- Can a boat Angler turn their hand to fishing from the shore ?
Today we invited Mark from Manic fishing to fish with us. He is a competent and vastly experienced Boat Angler BUT i was intrigued to find out if he could adapt those skills to the beach.
Join us as we enjoy some relaxed fishing in February 2025 from the Shingle Beach in Hastings.
IT was a strange turn of events where mark introduces both a Boat Rod and rigs that can out perform what we have to offer on the Beach.
Quite extraordinary to see that boat rod give a better bite indication than my continental shore rods!
There are lots of ways you can interact with the channel but why not subscribe - we don't normally ask but at the moment there only 20% of viewers that subscribe to these videos. Subscribing and pressing the bell icon allows you to get weekly catch reports and keep abreast of whats happening.
A real learning experience for me as i was expecting to give some guidence but ended up learning so much more- I hope you can pick up on some of this too.
Mark has his own channel @ManicFishing and he will be uploading his point of view of todays video.
It looks like there are a few dab around if you are fishing this weekend too. The rougher weather has brought in dogfish in greater numbers as well.
Brilliant video as usual
Thanks for watching
A very interesting idea, like it.
Especially the different equipment used, looking forward to the next 2 episodes
Thanks yea , think we can all learn from each type of angler
Great upload thanks Matt! Good to see plenty of Dabs coming out. Looks like you and Mark had a good session.
I'm marvelling at your new powers - "some relaxed fishing in February 2025", and have you been spending on a new reel? Not seen the Surfblaster 80000 (2.40)! 😁😁
Things seem to get ever more hectic here. Not had chance to get out fishing since last year, and finding that I have very little time for RUclips any more. Priorities are not as I'd like them to be. Tight lines, stay safe & well, Dave. 🎣🎣👍👍
Hi Dave thanks as always - hope you get your priorities where you want them. Totally understand though 👍 I’ll review the surfblaster 8 million then😂
@@SaltwaterAngler 👍👍😂😂
Great video Matt I can’t believe how good that Mark Fairhurst is at Fishing what a talented fisherman he is and I think king of the Whighting 😎🎣
You were like the Tasmanian devil speed angling! Great fun
Superb, as always.
Thanks for watching and listening
Another good video Matt hope to get out fishing either on thames Gravesend or thanet.
Have fun! I keep meaning to fish there
Lovely upload as always Matt,lovely flatties .kind regards Mike. Norfolk
His Mike ! Thanks Mate
Thanks for sharing Matt. 👍
That will be interesting when the top match angler shows up? He might even explain the tide in hastings never comes in from East to west left to right.
LOL ! Thanks for the feedback Lee, Yes appreciate that maybe it was the wind making me think it was dragging it that way. Was it you that i spoke to about skishing ? if so here is the link to that method of drifting with the bass in the water.

hello matt, and another busy day, well done. awaiting with baited breath for the next two exciting videos. take care and regards patrick chapman.
Thanks 👍 yes it’s made me think about sea fishing and ways we approach it
Excellent camera work
Thank you so much 😀
Another interesting video fishing in an area that I used to know very well and fished it a lot as I've previously said. Surprised that you only used 15lb bs line especially as brade is so fine, don't you ever get broken off? Way back when I fished there there weren't any fixed spool reals, only centrepins and multipliers. We mainly used cotton lines that had to be washed and dried after a session, monofilament was very hard and wirelike back then and didn't cast well. Very surprised how small those whiting were and even more so that you didn't get any cod. In the 1950s/1960s you certainly would have caught a few small codling up to about 10lbs, the larger ones were further offshore. By the way rockling are nice to eat. Wish that I'd discovered the channel earlier, looking forward to seeing the rest of the series.
Thanks for your comments. 15 is fine on these shingle beaches. I’d love to see if I could cast a big centre pin ! Maybe not with cotton lines though
@@SaltwaterAngler I certainly wasn't implying that it wasn't. I was just surprised and wouldn't have thought that it would been strong enough to land a 10lb cod especially against a strong tide. Maybe there's not enough of them about nowadays to worry about?
Nice one Matt. The conditions looked great. Nice to see you both catching. Mark's rods are ideal for flattie bashing in clean conditions.
Yes - good observation am going to look them up
@@SaltwaterAngler Good luck Matt. They are both elusive & expensive, being made in Italy. That Neil guy in the England boating fishing team has a deal going and that why they have gained some popularity.
Hi Matt, following on from your recent videos targeting Dabs, i took myself off down to Hythe for a sesson yesterday (Monday 12/2/24). Unfortunately i was plauged with double shots of Dogfish almost every cast :( I was fishing an hour up to high tide and 3 hours down, using Lugworm with size 1 hooks, 3 hook flapper, and a 1 up, 1 down clipped rig. Could not get through the dogs!
Yep they have now seemed to have arrived on mass here too. I’m hearing a similar story from Sussex beaches now.
At least you are not blanking. I want to fish Hythe this month so that’s a good report
I was fishing off Princes Parade, no parking fees until 1st April.
@hughgostelow8934 nice 👍 love some free parking
Great sound of the shingle and a nice balance of chat and quiet. A good chill video to finish the day. Cheers.
Thanks, I find it hard to get the sound right
It really is truly enjoyable the level of care and attention to the video(s) it really motivates me to fish. I've not fished for two weeks now, but this has motivated me to get fishing again.
Another totally enjoyable video Matt, always interesting content. 👍
Just wondering do you use the same rigs more than twice every time I go to use mine they gone rusty 😂
Shouldn’t go rusty ? Normally 5 trips before they need changing. I’m not great at washing everything but freshwater rinse and dried is ideal after each trip
@@SaltwaterAngler One of the 1st things I do after a fsihing trip is run a sink of hot soapy water and chuck my rigs, weights and end tackle in for a wash. Gets the smelly bait off my Paws too! 👍👍
Where in hasting would you say is the best mark for fishing??
This all depends on tide, weather conditions and seasons. To be honest for ease of fishing the Pier will probably produce the most fish. My records show wind direction most important factor.
Eastborne seem tobe very good.
@@hatchie61fish-on29 I've fished Eastbourne pier good for bream with cockles as bait
Nice video good to see you back out on the shingle, very nice conditions goid bit of swell and no weed, back in my bait fishing days, rough seas would bring in tons of weed making it unfishable looking forward to many more vids 💪🙏
Thanks Mark. We do ok for lack of weed here !
Top stuff again can’t wait to get out there soon
Spring soon mate ! Let us know how you get on
Will do bud
Nice video as always. Dabs a fairly rare down on the Dorset coast and the same applies to the Solent and I was wondering how far west from the Hastings area they remain prolific at this time of year. Any idea?
That’s a really interesting input there, shingle seems to be what they want - this recent run I’ve heard reports only as far as Eastbourne so wonder how Seaford was faring ?
Interesting thoughts. However there are plenty of shingle beaches on my section of the Dorset coast and also around the Solent where most of the beaches are like this. Perhaps it has something to do with the lateral currents which increase noticeably as you head towards the straits of Dover with a marked decrease, with the exception being around harbours and estuaries, as you head westwards. Maybe some marine biologists could throw some light on the subject.@@SaltwaterAngler
@davidburgess2354 thanks yes this is the sort of input we like on the channel. I’m not sure dab stick to breeding patterns on certain stretches either. But it’s has been the best year for numbers of them in living memory
Lovely video.
Really looking forward to the next two parts of the series especially the beginner one.
Coming soon!
Just goes to show that you can still catch with an easterly.
Good observation!
@@SaltwaterAngler I've just joined the Dover sea angling club, planning to fish the admiralty pier on Sunday. I'm so excited. Catch reports have early thornback rays and smoothhounds. Wish me luck!!
Boring yet again do something different
I think ticktok might be better do you
Well I enjoyed it..
