- Tony Kirrage is a world renowned Champion Sea Match angler, he is also a magazine collumnist, a Tackle shop Proprietor, Tackle designer, and now an Author. ( he also squeezes in a bit of Taxi driving as a hobby)
I feel very fortunate that I was able to persuade Tony to allow me to accompany him when he fished the Eastbourne Nomads Open Beach match competition recently and film him.
This is the edited video of this.
The hardest part was to edit this down to a reasonable length video, as the 4 hours of the match were filled with learning points and action, and I actually entered the edit suite with nearly 4 hours of video, .
So I havent shown all of the fish he caught
but
Hopefully I have managed to include the most important lessons .
Tony scored over 300 points which could on another day have been a winning score , but on this day the winner scored over a thousand. To be fair to Tony he had me distracting him (although I tried not to) and he really was not on a good peg.
I learned a lot, The biggest lesson being that Im not sure if I want to be entering any sea match competitions in the near future , as I like to fish for relaxation, and sea match fishing seems to be a bit stressful

fellas like him, why i love fishing, "You cant be rude when fishing... I,d rather not go" Brilliant. Salt of the Earth. Thats why he wins the matches, his attitude brings him luck.
👍
Thanks, and always nice to see a champion in action
Yeah
Great video. I remember, as a kid, watching Tony and Trevor Rooney on the Sea Match Fishing videos and reading about them in Sea Angler, thinking that I hoped I'd be that good at fishing as guys like that. Great anglers and definitely a part of my fishing memories.
Both are still fishing legends
A great insight to match fishing thanks for sharing, will be reading Tony's book over the next few days
Im working my way through it, very good read. 👍
@@SEAFISHINGwithCJ what book is that please
Another great video mate!! A proper legend Tony Kirage.
He is a geezer for sure
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year CJ .
Great video from a mark I used to fish a lot as a teenager , with some interesting banter with Tony .
Seasons greetings to you too. Thanks for watching.
Good old Tony,s Tackle...I use to head straight to his ad page in the sea angler to see what he had on offer...Tony is a legend....Period...Great to see you and Trevor in this great enjoyable video....Good look from the north east of the u.k...
Thanks, his shop is still going, he has a new rod out now, and still doing deals..
@@SEAFISHINGwithCJ Yes dude, I know Tony's tackle is still the, il have to pop in sometime when I'm on route down there, I also know that you cannot leave the shop without spending £20.00 Lol...
@@keith2599 £20???? Hes slipping, i usually leave with another rod.and or reel.
Great vid had the pleasure of meeting Tony in his shop what a gent in that short chat he taught me so much
You need to read his book.
Hi Tony. You are definitely an international top angler. In the 90ties when you fist came in Dunkirk for a big international shore angling match on an unknown peg you simply won it. Best regards from your best french fans and faithful friends. Laurence and Philippe.
I will make sure Tony sees this.
a great video ,, it brings back memmories of fishing the shakespear open along side alan yates ,who tony mentioned in the video
You should read his book.
Now that was a great watch cheers fella 🎣🎣👍
Thanks mate
Excellent video as usual ,happy turkey eating time and all the best for the 2022👍
Thanks mate.
Top man Tony. Both the zziplexes you see in my videos came from his shop - many years ago now. Still catching fish now.
Yeah iv still got 3 i bought from him years ago. Still catching.
Great video, going to apply some of this tips when I’m next fishing 😁
He is a top angler. I am producing a yt channel for Tony, check out Seafishing with Tony Kirrage, it will be full of top tips in time. ( be one of the first to subscribe).
Good bit off fishing and some fantastic tips well done 👏
Cheers mate, Tony has so much experience, i hope i did him credit
C j tony was saying that the bait stop runs up the snood line I have a tip what I do is tie a power gum book knot behind the stop it works quite well give it a try.
yep, or just power gum, no need for the stop
Happy Christmas CJ and a very interesting video thanks
Merry xmas mate, 😊
Great to see a true champion in action. Great window into match fishing, thank you Chris! Merry Xmas!
I learned a lot, not sure i want to fish a match though, too stressful...
@@SEAFISHINGwithCJ yes mate, that looked totally hectic. I learnt a lot too, especially the “hurry up and wait” letting the fish bite and get a triple on your rig.
Love the variety and quality of your content Chris - for a newbie I’m learning so much! 🙏🏻
@@SEAFISHINGwithCJ I fished a match last month and I was broken halfway through. Judging how long to let the baits sit before the crabs stripped the hook. I was casting every 10 minutes just to keep the hooks with something on. Unhooking fish and keeping them safe in bucket of water while I clipped a new rig on, casting out. Walking to the next angler to measure and get the score card signed by them. It was absolutely relentless and was glad when it was over, hardest 5 hours of fishing ever to finish close to the bottom. Would think relaxing fishing wouldn’t make you so tired and stiff the following day 😁
@@therodfather0498 yes looked like hard work
I love watching Tony. Such a knowledgeable guy and love watching him with Graham on TA fishing show. Any one know what happened to him?
I was talking to Graeme a couple of weeks ago so as far as im aware Graeme and totally awesome are still going strong
Nice video good tips 👏🐟🎄👍
Thanks, he can catch so he knows his stuff.
Nice one, best wishes, see you next time.
Seasons greetings.
Great video mate :)
Thanks.
As Tony still got is marlin head from Mauritius ?
Yep its up on the wall in the shop
@@SEAFISHINGwithCJ that's not bad I remember him catching it it was a male fish under 200 if I rember it correct. No bad for someone who not been in the UK. For over 20 year and your other buddy grame. Had few small ones aswell. All from the same hotel at black river
Great video! ....What lb braid and braid leader is Tony using?
Not sure, i will ask him..
@@SEAFISHINGwithCJ thanks
Tom kirrage. Very easy on ears .
Tony?
@@SEAFISHINGwithCJ Tony. But both as well . I remember having vhs with Tony match fishing and could listen to him all day .
Why catch more fish on nylon than braid?
Some people believe that, personally i prefer braid.
@@SEAFISHINGwithCJ why because it’s more visible? I’d of thought braid would be less visible due to its smaller diameter, and we not using it for hook lengths are we??? Oh well
Why use gutted worms ? I assumed the guts would add scent (I'm a beginner)
Non gutted worms ( known as freshouts) are very difficult to keep. . 10 worms would need to be kept in a tray of fresh seawater which would need regular changing Wheras 10 gutted worms can be wrapped in newspaper , where they stay alive for up to a week. But You are correct freshouts are best
If you tip with squid you will double your catch.
Im no match angling expert, but Tony is, and in a conversation on the beach that day, (not in the video) he says that that isnt true. However if that works for you, great. Im sure some days it works, just like on some days the fish will only take stinky bait, and some days it has to be fresh, its why i said in the video, have a selection of bait, so you can keep experimenting until you start catching. During that match Tony had some really fresh worms, but the best fish came to 3 day old worms. A lot is about having confidence in your bait.but be prepared to experiment.
had dealings with tony in the past, very good bloke, but going sea fishing in carpet slippers, not sure thats a good tip, and his casting is sooo bad now, ive used 30lb amnesia for years, im sure was 30lb as it was the only one on sale and saying his hooks are 2 kamasan when they look bigger than a 1/0, sea state is moderate and not rough, and i multi task, i talk to people while still fishing, and years ago in matches we all had buckets and we were going by weight, at the weigh in there was always one or two guys wanting to take any fish the anglers didnt want
That beach is Tony's living room, so slippers are what you wear in your living room surely?
Love Tony's tips but care of fish terrible infact worse I've seen, needs a bucket of sea water at least to put fish in whilst he sorts out his next rig n cast.
Im glad someone has commented on this. Thanks.
Tonys tackle no thanks bad both times.
Sorry to hear that
But the video isnt about the shop its about match angling.
