Really great to know that you only take what you need, and that the fish are returned straight away without causing them too much stress. Stay safe and tight lines. Mike.
All the way to the Skerries for plaice? I have fished the Salcombe Estuary both from boat and shore and had many a good plaice. Biggest just under 5IB in front of the town and 2.5IB off the beach at East Portlemouth. Explore the Estuary there are some big plaice in there.
Probably someone did mention it already on your channel but please, safety first! I always wear my life jacket on my boat even if am not on my own and to be honest I feel strange if I not wearing it! I believe you did powerboat course so they definitely mentioned about it 100 times during the course. Tight lines 👍 ps. never use BBC weather before you gobout haha! There is plenty amazing apps such as XC Weather and similar...
Thanks bud, I like to blame the BBC but I do use a range of forecasts and in a previous career, I also used to teach meteorology so I should know better🤣 Tight lines 🎣🎣
Hi, great video, glad to have found your channel. I'd like to ask a question about the start of your video when you turned back into a sheltered bay and not followed the birds. Why did you make the decision to turn back? Was it due to the size of the waves or wind or because you needed to anchor up for plaice? The waves didn't look so bad to me from the video. Do warrior boats not handle waves so well? Looking to buy my first boat soon 🙂
They say the camera never lies but it does make a good job of making a rough look calmer than it is! For their size, Warriors are very good at handling the sea but there were two issues on that day that made me turn around. The first was that I wanted to plaice fish and that needs relatively calm weather to detect the bites. There was a metre of breaking waves so fishing would have been impossible and definitely not fun. The second reason was to get there I had to cross the tide race which had waves from all directions up to a metre and a half which the boat would handle if you had to cross it but as it was unfishable at the other side it wasn’t worth going through it. Thanks for watching ! 🎣🎣🎣
Thanks mate! The multiplier is Penn Fathom 15 2-speed lever drag loaded with 30lb spider wire braid. It’s a cracking reel and works well for my area on a 12-20lb class rod 🎣🎣
Excellent vids you have the perfect demeanour for these trips no shouting and whooping when you score a fish or two, keep em coming.
Thanks John, appreciate the feedback and thanks for watching! Tight lines 🎣🎣🎣

Thanks Mike, I do think that respect for the fish is essential, whether it is to be released or kept for the pot. Tight lines 🎣🎣

That’s great fish you’ve pulled out! Big plaice have eluded me, still not found one to top 3lb! 🎣🎣
Nice Pollack that went back, great simple fishing, videos are great mate 👌👍
Thanks bud👍 Yes, I like to keep it simple - less tackle, more fun, hopefully! Tight lines 🎣🎣

@@fishingsalcombe Meteorologist???? Wow!!!!!
Really pleased I found your channel. Very enjoyable. Well done
Thank you Tomos, glad you like the channel! 🎣🎣
Another nice video mate. Looks a lovely mooring you have and far easier for quick trips than launching
Thanks mate. The mooring is tidal but definitely easier than trailer launching! Tight lines 🎣🎣
