that second fish looked bigger than six pound. is that the biggest from the pier this year?

 

There was a seven pounder caught at the start of the month. Lots of threes and fours at the moment. That second fish pulled the rod over the railings. Lucky I was on hand to grab it just in time.

 

what i like most about this video is seeing Arran do a proper Ebo pier cast at 2:45, I recall a thread on here when idiots who'd never fished the pier said I was stupid and careless to cast with a big swing under the pier! they didn't think it possible.... now they know!

was that big Az i heard when your guy was holding the 6lb7 hound... "bang it on the floor" ?? ..... now there's a man who can cook a hound, i remember him doing one in the tackle shop one night a few years back, marinade in yogurt, coke, onion and whatever else... gorgeous!!

 

Sure was hugh! A lot of my footage has to be carefully edited as az's language is a bit choice lol. Missed arans crack off though it was spectacular! Pop up one day and have a fish mate.

 

Would anyone care to enlighten me what is happening between 1.34 and 1.48 please :nono:

 

Carl loves his fishing that much he got over excited ! Its ok i am sure the skipper of that yaught could not see his tackle from there.

That cast does look kinda technical. How does he manage not to get caught up under the floor?

Its all in the timing ting. Aran also flicks the lead sidewards at the last minute where there is a bit of room for the lead to swing. I tried it once but cracked off lol

swing out away from the pier, swing back under the steps pretty much (no cross braces tween the legs under them), let the rod dip, slam it, rod will compress as good as any OTG cast, i guess it's a 'low swing pendulum' of sorts!!! i usually have about a 8-10ft drop witha 13ft rod.


Az makes me laugh, , I know what ya mean about his language, I asked him once was his real name was, I suggested that I wasn't overly comfortable with calling him "Paki Az", i think there was another Az up there at the time, young kiddy, and that was how they differentiated tween each other. he said to me... look C**t, my name is Az, i'm a Paki, so call me Paki Az you C**t !! I still call him plain Az but, it made a few people look up who were just out for the ice cream!!

i've not been up thee for about 2yrs nearly, used to fish it a fair bit so might well pop along again, parking is my only bug bear there now. the only parking bays were turned into taxi spaces which are never used by them!

Well not much has changed az wise! He calls everyone c*@t! Tackle shop much better now hugh plus the bottom deck has been re gridded. Such good banter up there. The regulars are great so many characters and full of laughs. Are you still venturing out tonight?

 

Must be a laugh a minute when one of those Hounds tangles up half a dozen lines - way to many rods in one little area - think I will stick to the wide open beaches :thumbs:

 

Nice little vid there mate. Well done.

easy to fish mate, unlike everywhere else where each angler clings to his little piece of railing like he's just mortgaged it, here you cast, then simply place your rod in the space where the line points, works perfectly!! rare to get a tangle that takes more than a minute to sort out!



Carper..

Nooo! been soo busy this week that i'm just too knackered, this weather rain was the final nail! i'm gonna get a good night tonight and fish 24hrs morro instead.

laterz.

How exactly does that work after dark then?

You use your headtorch to look where the lines are and place your rod as you would in the daytime. It is very rare you get tangled up. Sometimes you may have to lift your rod over the top of the guy next to you but thats no problem. The guys on the top deck all fish at range and hardly ever get in a tangle as hugh said.
