Yes, first comment. I messed up and scheduled the video at 3:00 am not 3:00pm UK time - so you were awake 'over there'. Lovely to hear from you, stay warm. Phil
I should really take more home for the plate but I do like to watch them swim off again. If we'd been getting more fish that session I think I would have taken it.
Thanks, I was really pleased to catch that one (as you probably could tell). The surf was really stirring things up making the fishing hard. Great session tough 😜
Thank you, I enjoyed fishing this beach. It was quite shallow and I think the surf made it difficult for the flounder to get to the bait. Gordon sent his Water Wolf camera down and you could see the whirlpool going on down there. Phil.
Nice flounder and another enjoyable video! I note that naughty Gordon has lead you astray with his long line set ups! Only one new word for roe from him today! Think it was 4 when you were at the harbour! Keep the entertainment up you two! All the Best!
Thanks David, I'm continually expanding my doric but I'm sure I must be a frustrating student for poor Gordon. It was nice to get out before the storms - it's wild today.
Great little session, Phil. Cold or not, the beach is a pleasure to fish from. Lovely flounder, too. I'm still to get my 40+ this year. Not for the want of trying! All the best 👍
@anotherangleUK we didn't have much of a storm down here, was a bit windy for 4 hours in the early hours then hardly anything all day yesterday. Thursday was windier! Hope your all ok up there
We fortunately only had 50 mph winds. The West and Central areas took the worse of it. i did wonder if we'd loose power but it was fine this time around. Glad you’re okay 'down south'. 😊
Great stuff Phil, lovely video and fitta crakker o a fash tae catch, was anither gweed days fishing and enjoyed fishing alongside yea eense again, teicht lines ma freen 🎣🐟🐟
Great video Phil, really captures the harsh beauty of winter on the Scottish coast! Lovely flattie! I have to admit much of the technical aspects of sea fishing are lost on me (rigs, weights etc) but i like the idea of searching the area with a flounder spoon? Maybe that would work well in a more intimate area such as an estuary with a defined channel?? Good luck 👍
Funny you should say that, I think the rigs can get over complicated. I'm keeping to basic set ups as they use less components that make it hurt more when you loose a rig in the snags. I guess that's partly why I like clean beach fishing as I usually don't suffer lost tackle. (Can you tell I've lived in both Yorkshire and Scotland 😆). I agree about finding channels and deeper holes for the flounder spoons to search out the fish. Turbot are ambush fish so I was hoping I might have caught one - always next time.
Thanks. That surf rather shouts Bass. I'm thinking I'll leave the shore rods at home and travel light with a lure rod..... You never know what's there do you.
Hello Phil, I was out on Wednesday fishing myself on Whitepark bay, tide was running quite strong as it’s full of Deep gullies, so thought I wasn’t going to catch anything,the target was turbot and bass but ended up with four small flounders a seatrout and a dogfish so was happy enough with my first session of 2025, you had a brilliant flounder there well done keep the videos coming thankyou
Hi Ronnie, Good start to your season. Sounds like you had a great session before the storm. That will have shifted the sand around and created some new opportunities when it all calms down again. Stay safe. Phil.
@ 65 mph here in Salcombe last night , normal winter storm , but it looks like you guys are in for a bumpy one , we got a good day out on the water on Wednesday before the storms , albeit freezing out on the water , the bass and pollock were still biting off Salcombe
Hi Jason, it was good to fish some clean ground again. The outside of the break water there was so snaggy - I don't like loosing any gear at all. Looking forward to using the new creel. Gordon had some good footage of using his camera with his. Phil
@anotherangleUK yeah I would be the same leads aren't cheap to buy. Yeah Gordon had some cracking footage in his creel. Looking forward to your ony tjos year.
Thanks. I would go back maybe when there is less swell for the flatties. But, Gordon mentioned some lads had caught a Bass for there. That makes me want to just take a spin rod, small back pack, be mobile and work along the beach to see what I can do.
@@bailienicoljarvie2878 So many options around this coast and also my fresh water fishing opportunities as well. We are very fortunate to live in such a wonderful part of Scotland.
Minus 2 !!! We have very similar weather! First comment??? CHEERS from HERE!!! Viewing from S.W. Vancouver ISLE in CANADA! Hello to Gordon AS well!!!
Yes, first comment. I messed up and scheduled the video at 3:00 am not 3:00pm UK time - so you were awake 'over there'. Lovely to hear from you, stay warm. Phil
Another good video Phil, i thought you would of had that big one on your plate for your tea, Thank you Phil,
I should really take more home for the plate but I do like to watch them swim off again. If we'd been getting more fish that session I think I would have taken it.
@anotherangleUK That would keep er indoors happy as well lol,

Thanks, I was really pleased to catch that one (as you probably could tell). The surf was really stirring things up making the fishing hard. Great session tough 😜
Great video Phil, cracking flounder too👌

@ thanks Phil, yeah all okay on the west.

Great Video Phil ,bonny Flounder well done .
Thanks Lenny, been getting a number of these better fish recently. Going to have one for the table next time. Phil

Thanks Darren, that one was probably my best for a very long while. Good luck in your 40+ flounder campaign. Phil.
Top quality as always mate. Feel like I was there with you both 😊
Thanks Tommo. Won't be long before you're back out on your boat having some adventures. Phil
@anotherangleUK doing jobs on it today, bright sunshine here and no wind today
@@fat_tommo_goes_boating Same here, all nice a calm after the storm. Hope you're videoing the boat jobs.
@anotherangleUK we didn't have much of a storm down here, was a bit windy for 4 hours in the early hours then hardly anything all day yesterday.
Thursday was windier!
Hope your all ok up there

Thanks Gordon, was a cracking day out fishing again. Looking forward to the next session.
@ me too pal 👍🎣🐟🐟🐟

👍 From the ever so exotic East Lothian. A tad blowy today. Hope everyone's safe and well. Mark
Hi Mark, it's blowing up here but nothing like what's happening over on the West side. Take care mate. Phil.
Just catching up on your vids .Nice one again Phil.a stunning day with the surf rolling in .whst more could u ask for .
Thanks. That surf rather shouts Bass. I'm thinking I'll leave the shore rods at home and travel light with a lure rod..... You never know what's there do you.

Looks A wee bit chillier than devon and Cornwall at the moment Phil …😊
Lull before the storm, wind and rain have arrived in Aberdeenshire 😳
@ 65 mph here in Salcombe last night , normal winter storm , but it looks like you guys are in for a bumpy one , we got a good day out on the water on Wednesday before the storms , albeit freezing out on the water , the bass and pollock were still biting off Salcombe
Sounds like you had a good session. A lot of folks hang up the rods in winter but it's often good fishing - so long as you're wrapped up well.
That's a cracking fish Phil. I have never fished the broch beach might be worth a little long line with my boat see if there's anything.
Hi Jason, it was good to fish some clean ground again. The outside of the break water there was so snaggy - I don't like loosing any gear at all.

try cullykhan beach..just north of pennan ,,it used to be very good for flatties and the odd turbot..nice and clean fishing..
Thanks for the suggestion, I've added that to my list. So many great fishing opportunities around our lovely coast here.
Quality fishing, some good specimen flounder. Enough to make you go back?
Thanks. I would go back maybe when there is less swell for the flatties. But, Gordon mentioned some lads had caught a Bass for there. That makes me want to just take a spin rod, small back pack, be mobile and work along the beach to see what I can do.
@anotherangleUK Sounds like a plan has hatched there!
@@bailienicoljarvie2878 So many options around this coast and also my fresh water fishing opportunities as well. We are very fortunate to live in such a wonderful part of Scotland.
@anotherangleUK Indeed, but you also travel far to catch, and have a great variety in your fishing. Great to watch.
