    I watched you fishing that spot, that day Chris - I’d driven down after work in North Berwick to lure fish fir a few hours from a spot under the lighthouse, and bumped into Jarrow Viking/ Dave. Had a chat with him and he mentioned that you were out. It was a tricky, windy day huh? Loved the mackerel sport - I love catching them; great fun!

    • @onthedropfishing
      @onthedropfishing  2 года назад +1

      Ah yes I motored over and had a chat with Dave, he’s a lovely bloke. It got a bit frisky towards the end there. A tough but fun day. I’ll be back for round two soon! 👍🎣

    • @garyweston5116
      @garyweston5116 2 года назад +1

      Yes; agreed - he’s a gent. He has taken time to explain things to me several times now, as I’m a relative newcomer to lure sea fishing. Nathan / Slippy Limpets also has been really giving of his experience and support - great lads and very knowledgable, helpful and gracious.
      I’m on the rocks there often or out on my yak ( newbie to it too last October) so let me know if you head up; I’d love a paddle and a lure session with someone so experienced, positive and fun.

    Hi mate, long time listener first time caller 😬🤣 mate just a couple of easy ones for you from a fellow northerner who’s sapped the rocks for a kayak (galaxy wahoo) … 1 - where did you get your battery (the one with blue tooth) 2 - what’s the max conditions you venture out in wind and wave height 3 - what weather app do you use.
    Hope you’ll help
    Mick

    • @onthedropfishing
      @onthedropfishing  2 года назад

      Hi Mick,
      1 It’s an Ultramax Bluetooth LiFePO4 100ah battery, they have an eBay shop and a website. They’re cameraexperts1 on eBay.
      2 it’s not that simple really it depends which way the tide is running compared to the wind, how long from which direction etc etc but rule of thumb nothing over 10mph with a surf height of 2ft or less.
      3 Windy, by far the best and the premium version is super super accurate…most of the time.
      Hope that helps! 👍🎣

    Another great video thanks Chris but isn't it strange how we "proper fishermen" hate fishing for mackerel ? Pound for pound they're probably the best fighting fish we get in the north Sea I think maybe our egos get in the way and if you don't have to be cunning and work hard to catch a fish then it's not fishing its catching I'll be going fishing for mackerel at least once this week with a friend who's just took up fishing I hate mackerel fishing (but secretly love it)
