This video was really informative and have answered many of my questions.....very good presentation!!
@@gillsmolders2915 thanks for taking the time to comment, appreciate it buddy
Great blog Sir! Last time I went sea fishing for Mackerel was 60 years ago, now an old pensioner/carer for my wife, I come across blogs like yours! I had a dozen river/Loch rods and reels which I sold 3 years ago with all the flies! I only fished one or twice a year, so I sold them all bar one, which is an 11 feet heavy rod. I am eaten a lot of fish of late, Mackerel is one of my favourites! Sea bass and trout and wild Salmon when I can afford it! I am going to find time and purchase a bombarda float and give the shore fishing a try! Many thanks!
Many thanks Alan and tight lines Sir.
Really and informative and entertaining videos. First class!
It's great too zee someone fishing in the seas of Scotland and catching fish. Oh how I hope I can emulate yourself and catch something anything.
I gave been given a bombarder float and will be trying it out along my stretch of the Clyde..
Tight lines in the future fishing exploits. Looking forward to many more vids. Thanks for helping us realise there are fish out there to catch /and release. 🎣🎣🎣🚙💨💨🎣🎣
Tight lines to you all. 🎣🚙💨🎣🎣
Many thanks Charles much appreciated and thanks for watching 👍
Tried the bombard for the first time the other night. Didn't catch anything but it casts like a bullet and it's only a matter of time. Top vid, top content, top man. Tight lines bud.
Thanks for your comments mate, tight lines let me know how you get on👍
Excellent comprehensive video. Very well presented and everything clearly explained. Cracking catch too
Thanks Kev for commenting and feedback much appreciated👍tight lines
Love the vids. I'm new to fishing so was a bit 'wary' about what to do with fishing and the bombada, But was at Rhu point and asked a guy how to rig one, within a few seconds he was showing me how and giving me some kit of his, I only asked but he said it was the same for him so he just passed it on. If this is normal between anglers.. I'm in. Such companionship. 👍
Thanks for watching and commenting very much appreciated. Did you catch anything? Its good to hear that your early angling experience has been a positive one. I would say most anglers would help each other out especially to help people with less experience.
Another really good video with an excellent commentary. Very professional.
Many thanks Jo👍
Very clear explanation of the technique, thanks.
Cheers mate👍
Brilliant. Thank you. All the points covered.
Cheers John, much appreciated👍
Thanks for your info much appreciated 👍
Thanks for the video, you've explained the technique great, really helpful. You've influenced quite a few of us with this technique, I've now got my bombarda set up to give it a try. Just need to leave my Tobies etc out of my tackle back next time, so easy to rely on methods I've been used to! Thanks again.
Much appreciated Colin, tight lines and let me know how you get on.
Another great video explaining everything, thanks. Had 3 good fish yesterday using it. 3.5lb 2.5 and 1.5lb i use a fly rod but bombarda on windy days. I often wondered about the upside down debate so youv answered that one for me. I use it same as you anyway. Thanks for another great video mate.
Cheers buddy, I just notice that there was no reply to your comment mate. Sorry for the late reply. Thanks for the feedback and sounds like you’ve got the method sorted, always good to hear anglers approach of when you hey like to use it. Tight lines mate👍🎣
Very informative video thanks 👍
Cheers Alan👍
Thanks for a great video, very well explained.
Very much appreciated Ryan👍
thanx...
i found the "inno" bormbardas from danmark quiet comfortable to fish..
Great video, sent for some of these, set them up and first cast from the beach, a 3lb bass! Great videos and I have watched your Kayak ones too. Just got my first Kayak and setting it up like yours. Keep up the great work!
Excellent mate, glad you enjoy the content, tight lines
Glasgow Angling Centre also stock the Abu Bombarda and the Yuki brand also next to the power bait within the store.
Wicked show
Loved the info caught my first sea trout in the sea 2 days ago using a toby mackerel patern
3 pounds fish was awsome
Going to try your trick next
Totally hooked
👍👍👍😜🏴🦕🦄😁🤞✌️
Great comment and thanks for awesome feedback🙌🙌
Great info thanks 👍
No problem👍
Right thats it just been and bought a few of these to go give it a try quite an interesting way of fishing and might also open up some fishing on my door step that i had not thought about using this style.
Let me know how you get on mate
@@PiscatorUK-Fishing i shall do one question before i do please if you would not mind answering , i could not get the Abu ones so just grabbed the Ron Thompson ones for time being, I noticed mine has a Short clear piping section about 8/9 cm long at the bottom covering the mono to swivel as they are pre rigged whats the difference i see yours are just flush to the swivel at the bottom. cheers bud.
@@marcocapozzella hi Marco, yes some manufacturers supply a short piece of plastic tube. I’ve used both types, some anglers prefer to use the bombarda with it as it can helps with fly turnover, helpful if your flies are small and light or you really want to punch it out at distance. I don’t have any issues not using it but give it a bash both ways to make your own mind up.
@@PiscatorUK-Fishing Nice one i thought it might be something to do with maybe keeping them inline a bit more so all good thanks again.
Right first outing went not to bad, I tried the pre rigged one with basically the set up you described first, which after a little while I ended up removing all those extras we spoke of which I found worked better for me. Fishing well had a bump in the first hour but nowt connected then managed 3 Mackie's a wee while later, I tied some flies up last night so it's good to see those worked as well as they did, all just bait fish patterns really, so yeah great first try it was bloody bright today though and the boats where ferrying passengers from the big ferry out in the forth so water was a bit churned up so didn't expect to get anything but just before high tide seemed to be the time for me. I will just keep plugging away with this need to find a few more marks to go try though. Thanks again for all your help.
Works very well for golden greys on the beaches down Deep South. We envy your sea trout numbers
Great video! You did not leave a stone unturned.
Thank mate much appreciated, tight lines buddy🎣👍
I once caught loads of garfish by popping the float like you would a surface lure for bas i think the pp of the float caught their attention and made them hit the sand eel jelly lure .... any way enough of my blather nice video mate cheers I will be using these soon and you explained a lot 👌
Much appreciated buddy. Tight lines
Great Video Piscator 👍🏻
Cheers mate, I literally just seen the video you did at Kilcreggan👍
@@PiscatorUK-Fishing Thanks Piscator, appreciate it, and keep up the great content,

This is clear indication metric is superior. I can’t comprehend this video, because it have to convert every single unit he says.
Love your videos mate , 👍
Thanks for watching Ed👍
@PiscatorUK-Fishing yep enjoying them mate and learning from them as just started fishing the estuary and stuff,, only 1 fish to date on the fly so was well chuffed bud , every day is a school day so I will keep watching yiur videos m8👍
Thanks for the support Ed, well done for the fish on the fly👍🎣💪🏻
have you tried the "thomas hansen" method mate speed spinning? it involves using a fixed bombarda crimped with fluro, it stops the bombarda coming back up the main line and has a great fly turn over and balance when spinning a full pelt with them, another good tip is to rub the floats with a brillo pad it gets the glare off the floats and they blend a bit better on those sunny days, anywhom i digress mate tip top video as always!! 👍👍👍👍
Cheers buddy, not heard of the Thomas Hansen method mate, I will check it out tho. Another subscriber mentioned about taking the shine of the float I think you both have a point as when it’s sunny as it can refract light, like most crystal floats. Thanks for your feedback mate much appreciated as always👍
@@PiscatorUK-Fishing i just looked threw old comments i think it was me said to you before mate lol 😂 do you ever try the shrimp patterns? when i use them on a dropper with lures they go mad for them somedays, pattegriesen and the australian tan shrimp are both worth a gander mate, thanks for writing back mate 👍👍
@@whitetroutchannel no problem mate, lol I get so many comments it’s hard to keep track sometimes. I tend only to use shrimp patterns when fishing over cleaner sandy ground as I normally draw and pause fishing close to the bottom. I’ll check the shrimp patterns out tho👍
@@PiscatorUK-Fishing with the amount of subs you have mate id guess you need a personal assistant to keep track!! lol 😂😂
Top man sir
Thanks Stephen 👍
Good video mate. I had a couple of the old small wooden jointed repala plugs (that weigh hardly anything) I revamped them by touching up the paintwork and epoxying them with some glitter. They look brilliant, but so light I can't cast them, other than maybe trolling them behind the kayak. I wondered if they might work with the bombarda set up? Obviously the treble hooks would probably get tangled in the leader when casting so maybe if they had 2 single hooks it might work? Cheers
Hi Alex, thanks for your comments mate. I’ve not tried the bombarda with hard lures but you never know. As long as they fly through the air ok and don’t cause to much drag on the cast it might work even with a shorter cast. 100% agree about removing the treble hooks tho.
@@PiscatorUK-Fishing I give it a test and let you know how it goes 👍
Is the bombarder mostly for casting light lures to add distance.
@stephenmcgovern8749 hi Stephen, I only use the bombarda for light lures which does help to cast at distance. I have used it for fishing a light bait also, which I showed in one of my other videos. Killer tactics for sea trout.
@@PiscatorUK-Fishing Hi, what's that video called where you use a bait with the bombarder please? I don't remember seeing that one. Cheers
min 21 - have you tried tapered leaders that fly fisherman use? Would aid turnover Bro.
Great video....very informative.
What would the sink-rate be on those 25g sinking bombardas??
Cheers buddy, they don’t sink too fast probably 1 foot per second
if you fill a bubble float properly it will sink slowly and you can count it down
Good video as per mate. Just noticed your boots. As I am about to buy a new pair would you recommend them? What make are they please?
Cheers Brian, I’ve had these neoprene boots for 3 season’s now and have worn them for winter sessions too. There is a name on the side of the boot, just has hardware on the label. I got them from my local tackle shop in Helensburgh 01436 675044 think they were £25 which I think were good value mate.
Great video mate, can I ask have you used the sinking bombarda while trolling on a boat? Cheers Paul
Cheers mate, I’ve used it for trolling on a the kayak, I used a much smaller sinking bombarda though. It worked well and did a video using it but I used frozen sand eel for bait because there was no need to cast.
@@PiscatorUK-Fishing Hello again, I have used these exact Sandeel flies on my small boat. In about 8ft of water, no deeper because the Sandeel fly was on the surface (hence the question about the bombarda taking the fly deeper) I troll with a fly rod and fly reel, let virtually all the line out the back 😀 I have had some great sport with bass on a fly rod 👍
Hi great video I have been experimenting with a floating bombada my rod is 8ft I use 100mm Sp's on a 5 to 8ft fc snood
My braid is 8strand
The problem I have is on the cast the Sp just helicopters and gets tangled do you think a type of hook clip will help cure this problem
Also I've never used flies so what color/type will work at sea
@@garyallen8 Hi Gary, thanks for commenting. I take it SP is a soft plastic? Your soft plastic needs to be streamlined like a red gill which works well. I keep the terminal tackle to an absolute minimum using one swivel and a non-slip loop knot to my lure or fly. When it comes to flies most small baitfish patterns will work as well as shrimp patterns. I have had great success with sand eel flies see link below
www.farlows.co.uk/saltwater-bass-sand-eel-eezee-blue-size-6.html
Or Tickers Tackle in Helensburgh does a great selection of sea trout flies.
Do you need a bead above the bombarda so the depth of the rig is fixed or do you just allow it to move above the swivel leading to the fly ??? thanks in advance
Hi Mark, thanks for commenting. I never restrict the movement of the bombarda, personally I don’t think it makes a difference.
do you use floating, intermediate or sinking bombarda's please? forgive me but is it a fly or bait or what dictates what you use? I recall you saying a 4/5ft hook length as well?
I explain everything on the video👍
Hey great video! Do you tend to use the fast sinking or slow sinking bombardas for lochs and the sea? I guess there is a place for both but which would you recommend for getting started?
Cheers, I mainly use the all clear sinking bombarda 20-25gram. I think there is only 3 types. Floating, intermediate and sinking. The all clear bombarda regardless of manufacturer will be a sinking bombarda. Thanks for watching👍
@@PiscatorUK-Fishing does anyone have a link for an online supplier in the UK or EU? I am struggling to find them.
@@johnmaskell5124 www.ebay.co.uk/itm/185182790746
Great video mate.whats the distance from your float to the lure? Tnks
Hi Keith, I use a leader 8-9ft long
@@PiscatorUK-Fishing thanks for reply mate. Actually towards end of your video you mentioned that. Great videos mate.bew subscriber from Ireland 👍
Thanks for watching and for the sub, much appreciated👍
How many lb braid n lure bombardo weight pls
Anyone know a good place for these sand eel patterns? Had a look online quickly but couldn’t see anything similar.
Never even heard of the clip on the reel used like that. I slowly break it with a finger to land where i want it
Fantastic 👍
If you get the time I have a question.
I live on Anglesey on the coast catch probably 100s of bass and pollack a year in all weathers and times on all manner of lures and baits including Tobys and the redgill type you mentioned but never touched a sea trout.
I've caught lots in rivers but I really want one from the sea.
By visual assessment I'd say there are more sea trout where I fish than anything else.
Do you think they are just not feeding or would I see some results with this bombarder and fly method, I've already ordered some to try anyway.
And if possible could you recommend a metal lure for when I fail with the fly haha. 👍
Hi Daz and thanks for watching and commenting. The bombarda is not the be all and end all but I love fishing it. They do catch fish without a doubt could be just the different action and or speed of retrieve but it works. A great metal lure is Solv Piil by Abu Garcia this can work when all else fails including the bombarda.

@@PiscatorUK-Fishing Thanks very much for your time, will get some of those too.
I'm determined to get one this year, I saw first one of the year come out on it's tail at the weekend that's what got me back on the subject.
I don't normally ask youtube anglers for advice but you are clearly the "reel" deal, and I'll go through all you vids now haha.
best wishes 🎣👍
@@dazlee3257 thanks so much buddy that really means a lot appreciate your support Daz
Hi
Is the bombada free running up the leader to Fg
And from ur Swivel you have 8/9ft snood I would find that very hard to cast as my lure rod is only 8ft how do you stop the hook from snagging
Hi Gary, thanks for the questions mate. Yes the bombarda is free running between the swivel and FG leader knot. just fish with a hook length your comfortable casting (max length) you don’t need to cast a long way, but you’ll be surprised how far it does cast without much effort. As for the hook snagging it’s just a bit of trial and error on the venue. If your getting snagged too much then just count down your sink rate once it hits the water and adjust your retrieve accordingly. If your fishing in a really shallow snaggy area then just raise your rod tip a bit as your bombarda approaches the shore.
Re Snagging
I mean the drop from rod tip
@@gary9726 I usually wear at least wellies mate so I have some water behind me. I just be careful on the back cast even if the lure is on the deck on gravel. I don’t think I’ve been in a position where my backcast has been affected so haven’t had the need to comment about it. It’s a fair question mate👍
What rod is that you use please ? and thanks for the video
Hi Alastair, the rod is a Rovex Captive
Hi Douglas where on the Clyde is the best place to fish for bass?
Hi John, Rhu is where I fish most of the time but I’ve heard Cardross and Gourock can be good never tried there myself.
Can u explain rig n rod set up pls n line n lure n braid pls
Hi mate, I go through the setup at the end of the video
Thanks for explaining the set up. Which brand of flourocarbon do you use?
Hi Fergal, I don’t usually stick to the same brand of fluorocarbon but I tend to use drop shot fluoro by fox rage for my rubbing leaders as it’s a bit cheaper. I recently used Scierra fluoro for my hook lengths/leader to fly which I liked, it has great abrasion resistance.
@@PiscatorUK-Fishing thanks for the info, tight lines
Just had my first try with a bombarda, without luck, using an intermediate sinking one using 2 fly type lures, one on a dropper as a "teaser". I noticed using a fast retrieve close to the shore helped avoid getting snagged on weed as the bombarda came to the surface, although I eventually lost the dropper fly, maybe from a mussel shell. Is there any merit to using a bombarda with a metal lure with teaser fly to avoid snagging close in? I'm thinking it might help by if the lure snags higher on the weed rather than the stronger parts near the root. Is braid better for distance casting compared to nylon monofilament of the same breaking strain? Also, you were wearing wellies rather than waders. The estuary near me is gently sloping so I really need to be stood out some way in the water to cast past particularly weedy parts. Would you recommend thigh or chest waders as I'm thinking the chest waders would be more restrictive to movement and therefore tiring?
Thanks for the question’s Michael and for sharing your adventures with the bombarda. I must admit I’ve never used a bombarda with metal lures. I would just use lures on their own but I sometimes use a small teaser with them. In my opinion definitely get better distance with braid over mono. I don’t have thigh waders, I would much rather have chest waders sometimes it’s necessary to wade beyond the weed line plus I use them for other types of fishing.
@@PiscatorUK-Fishing thanks for the reply. Before going on my trip I was looking at different videos on the technique, including yours, and I thought I had seen one using a bombarda with metal lures but couldn't find it again. Since I made my comment I've remembered he prefered very small lures of 4 grams or so and used the bombarda for extra casting weight rather than to bring the lure closer to the surface. Thanks for the advice and I hope to give it another go very soon. I think I'll get chest waders first.

High mate see the cut off with car cumming from helensburgh to the narrows are they a postcode or the we road called please where you fish at light house

Any Bass about? Not many showing yet down Port William area.
Is it ok to use a 50 g bombardo floater pls
Tnks
Pompeii
You can use any size your comfortable with, mate. I just prefer the 20-25gram, it’s enough to cast a long way and not too big for casting short. You’ll still catch fish with 50gram bombarda
What size of swivels & rubber beads ?
Size 6 swivels and 5mm rubber beads
Is 50 g ok to cast n use pls

Is it a carp rod
No mate, this rod was a surf rod, that’s why it is a bit on the heavy side.
Hi do you require a permit to catch sea trout in Clyde Estuary
Hi John, you do on the Helensburgh side. Not sure about the Greenock side. Tickets from Tickers tackle Helensburgh
@@PiscatorUK-Fishing thanks for the prompt response
@@PiscatorUK-Fishing be sure , tell people , LLAIA or local outlets like Tickers ( thanks ) dont let your footage promote a social media free for all to take these migratory fish , be sure , be a responsible angler and be sure, Rhu was a joke last weekend !
Have you had any luck in the holly loch
Hi Allan, it’s somewhere I’ve not tried.
This is a controller float bolt rig designed for surface carp fishing,it has self hooking qualities due to its weight as the fish takes it turns its head,straightens the line and sinks the hook against the mass of the float.
I reckon these would be great for mullet. I’ve had carp to 32lb using them.
* Obviously I’m talking about the floating version.
Thanks for sharing your knowledge, I knew these floats were used for carp but didn’t know how the reasoning behind it. You’re explanation makes sense as I am a course angler too, good idea for the mullet as they are buggers to catch👍
@@PiscatorUK-Fishing Yes I’m inspired by you to give this a go for the mullet,I’m subbed,great videos 👏👍
Hi, in relation to the sinking Bombarda that you use, which weight / length do you prefer ?
I prefer the 20gram as an all rounder. The only bombardas that seem to have a long stem are the branded ones which I normally cut about 3-4cm off just so it fits in my pocket otherwise I would fish it as they are out the packet.
