a fancy tripod to set shots up and keep things steady. My go to camera would be the iPad as good battery life for videos although I take spare battery packs. Hope that assists take care

Glad to know there are other geeks out there 😂 and re returning fish never have the heart to knock them on the head as they are such fantastic looking creatures and bring me joy just catching them and seeing them swim away to fight another day and in some small way help with fish stocks for the future. Take care and tight lines cheers Paul

Hi thanks for the great comments really appreciated. Would be great to fish with you next Andy and I are down that way. Chuck me an email to greenfingersandtoes@gmail.com and will let you know cheers Paul

Hi as promised just to let you know few of us fishing this Sunday at Selsey same place as before cheers Paul 👍

@@SeaFishingWithPaul lm on duty this weekend..but best of Luck

@@mrlv8126 thanks and will let you know next time 👍

@@SeaFishingWithPaul please do and many thanks…

Hi Fella thanks for the great comments much appreciated and cannot quite believe that I have been catching a few fish. Really enjoyed the day and sometimes wonder if we stress about catching does it affect the catch rate. Even the weather was on our side. Take care cheers Paul 👍🐠🐠🐠

Thanks for taking the time to watch and comment really appreciated and big thanks for the sub. Haven’t been out over the last several weeks being a combination of Christmas, work, rubbish winds and not the best tides at the weekends plus whiting and whiting 😂 Plaice generally turn up around beginning of February and aiming to get out next weekend weather allowing. Take care Paul 👍🐠🐠🍺🎣

@@SeaFishingWithPaul ohh yes all those things will get in the way. There’s been quite a few rays caught in the deal area lately if that is of interest to you , fresh herring as bait 👍🎣

@@oli_t_sea_angling Cannot beat local knowledge 👍👍 and will speak to Andy and may have a crack out that way 👍

@@SeaFishingWithPaul best of luck 🎣🎣

Hi Jeremy thanks for watching and commenting and you are fortunate indeed to live close to a brilliant fishing venue. Bream are brilliant fish with beauty and attitude and everything came together which with my history of fishing is unusual 😂 be great to meet you and have a fish together and certainly will let you know when we are next down that neck of the woods and aiming for two weeks time Saturday or Sunday need to check with home. Easiest thing to do is drop me an email to greenfingersandtoes@gmail.com Cheers Paul 🍺🍺👍👍

Hi Gerry thanks for the email and have responded 👍

Hi fellow, time is something we all need more of and understand that making videos particularly editing is mega time consuming and planning trip, driving etc. Hope the job is enjoyable and I only work three days a week now so can focus more on fishing trips and promised myself when younger if I had spare time would not squander it. To fish near the boats has to be done with caution. If you cast over the mooring chains obviously a problem. Good thing at Selsey is deep water close in and as long as you are in the tidal currents you are in with a chance. The main protagonist is weed and more weed. Look forward to seeing your next video take care cheers Paul 👍🐠🐠🐠🍺

@@SeaFishingWithPaul thanks for the info with the boats at selsey. Hopefully next year i will get down there. 3 days work 👌👌, more fishing time. Cheers 🎣👍

Would have been good to see you on the beach but sometimes home stuff needs doing. We were fortunate that it all came together and caught a mixed bag which put smiles on all our faces. Never tried the Bognor end of Pagham and be good to hear any recommendations take care Paul 👍🐠🐠🎣

Hi Paul and great name 😃 thanks for taking the time to watch and comment. Sub much appreciated 👍 Wow a 16 year gap from fishing, but like me as work family etc. took centre stage and rarely had time to go. My family all grown up and I work flexi hours now so have time to do a bit more fishing and always promised myself when younger if I had more time would not squander it and focus more on fishing. Climping is a shallow water venue, good for bait on the right tides and when visiting I would drive down long lane past the fancy hotel till you reach the sea. Turn right into grassed car park with loos and small snack bar. Drive right to the end and you will see a small gated path. Follow that and it goes through some trees and then opens out onto track. Follow track for about quarter mile and will get you away from the crowds and onto snag free sandy ground. Summer months flatfish, Gurnard, bass and chance of a ray or two. Better at night. Winter months usual suspects whiting etc.car park generally is free but when busy there is someone collecting money. I wish you luck and welcome back to angling 👍🐠🐠🐠🐠👍🍺cheers and take care Paul

Yep I did wonder myself 😂😂 and remember the halcyon days of my youth when my neighbours complained that they would like a change from Cod 😂 cheers and take care 👍🐠🐠

@@SeaFishingWithPaul I remember buying a chest freezer to hold the 3 to 5lb cod to eat. I always put back more than I kept. So long ago.......

Hi fellow thanks for those really kind comments and likewise would be great to have a fish together. Likewise am a fan of yours and watching your videos always cheers me up. Have been out the last two weekends and rubbish. Am heading out now for a two hour drive. My email is greenfingersandtoes@gmail .com Drop me a message and will sort a fishing trip with you. Take care cheers Paul 👍🍺🐠🐠
