I fished at Lunan bay Beach yesterday I had a great day catching flounders . I'm back in Arbroath in March this year I'm going to fish Elliot beach and lunan beach keep posting your videos they are good to watch thank you for putting them on here
Hey Michael well done on sticking it out that long, at least there was "silver" at the end of the rainbow. Once the waves come over the wall safety is priority.... Thanks again for another good video 👍
Thanks Scott a bit longer than i would normally do but sometimes you get this nagging if i just hang on for a little bit longer. Yeh when the wind and waves pick up like that it's time to get out of there, had one car damaged there already with the water ain't going to happen again lesson learned.
@@scottdrummond2886 At that time you were able to park alongside the cages. I had volvo estate at the time , i was in the cage 3 a big wave came over the wall i grabbed my rods held onto cage when wave went over thought good still got gear. When i looked down at car back door was open and my gear was floating out the back. Could not get car dried out it always steamed up after that had to get rid of car.
@@michaelbird3226 yep definitely do. Just back in the game after 30 years away from it. I 've found the bug again. Love it . Doing a lot of LFR at the moment. Couldn't believe the difference in the tackle so different.
@@christimms102 Yeh things never stay the same for long. I tried that lrf fishing about a couple of years ago at a local harbour was amazed at the variety of fish i caught . Will have to do it again during the summer and get it on video.
Yep that would be great Michael. Must get back in to the beach casting too. Loads of venues in Fife but going to broaden my horizons further afield. So great tips on your vids . Cheers Chris
@@christimms102 That's one thing about Fife it does have plenty of beaches. I must admit Burntisland in a big tide can be fun, the speed the water covers that beach is unreal lol.
Great vid as usual Michael , I regularly fish anstruther and cellardyke although I haven’t made it out in around 6 weeks or so, I am planning on wetting a line this week before work starts back Have you heard of much action around ainster ? Cheers, Daryl
You might not have caught much Michael but you still caught a nice bass again well done on that and also a good effort putting in 12+ hours of fishing in them conditions another good video Michael and like you say there is always next time tight lines
Michael, I am newly retired and fairly new to sea fishing and watching your videos always inspires me. I was fishing Stonehaven harbour through the night and was using a single pennel pulley rig. When I struck on a big bite, I immediately got snagged and lost my tackle. I use an impact led with the wires but more often than not, I always get snagged. In your videos, you seem to use a Paternoster rig, is this a flapper rig? I am totally lost as to what method to use and how to use it and beginning to lose heart, any help would be greatly appreciated.
If you watch my videos you may note that when rough gfround fishing i use both 1 hook pulley rig and also a 2 hook paternoster. The paternoster and flapper rig are very similar i do get caught out with the 2 hook rig because when you have a fish on one hook the other hook will act like an anchor. My way of beating that is to keep the bottom hook about 8 inch away from weight especially when there is stoney ground like in patches around Stonehaven.
good vid mate i know you dont use it much but i have had great catches of flatties of elliot beach on frozen black lug bought from the shop in arbroath it out fished all the other baits most of the time maybe you should gie it a bash sometime(:
@@michaelbird3226 i guess its just your donald duck we all have our favourite baits but if the fish are there and hungry they will eat anything lol being at the right place at the right time is what counts i think thanks for replying mate
Lovely bass Michael and yet another cracking video. Are you doing a Xmas special? Thinking along the lines of you dressed as Santa or even an Elf 🙈. Thanks for the info on the rods by the way am searching everywhere.
Funny enough i was thinking of doing a sesh in a santa suit lol. Glad you enjoyed the video. The rods i did say they are not easy to come by enjoy the hunt.
As you know Michael, "ratings" actually mean diddly it's the action that makes the rod 😄 will keep trawling the various forums and selling sites though. Have a great Christmas, keep safe and keep the vids coming in the new year.
Thank you Sean glad you enjoy them, aye caught bass no 3 to think i have only ever caught 1 in all my years fishing previous to this past couple of weeks.
I haven't had anything big from vicky Park 3lbs probz the biggest but my mates had some up to 5 and lost bigger. You get more bites and can chase the tide out at vicky as well
@@seanmichaelmcparlandfishing You would think there would be bigger they have to pas there to get to the harbour and cliffs, Persistence will probably get a good one from there.
Good on you , first rule of video work when fishing keep an eye on the wind. Try to make sure cam is pointing away from wind or you will get the same effect i have on part of this video. It can make videos unbearable for people to watch.

Glad to hear you got a few flounders. i fished Lunan bay a few days ago only managed 1 flounder, hopefully better result next time.
Another good video mate , heading down to Port Patrick today in search of Dabs and Whiting
Thank you Robert. Hope you managed to get a few dabs and tings.

What happened to your car there? I park there often when chasing a fish?

Oh god what a nightmare losing gear lol at least you lived to tell the tale. Which bait did you get the bass on? Can't wait for your next video.
@@scottdrummond2886 I survived that's the main thing. The bass was caught on mackie.
Another brilliant video Michael.
Good stuff keep it going.
Thank you glad you enjoy them.

Keep up the great work Michael, at least you’re out there having a go, merry Christmas.
Thank you Gary, a merry christmas to you and yours.

Not hearing of much getting caught around Ainster most fish at the moment cod are being caught around Arbroath area.
You might not have caught much Michael but you still caught a nice bass again well done on that and also a good effort putting in 12+ hours of fishing in them conditions another good video Michael and like you say there is always next time tight lines
Thank you John, if you want to get the fish you got to keep at it and have the patience of a saint lol.
Are you ok mate haven’t seen any of your videos lately hopefully you’re okay 👍
Yeh had a few problems with health, will get back to the fishing soon, .
@@michaelbird3226 well done mate you keep going and best of British mate 👍
nice going again Mike... cracking Bass.

I actually used it last time out and caught my big turbot on it. I don't have much faith in it but it can bring a surprise at times.

Lovely Sea bass.keep at it Mr M

Nice work and good fish
Thank you Droneboy.

Phil B if it’s the sonik rods ur after hookz online in Torquay have them in stock👍🏻
Cheers t l b but it's the suverans Michael uses as they appear light enough with vg bite detection but enough power to throw 5ozs
Funny enough i was thinking of doing a sesh in a santa suit lol. Glad you enjoyed the video. The rods i did say they are not easy to come by enjoy the hunt.
@@philb1231 The suverans are actually rated 4 to 8oz .

Another gd video mate well done on another nice bass
Thank you Sean glad you enjoy them, aye caught bass no 3 to think i have only ever caught 1 in all my years fishing previous to this past couple of weeks.
I have never caught one but I have never tried either. Do u every try vicky Park for the cod it's much better than the harbour
@@seanmichaelmcparlandfishing I was thinking about that when i was at the cages , i've heard of decent fish coming from Vicky.

Another bass. You jammy git. Love the way you show it warts and all.
Getting good at bass lol get them without trying. What you see it what you get i'm the same in real life as they say.
Another good vid mike and another jammy bass, but to be fair you do put the time and effort into catching them. Atb fred
Thank you Fred, a lot of my videos you maybe see 20 minutes or so my ave sesh is around 8 hours.
Nice one for trying Michael Nice Bass
Thank you Kieth, not one of my most productive days.
great vid Michael
Thank you Stephen.
Am going out tomorrow to see want i can pick up going with mackerel squid and prawns
Tight lines, bluey might be an idea too.
Great film bud
Thank you Colin glad you enjoyed it.
may go and get same for the next time and i may do my first video to
