Coastal Exploration UK | Push Netting at Hampton Pier, Herne Bay, Kent

- This is a change to my normal sea fishing videos and instead I go push netting at Hampton to explore what other creatures are living in our seas.
The push net is a great way to find out what species are breeding in the area and what food larger fish are feeding on.
What you find on the sea bed changes from month to month and from beach to beach so its good to net different areas to get a general picture.
This push netting session was probably the worst I have even done and I was shocked with how little I found. Perhaps the recent sewage dumping around the Kent coast has had a detrimental affect on the marine life but I really just hope it was a poor tide and conditions.
I hope you enjoy the video and please like and subscribe to the channel for more videos like this in the future.

Thanks for the videos, I am currently laid up with Covid, so a very welcome diversion. I use a push net at Littlestone near Dungeness, and it is fascinating. Apart from a real haul of common shrimp, I have released 40 or 50 little slip sole in a session, swimming crabs that try eat you and even a few perfect little baby Thornbacks maybe ten inches across. It is like fish soup!
That is my next venue for a push net. If you get a good session it's so interesting and some of the things you can net is astounding. Thanks for watching 👍
@Christopher Glass That sound amazing Christopher, what month of the year was the fish souper as we like take our kid down for a session. Thanks in advance
Interesting video this is something I fancy doing with my daughter this year in North Wales any tips where to buy and what kind of net you need
I vaguely remember getting mine online. I think if you search for a traditional push net some will come up. It's great fun and believe me it won't get any worse than this session 🤦♂️😂
Ive been looking at buying a push net but the ones ive seen dont look as good as yours. Any chance you can remembering where you bought it from? Thanks 😊
I think it was an ebay purchase but a long time ago.
Nice try Greg, hopefully better luck next, interesting concept though. 👍
The next one will show the potential of push netting 🤦♂️🤞😂
Can you tell me if you made that push net for shrimps?
All good 👍 probably in America game warden; nice catch, did you drive or take the bus. You; Oh I drive my car. Game Warden oh did you know is a crime and we get to keep all things used in that crime? You; will no is not in the book and you mean my new truck? Game Warden; Yep I been looking at that one for some.This is not representation of real Game Wardens O crap box jelly's
🤣
I just picked up my first push net from Hastings angling centre today. Going to broom hill (camber) tomorrow. If I get those small shrimp you found are they edible to cook up!? Apologies for the total newbie question!
Those Shrimp are edible but I would be cautious about the sewage release around the UK. If there is any of that in your area then I wouldn't touch them👍
Good video 🙂 Just a note to anyone having a try, be careful of Weaver fish. I got stung on the wrist by one, it swelled up like a baloon and felt like it was on fire 😮😮
It's a good point that I was planning to make as I normally get a couple at least 👍 I hope it went back to normal after ziggy
@@gsp Glad you didn't get stung. Took a few hours to stop hurting. I know now that I should have put hot water on it. Cheers 🙂
Brown shrimps are good to eat , couple of mins in salted boiling water then hold head and tail and bite the middle bit , shell on don't try to peel them .
I would take them normally but not with the amount of sewage going into the sea around Kent at the mo🤮🤪
Plenty of good spots not far from there Greg like the video 👍
Yeah I'm gonna slowly go round them all when I get a moment
Have you tried the brown shrimp as bait? Maybe live below a float.
Yes they are not as effective as live prawn. I would definitely use prawn instead of shrimp
I know you said it wasn't very productive, but I found that really interesting, then found myself straight on eBay looking for one🤣🤣👍👍🙏
😂😂😂😂 They are really good fun! You'll end up with baby turbot, cuttlefish the lot! It's amazing what you get in a push net👍
Quite fascinating! I just this year started shrimping in local rock pools - very little sand here. Had some great but hard-won results. Getting to know the best type of pools and overhangs where the shrimps inhabit. Not as common as I hoped but okay once you suss them out. Looking forward to some great live shrimp fishing this Summer!
Cheers Kerry👍👍. Shrimping in rock pools is a whole different game! That's is hard work but like you said once you suss it out it can be rewarding 👍
Gees bro cant catch with the rod so you go shrimpin :))))))
😂😂 Times are hard! 😂🤦♂️
The guy by the rockd will be netting a couple of prawns from under the rocks, I push netted where you are in august last year and had hundreds of tiny what looked like soles and someother flattie species, and I mean hundreds! it was incredible. perhaps May is too early?
I've had small fish and loads of shrimp in May before on the North Kent coast, admittedly not here. It has got alot worse in the last year which seems to coincide with the sewage leaks🤔🤔
My how times have changed, back in the mid to late 1950s I used to live in Herne Bay and used to push net regularly. You'd get masses of shrimp, one or two passes in 2ft 6ins of water was all that was needed for a really good meal for the family, they're delicious and you only have to remove the head before eating them. There were two commercial push netters who regularly fished the Bay they made a living out of selling them, and other sea food. Those rocks at the end of the pier also held large stocks of big edible brown crabs and there were plenty of varieties of flat fish to be caught from a dinghy just off shore. By the way those limpets do make good eating as do the other type.
Wow! Well I'd think you'd struggle to make a living today around that area. To be honest I've never had such a poor push netting session and I doubt very much that you'll find any decent edibles in those rocks now. It's sad to see how much damage has been caused by pollution, over fishing etc.
I might have to give the limpets a taste test😂
Good video, It's normally quite good in end of September / October for the common prawns, we did it on the other side.
I will be doing more of it this year so hopefully I'll get time in Sept to get out and explore 🤞 thanks for watching
Maybe the lack of fish food explains why I’ve never caught much off Hampton Pier.
That Could be a good explanation. It's the worst push netting session I've ever done. Funnily enough I've never had or even heard of alot coming out of Hampton 🤦♂️😂
By 'eck, really enjoyed watching that Greg, something different.
Cheers John. Anything to do with sea creatures and I'm in my element 😁
If you go back to 8.30, I'm sure I could see a bass swim right past your net
🤔 Hmmmm I'm not sure about that but it would surprise me if the fish aren't having a laugh at my expense 😂😂😂
I live along the coast at Dymchurch and keep meaning to run the push net along see if any bait about, nice an flat. Shame the session was poor. 👍
That was the poorest push netting session I've ever had! I've never seen so little🤔
@@gsp as you mentioned sewage possibly, has been loads lately.
Try seasalter or dungeness lifeboat station.they used to be good for shrimps and baby dabs and soles .
I'm going to try and go around as many beaches as I can to see what's about. I know minnis Bay has alot of life as does the Isle of sheppy. It'll be interesting to see what different species are about👍
Those slipper limpets make fantastic bass and bream baits load up a hook fire it out and the bass find them quickly 👌 they are a great bait from bream on a boat as well tip off the hook with a winkle or 2 to help keep them on they are small and soft like fishing with muscles but make a decent bait ! Best to find and use them after a storm has put a wreck of them up on the beach
Cheers Kevin I will definitely be giving them a try and will definitely be tasting them to as they are apparently delicious 🤔😂
@@gsp I havent heard that mate but after a good storm they were just good bait for a day or so after
Another great little video Greg. I fished Just along from you at Grenham Bay the other night & only had 1 Hound, but the weed there was horrendous already.
Cheers David👍👍. I might venture along that way this week although the enthusiasm is entirely there🤦♂️😂. We'll done on the smoothie
@@gsp if going mate a low tide going into darkness did it for me
Loved what you did with the camera work putting it on the poll 👍🎣
Cheers Chris I appreciate it 👍
Those shrimp would be great bass bait mate
I find brown shrimp don't work as well as live prawns but I'm sure the big ones would get takers
Do you not eat the brown shrimp they’re lovely!
Yeah I do when I specifically go to collect them although after the sewage spills recently I'm a little bit wary
@@gsp yes good point, they are so expensive now and you rarely see them in the fishmongers
Herne Bay never very good 👍 😕
No it's not the best but normally better than this session. It was really poor
great video 👍👍👍🐟🐟🐟
Cheers Graham 👍
