Since you're up to 99 comments thought it right to add a 100th. Nice informative video Matthew. That rod is working well. Messing around with feathers, you'll soon be attaching them to everything. Can't wait to get out myself. It does feel like we are beginning to see the light at the end of the tunnel. Keep up the vlogging.
I'm an inventor and a very keen shore fisherman and I'm always experimenting with tackle and baits as you can see on my channel. I use a very unusual bait for catching flatfish of which I really want to share with everyone but as I cannot get out fishing due to lockdown and I feel as though I need to prove how well my bait idea works on camera, it's just gonna have to wait however, I really like the feather idea, great idea and free to make.
Very informative especially the tip about the feather, if no one gives you the tips you and up with a lot more blank's. Well done for not keeping it to yourself
Great video Matt! Not caught or eaten Dabs for years but they certainly are delicious! More Catch & cooks always welcome. Great info about tipping off worm baits, especially the feather! If you're casting that Multiplier out and only leaving a few metres of line on the spool, I guess there is no chance of Bird's nests! 😁😁 Thanks Matt - stay safe & well. Dave. 👍👍
Do enjoy the bait presentation plus preparation and cooking...I think too meny fishing vlogs lack any help with these specific issues thank you so much grazie ciao
Nice video. I'm lucky also, I live 6mins walk from my local beach (Preston Weymouth). A tip off bait I have read about for dabs is kipper. I've not tried it yet. When I've eaten dabs, I've always skinned the dark side and them just gentle shallow fry on the bone. Yum yum.
Nice one Matt. I remember bagging up on these Dabs in the eighties, the beaches must have literally been paved with them. We always took the largest couple home. Great British shore angler’s fish.
Nice going there. The quickest way to see if a flattie is a dab just look along lateral line has a semi circle in it the only flattie that has that. Been busy with other things to get out and now stormy weather.
Thanks for this cheered me up no end reminded me of when me and the misses had dab matches off the harbour wall in Bridlington And yes the misses won more than I Great days♡
What a great video, using a feather to tip off bait? never seen that before and it obviously works. As for eating dabs only had them once for breakfast at a friends house in Kent, totally agree a lovely eating fish. Thanks for posting.
Nice informative video. Some clever ideas and good to see it pay off. Thanks for sharing. Wish I lived that close to the sea. Look forward to more videos. Stay safe. 👍👌👏👏😷
Hi I shall try the feather for the dabs & I think the plaice will go as well. I'm going to get out in about a weeks time. I mainly fish for bass, but I do enjoy flatty bashing.😀
Will deffo try out the seagull feathers to tip off, great tip that. I Find sprats so frustrating as they look like such a good bait and are cheap as hell to buy but I've only ever managed to catch whiting on them which is no great achievement. Ta for another great vid 👍..
I will give the feathers a go ,thanks for the tip. Don't know when we will be allowed to go to the coast again..bloomin lockdown....... Keep the vids coming, cheers.
Oh yack,was trying to finish my pudding but all them lugworm and stuff put an end to that 😅😁Them dabs looked smashing,l bet they tasted even better . Thank you for sharing,keep them coming 👌🌱🌱🌱💕
Well they use feathers for lures in other situations so I can see why that'd work. I've done something similar using split shot and a feather to create a makeshift jig for perch when I was younger which was a bit of fun. I used to enjoy handlining perch using whatever bait or lure I could scratch up from around a nearby bridge support when the fishing was really slow at my favourite spot, never failed to amuse me watching them investigate the bait through the crystal clear water, frustrating as all hell when they'd come up and turn away but so satisfying when you did get one to take it
Hand lining perch on improv rigs now really Is proper fishing, sounds igloo.Thanks Luke it funny how those memories stick with you I can definitely Remember fish from 30/40 years ago coming up through the clear water
Thanks for the feather tip. I like you have fishing walking distance, up on the River Conwy estuary. I manage a flounder or two usually every second trip out, had a nice 34cm 1.3lb just a day or two ago, but i will try the feather trick and see if it works for flounder as well as the dabs. Cheers
I always bait lug tail first,it slot easier n I think fishes better,dabs n whiting have left my beaches,it serious scratching time for me now, keep bids coming 👍
I wonder if the feather floats and waggles underwater attracting the dab. I cook dab and flounder like you show it and put any offcuts deep into my compost heap. Quite a few flatties here in winter and I am only 5 mins. from the shore too. thanks for the Vid!
Strangest bait I've used is uncooked chicken.saw it with my own eyes,so I know it's true,plus my mates got pics of him with 5lb bass in Swansea marina.give it a go up your way,you never know🏴🎣🎣 Tight lines!
Great to see some lovely Dabs! We used to catch lots here in Devon but they disappeared years ago. Does anyone know what happened to the Dabs in South Devon?
Ah thanks for the feedback , I’m so close to the fisheries and many excellent Gillette’s I should really film them fillet my fish , I’m not too bad at filleting and enjoy cooking enough so yea maybe some plaice next month too.
As in the UK, so is here, in Israel, we are in lockdown. So no beach for who is not living close to the sea. I haven't gone fishing for more than a month now... The trick with the feathers is quite interesting, could you, please make a short video on how you tie them to the worm on the hook, without them falling away, please?
Yes I will do that. Sorry it was meant to be included in the original video but had a lot of technical issues with this one . It seems Israel as you say is the same in the uk in terms of living near the sea is the only way to fish.
Charming video, just subed. Many, many years ago I used to get some cracking dabs behind Chalkwell railway station on the Thames estuary; delicious! :-)
I have to buy a new rod and fishing gear itching to get out and do a bit for sure I'm only 20,30 minute cycle to the beach I'm close to the coast but all my gear was robbed from a mates van lastyear so I have to start collecting fishing tackle again I just luv to get out n do a bit. Watching ur video's is getting me ramped up can't wait .I'll see if I can get a lend of a rod for now n save up and get a decent one I'd be better off ,loving the videos by the way keep up the good work
I'm glad you asked me what my plans were as I would appreciate your advice. I'm fishing off the rocks in the med, six meters out 22 meters depth it's a good mark. I'm fishing lures for bass but... I fancy chucking a float out to watch while I'm spinning for bass but I don't have a float rod. So I'm looking at our old friend Alibaba, I'm in no rush and don't want to spend a fortune on it , but, what is a float rod ? Fast action, medium, slow ???. Three meters long, 2.4 or less, I've no idea to be honest and the net throws up all sorts of conflicting information. So, float fishing rod, six to ten Meters out, depth 22 meters, what do I need to buy ? I'm sorry this is a long post but I appreciate your time to give this newbie an answer before I spend my money ! Cheers mate 👍 Doh !, I forgot to say a big thanks for your new video, but you know I love your shit and look forward to each new ting 😉 God, I'm rambling now but I'm a fly fisherman at heart who ties his own flies, I fish the sea in the off season. As I have a tying vice I pimp all my lures, hooks etc for the sea fishing with a little crystal flash and a few feathers in red, blue and white. I've found it makes a difference 😉 If this is too long for a reply, sorry, I've just joined Facebook if you prefer, I'm Billy no Mates on facebook, ha ha ,👍
Thanks for the reply i like the idea that your on your phone trying to buy a rod while your fishing ! . Sea fishing is slightly different to course in that theres not really a dedicated float rod. It all depends on venue, i use 3 oz bass rods from deep rock marks and prefer something over 10ft for the 9" cigar floats . Although ive used lure rods when presenting bubble floats. Action wise 2 1/2 test curve carp rods have done well for me in the past because you may still have to winch a fish out over the rocks below. Fixed spools 4-5k size - with a well balanced 11ft light bass rod- that would be my choice but i tend to use what ive got for most float fishing- You can always chat over at saltwater angler instagram or email at matt@saltwaterangler.uk for more help if i can
Defiantly more catch and cook videos plz I e done mackerel and whitening and bass whiting cook well in butter with garlic and paprika or hot sauce or some sort very nice
Hi matt nice video mate. Hopefully I am going fishing on Sunday in the Isle of grain wich I live there 5 minutes walk for me i will be after dabs and bass I let you know how I got on take care mate
That’s the sandblaster a budget beachcaster from daiwa - it can be used with fixed spool or multiplier . I like it , a bit wobbly but it does the job and will take 6oz pendulum casts
Nice sessions Matt. Not conviced about the feathers yet, you fished in murky water, i don't think the fish will really see the bait, unless it's the vibration in the water that attracts them.
Catching 1 fish using a new technique could be classed as lucky, but 5 fish in 1 session using the same method is more than luck, you could be onto something there. Lots of dabs at my local harbour, so I may have to give this a try
@@SaltwaterAngler I can't see it being scent that attracts the fish, but maybe it's acting as a bait stop so the hook point is more pronounced and isn't clogged up with worm? just a theory
That’s interesting you say that as this might be less to do with a feather attracting a dab and more because the whiting avoid it. Giving something else a chance ? I did still catch whiting but two were foul hooked so maybe avoiding the stupid feather
Great content keep the videos coming. I’m a bit confused with the law of going fishing. I live in Plymouth and the closest place for me to go is about 7 miles away. What is the law am I aloud to drive to go for a couple of hours. Wait to here from you. Thanks and good luck for you season and keep safe.
Yea I don’t want to say the wrong thing here, there is no mile limit officially I’m staying within walking distance but it’s not for me to tell you what to do. By the time we figure it out lockdown will be lifted I guess 🤔
Hi colintraveller, the only hope will be if it’s back on by March I guess ? I think your right though it seems to drag this lockdown and I fully appreciate I’m in a different position wiling this my closest open people free space, you sir are definitely owed some great fishing days and I hope they will come soon
Dab are a worthwhile target even the record which is the longest one on record for any uk sea fish (1936) was under 3lb! You need to target the fish with a hook it can be hooked on !

At least you got some fishing in...
Always good to watch... Good tip re the feather... I’ll try that
Thanks. Look forward to the next vid!
Thanks for watching, I still think some more testing a required but let us know if it works for you !

Now where’s that sea gull!
Nice one with the feathers, I find coloured beads work really well 5 or 6 of them above the hook
Oh yes good point Pete
15 miles from the coast so can’t fish at the moment so good to see some people are getting out. These videos help with our sanity so thanks.
Thanks for saying that, appreciate you saying that I hope it helps and fingers tossed for a return in Early spring
Very informative especially the tip about the feather, if no one gives you the tips you and up with a lot more blank's. Well done for not keeping it to yourself
thanks Mike , its not a mega secret but i think if you accumulate all these things it must help in the long run
Great vid Matt, so envious watching you out there. Excellent tip with the feather and some nice fish as well. Thanks mate take care
Hi again Stephen , thanks for commenting - I’ll be trialing that feather again tomorrow too , hope you get to get out here soon , regards Matt

Nice one Matt. I remember bagging up on these Dabs in the eighties, the beaches must have literally been paved with them. We always took the largest couple home. Great British shore angler’s fish.
Dab city ! Still a possibility to get a fair few but as you say it happens less often !
Yes in those days we fished Dengemarsh. You could catch dabs 3 at a time. We had to use big hooks to avoid them!
Nice going there. The quickest way to see if a flattie is a dab just look along lateral line has a semi circle in it the only flattie that has that. Been busy with other things to get out and now stormy weather.
Yea it’s hard to get it all to come together and then the weather stops play ! Good dab I’d tip thank you

Great to see some lovely Dabs! We used to catch lots here in Devon but they disappeared years ago. Does anyone know what happened to the Dabs in South Devon?
That’s a shame there does seem to have always been a shift in species movements but not sure why ? Anyone help here ?

Ohh darn those easterlies ! We are a bit luckier with temp here rarely under 2degrees too - I’m a softy southerner !
I don't mind a of cold weather or bit of a swell but at the min its just Dangerous and not worth it
Hi,what’s the yellow and black rod you are using with the multiplier???
That’s the sandblaster a budget beachcaster from daiwa - it can be used with fixed spool or multiplier . I like it , a bit wobbly but it does the job and will take 6oz pendulum casts

Thanks Matt love your videos exactly how good are mackerel heads as bait?
A very good bait particularly in autumn in the evening after the mackerel anglers have left ! I rate it for bigger bass
Nice section!!!
Hi,do you know if Pwllheli beach produces codling???
A rarity I’ve had just one tiny red one in aberdaron and I do know some locals get them on the north coast on occasion.
Another good one Matt, have managed a couple of trips but the whole of the Hampshire area is really dismal fish wise.

Where was you fishing ...looked spot on
good video bud thanks for sharing
Thanks kieth
Nice sessions Matt. Not conviced about the feathers yet, you fished in murky water, i don't think the fish will really see the bait, unless it's the vibration in the water that attracts them.

how long will these dab stick around for in hastings? And how far out would you need to cast?
Distance will vary but it’s definitely worth having a good 100m cast in your armoury They should be here into spring where plaice will join in too.
Always nice to see the Plaice arrive... albeit a little thin at the start...
@@SaltwaterAngler thanks! can't wait
Thanks for my weekly fix. Sadly too far from the sea and locked down. ☹️
Sort of glad I can do that for us all but appreciate so many aren’t close enough to the coast , cheers Ian back soon I hope
Ditto
I’m not to far away from the coast however every time I go fishing I don’t catch anything could you help?
Which part of the coastline are you closest too ?
Clacton on sea 🌊
Armchair fishing for me. Great video, and did we see your best ever cast in this one?

you put the earth worm?
Nope more effective than that !
Fishing Santa Barbara beach tomorrow
Ah I’ve just looked that up on the map Pete- it’s snowing here in Hastings by the way !
Who not to increase the size of the hook like 5/0 6/0 to avoid all that small fish?
Dab are a worthwhile target even the record which is the longest one on record for any uk sea fish (1936) was under 3lb! You need to target the fish with a hook it can be hooked on !
Maybe he catch nothing if using 5/0, 6/0,fish for what you know not what you hope for. Keep it up son👍
