A follow on video from the lasting wrecking trip, putting into practice the techniques discussed for wreck fishing around Whitby. @whitbywreckandreeffishing
great video, enjoyed watching that, could you possibily do a wreck fishing video using lures to catch cod sometime soon? - hopefully in a better quality resolution than 360p, nice to see a sharper video of what you do, thanks and look forward to your next video
Thanks for these videos very useful. I had a great day on Jean K yesterday using the Muppet traces and fresh mackerel. I wonder if you could recommend a reel for a budget for this type of fishing? I had a Shakespeare salt multiplier but wasn't up to the job and packed in. Can you recommend something for under £100.00 that's robust enough? Hopefully I will find a space on your boat one day!
If you want a reel with a level wind, the Warfare is probably the best option. If you’re not bothered about a level wind (I don’t particularly like them, as it’s something else that can break and isn’t really necessary) the Daiwa SL30SH “Slosh” is a great reel for the money. 👍
Hi love your blogs just went out and bought shakespear gx2 and the pen warfare reel only had 20-30 rods left nice rods thoughso im busy buying tackle ect i was wandering whats your prices fod day out thank you john
@@whitbywreckandreeffishing thanx so much they pay that at sunderland ill defenatley be coming down to whitby for day out with you ill get one under my belt and bit more gear first thank you
Thanks for the kind words Micky. I don’t use a leader. 60lb braid on the reel straight through. I’ve found 60lb to be perfect; 40lb isn’t quite enough in the wrecks. I have the same set up on all my hire tackle and if you use the breaker correctly, it will break at the crane swivel knot that your rig is attached to, when you get stuck in the wreck. I don’t see any advantage in using a leader in our situation. The biggest disadvantage is having to tie on a new one every time you break off. Everyone who I see do this, misses the next drift, which isn’t what you want to do. Time missed tying rigs is fish missed….👍
All due respects skipper, you are heavily over-gunned tackle wise for the species your fishing for. I used to fish years back. Max 20lb class rod, 30lb braid and a Penn reel. Caught loads. Nice vids.
Recreational divers generally dive at under 40m, so specialist deep sea equipment would be needed for deeper wrecks. This would make lead hunting more expensive than the scrap value.
Hi Kev. Just like @Tor1234 said, it's a difficult undertaking in the deeper water. Once you get a couple of miles off Whitby you will be in 50m of water, so need different equipment and gas (so I'm told by those who know).
Not much Slow Jigging is done on the Whitby Charter Boats Doug. Fishing in 50-70m of water the lightest leads we really use are 10oz for Shadding. I’m generalising….But with on average, 10 other lines running down and a bit of tide running, fishing with even a 120g Slow Jig causes tangles amongst the lines as they are significantly lighter, with everyone else on the boat generally using 12-16oz leads for bait fishing. I’ve seen a few people try them, but they tend to be taken off after a few drops when causing tangles. Regards Andy
What you choose to do on your own vessel, is entirely down to you Paul. I won't knowingly take people out to sea in poor conditions just to take money off them.
