Areet Chris? Great video, it really cheered me up while in hospital battling covid.. quality fat Pollock, I could watch those being landed all day long. Keep up the good work!
Oh no Iain! I hope they let you out soon man. In the meantime though..could I borrow your ZX Spectrum…? Seriously though Iain I hope you’re fighting fit again soon matey 🤞
Another excellent video! I live in Whitley Bay and have been a shore fisherman for most of my life. Most of my shore fishing is done in winter and mainly at Sandy Bay as I had a caravan there for over 40 years and know the area well.( in fact I have been mackerel fishing today at Newbiggin Bay without success )I've dabbled in boat fishing over the years having had a couple of boats, one which was on a trailer which we used mainly off Newbiggin, and one which was stored in a boat compound at the South end of Newbiggin beach. It was definitely a young mans hobby, launching and retrieving ! We had a tractor which made things a bit easier, but it was still hard work. I'm 68 now and my boat days are long gone, but my one regret when watching your kayak adventures is that they were not around when I was younger. I really appreciate your videos, and your love of fishing is there for all to see. Keep up the good work !!
Thanks Kevin, I’m so glad you’re enjoying my videos. Get a kayak with a trolling motor and you’re good to go I say! I was out from Whitley yesterday and it was a bit slow. Still managed 7 or 8 out in a few hours but the fog forced me back in. Tight lines matey 👍
It’s a great mark but the launch is very surfy so it needs to be flat calm. It’s also a good few k to the mark. I only got out there the once last year. I’ll be doing a few trips this year though it’s top if my list! 🎣🎣
Not sure why I've only just found your channel but I'm glad I did. I've just got my first yak so will be heading out up near dunny Castle next time I'm up your way.
Can I be brutally honest, when I first came a cross you're vids, you done my head in with you're laughing and joking like that bloody John Wilson, I am now you're biggest fan, I love getting out on the yak and love you're non serious approach.
Another stunning video. Good to see how excited you get when fishing and the respect that you show to the fish. Very well done . Stay safe and tight lines. Mike.
Thanks very much Mike, I’ve never been a 😎 cool angler. I get excited for every single trip and every single fish. Sometimes I can’t sleep the night before!
Great video and some cracking fish - this is an area we are just starting to explore (we're moored up in Amble). We visited it last week and couldnt get past the cod (first world problems!) so hoping to head back tomorrow and catch the elusive pollack as we've never had one yet!
Cracking fish there. Heard rumours that Hauxley held some nice fish and you've just proved it. Will need to get out there and give it a try. BTW, you must have been roasting in your dry suit!!
Cheers Nathan, I had my eye on it for ages, the ground looked amazing on Navionics so I was just waiting for the weather, and yes, I was a tad warm by the end of the day! You should give it a go, definitely worth the paddle.
Cracking video mate, I'm from this neck of the woods and have just bought myself a sit on fishing kayak. Fished Blyth Pier today and it was choka block. I need to get out on the water and fish some places where there's not so many people. Bought a sit on fishing kayak which arrives Wednesday, going to start off easy and get used to the kayak staying well within the bays. got to get myself a fish finder, a life jacket and two way radio before I go out. Any tips you can give is much appreciated. Ill be looking to fish places like Whitely, Blyth, Newbigin, Lynmouth, Cambois, Druridge when the conditions are right obviously.
Hiya mate, you won’t regret getting into kayak fishing it’s a different world compared to the shore. You’re gonna love it. I would suggest joining a couple of Facebook groups North East Kayak Anglers, Kayak Fishing Uk, Anglers Afloat etc. lots of local lads on there, people often post on there when they’re going out as well. Tight lines mate 👍🎣
I don't do face book lol... Well all kitted up now radios, licensed and registered etc etc looking forward to getting out on the water this weekend weather permitting. Thanks for the reply and tight lines everyone. keep up the good work with your channel mate you got me hooked
Hello mate, cracking videos! I’m from Ashington so close enough to duriidge, just wondering mate I’ve just taking up fishing this year and am after a yak now, I know you use the sturgeon fx, I am just wondering which lures you use, which rod to use for yak spinning rod? And what weight line cheers mate
wht brand of kayak do you use ?? i live in florida and got in to kayak fishing 2 years a go . i worked 24 yeays on party/head boats in florida and road island .in the north cod /poleck / and so on. like you fishing stay safe from across the pond.
Hi Bear, I’m using a Galaxy Sturgeon FX. I really like it. It’s fast, stable and not too expensive. In some regions it’s called the Alboran FX. Pedals are much easier than paddles i find. Tight lines my friend and I hope the weather here is half as good as Florida today. 😃👍🎣
Cheers Robin, so the swing arm and the base plate are both railblaza. In this vid I’m using a Striker 4 plus (I’ve just upgraded to a Lowrance 5 reveal) and I’m just using what came in the box to attach it to the base plate. I’ve done the same with my new finder. Hope that helps?
Hi Darren mate, I use the 25g ones. Tribute minnows aren’t actually a thing, it’s just a daft name I use for cheap Chinese versions of the Fiiish Black Minnow. I prefer the real deal but have still caught stacks of fish on the tributes. I order them direct from China.
@@onthedropfishing i dont suppose you would let us know where we could get them? Links or websites to order the chinese copies ? Great channel by the way. I fish out of Blyth so im not far away. 👌
Hi Jack, I replied to your other comment mate with regards the effectiveness of the scent. The ones I’ve randomly been using are squid, blood worm and vanilla 👍🎣
Great videos china. I see you have the Sturgeon FX and assume your previous boat was a Sturgeon by the look of it. I came close to getting a Sturgeon a few years ago but didn't. However, I'm seriously considering the FX now. How do you find it and how are Galaxy to deal with? I've been sea angling since the 70's, mostly shore but a fair bit of boat too. Looking to get into kayaking. I'm in North East Scotland so similar ground to your area. Any advice and guidance appreciated.
Hi mate, I loved my old sturgeon and I love the FX even more. Galaxy UK are a small setup and the service is first rate. That’s my experience and all I’ve ever heard from others. Don’t forget to budget for all of your safety gear fist then kayak second. You’ll need your drysuit, pfd and floating vhf radio. You’ll want a fish finder with gps as well for when the fog rolls in. It’s a great sport and I’m sure you’ll love it. 👍🎣
@@onthedropfishing Thanks for that. Yeah, I've got a list of equipment I need to get. My intentions are probably to get the kayak first as well as the basic safety equipment and only use it very close to shore (ie within my safe swimming distance) for a start and over the winter build up by kit, skills and confidence month by month until I'm ready to venture further as of next spring. What make/type of dry suit would you recommend? They seem to be very pricey. Cheers!!
I see there's a Sturgeon FX2 on the go now. All I can see are videos in Spanish so hard to tell the differences except it has a bigger storage well in front of the seat. Dunno what it'll cost or when the UK store will have them. Might be worth me holding off for one or for a price drop on the existing one.😁
Great video good fishing , what size rod and reel are you using ? I've just gotten a kayak and was wondering would the 8ft ugly stick elite be too long for a yak ? Cheers
Hi Michael, glad you enjoyed it. I use a 6ft and sometimes a 7ft rod. You’ll be fine with 8ft I imagine, a tad on the long side but I’m sure it’ll be okay.
@@tomfletcher44 I’m glad you meant hat! I thought I’d missed something 😂 you can get them from usual places. Glad you’re enjoying the vids as well, new upload tomorrow night 👍

Cheers Paul, glad you’re enjoying the content. I’m really enjoying my FX 🎣
@@onthedropfishing like your self I wanted a peddle system but just could not justify a hobie. This looked a good alternative.

"Wey hey hey hey" "wo ho ho"!
Another amazing video and love the way you value the welfare of the fish!

Awesome, launch from Craster and fish just north east of the point 👍🎣
These are my favourite days for fishing it’s just words can’t describe how amazing these days are
It was an aces day Charlie 👍🎣

I think this is a compliment… so I think I’m going to say thank you 😂. I’ve never been one of those cool fishermen like 😎
Great video and some cracking fish
Thanks very much, it was a canny day 👍🎣
What a great video mate cracking day.
Cheers Ben, just waiting for a settled spell so I can launch there again 👍🎣
Another cracking video , showing us some cracking fish. Great entertainment. 👍

Congrats on that PB pollock altogether a great day and nice to watch.
Thanks very much, it was such a beautiful day.
Best vid yet, Chris. Superb stuff. Would love it if you did some shore stuff in the winter!
Cheers Ross, I fully intend to do that this winter. Just need to get my cod 6 and 7000c back that I lent to my mate Mick in 1992! 😂
Happiest chap I've seen in ages 😆 I'm subscribed. Great pollock 🎣🎣👌
Yeah I’m definitely not a cool angler! Thanks for the sub 👍
Chris cracking video and some real nice fish looking forward to landing my own double figure fish best of luck mate
Cheers Thomas mate, it’s quite a thrill on the light gear! Tight lines matey 👍
Cracking video absolutely love fishing for them kelp divers
Pollack are just the best aren’t they 🎣
Excellent mate, it's my first year kayak fishing and I'm loving it.
Got myself a viking reload and I'm invading my local waters, it's great fun 👍🎣💪
You picked a good yak, couple of my mates have them and they love them. Tight lines matey 👍
Fantastic mate!

Cheers Simon, I was over the moon with that pollack. It was such a beautiful day. 👍
good watch
Thanks very much Edward 👍
Really enjoyed that (and your enthusiasm). What rod is it your using and its casting weight? Cheers
Hi mate, thanks very much. The rod is a Rovex Integra Gold 8-14lb. It casts 25-40g-ish without any problems 👍
Great session, some good fish there 👍👍
Thanks man, it was a thoroughly enjoyable day 👍
What a day! Super Pollock,, They fight like hell,, cant wait to catch one :0)
They’re without doubt my favourite fish to catch 🎣
Smashing it man!
Thanks very much matey 👍
Nice pb mate at least one of us is catching hay
You’ll get a big un soon enough Lee, I know the carp don’t mind the sun so much but I dare say it’s been to hot even for them lately.
Just discovered your channel. Love the enthusiasm. You should be on telly! Subbed
Thanks very much for the sub I really appreciate it ! Glad you’re enjoying the channel. Tight lines 👍🎣
Well done, lam a new viewer to your channel, l really enjoyed it, do you ever keep a couple for the table
Thanks very much I’m glad you’re enjoying the channel. I do like to see them swim away, I’ll just catch them next year when they’re even bigger 😃🎣
this looks a cracking sport, good fishing, how do you tie the fiiish minnows on? straight to the braid or swivel and bit of 8lb flurocarbon?
It’s a canny spot, I use a barrel swivel to the braid with a palomar knot then about 4 foot of 20lb fluoro to a snap swivel 👍🎣
9.37 chips and peas trance, I missed the next 2 minutes 🤣

What kind of shoes are you wearing with your drysuit there??

They are…..Tescos own brand waterproof shoes! Best thing I bought last year!
@@onthedropfishing do you may have link??

No worries, I also use about 3-4 feet of 20lb fluorocarbon to the lure via a barrel swivel 👍

Yes pretty much Anthony, I’ll catch them next year when they’re even bigger! Tight lines matey 👍🎣
Do you not eat fish? Cos to be honest if a cod or pollock comes up 3lb or more, I go into a trance and all I can see is chips and peas 🤣
12lb Pollock id guess!
That’s exactly what I was thinking, you’ve read my mind!
