Autumn Fly Fishing for Brown and Rainbow Trout - Pochard Trout Fishery

In the video below, I fly fish for brown and rainbow trout at a fantastic stillwater trout fishery called Pochard in North Bucks.  I fished two days but the main video was shot on day two catching both brown and rainbow trout and the last fish of the day was a really nice brown trout.

A variety of flies were used, lures, nymphs, and buzzers.  The fishery is in a stunning location surrounded by colourful autumn forest and a pleasure to fish with great facilities and some great fishing available.

My Most Successful Squid Fishing Rig, Squid Jigs, and Squid Jig Colours

With the Cornish squid fishing season well underway and following a recent squid fishing video I did a couple of weeks ago I talk about the vertical squid fishing rig I use from the kayak (video below) along with my most successful squid jigs the Yo-Zuri Crystal Aurora and the Yo-Zuri Ultra Bait Aurora along with my most successful squid jig colours.  

These jigs are unweighted jigs well suited to vertical squid fishing.  In addition, I talk about and show weighted squid jigs and squid prongs for using with bait.  The rig, squid jigs, and squid jig colours have given me a lot of success over several years of squid fishing in Cornwall.

Kayak Fishing - Jumbo Mackerel, Squid, Gurnard, Scad

Pleased to say out kayak fishing (video below) targeting Squid and Mackerel and anything else I could catch.  It was a great day with great weather and plenty of action.  

After a slow start some good sized Mackerel turned up, some mixed species, and Squid.  All of the fishing is lure fishing on the drift with Squid jigs, sabikis, jigs, and homemade Mackerel lures.  It was a great day with a nice bag for the table with some of our favourite seafood to eat.

Very Dark Very Misty Shore Bass Fishing - Part Podcast Part Video

In the video below, I am out again starting lure Bass fishing in the dark well before sunrise and when daylight broke it was a misty foggy morning.  The sea was flat calm but starting in the dark combined with the foggy morning helped to produce some Bass.  


I had a great morning and a few Bass provided some good sport.  Due to the dark and stealth fishing part of the video is a bit like a podcast until daylight broke when video footage was possible.

The Wife and I Go Rock Fishing for a Fresh Fish Cook Up on the Rocks

In the video below, Linda and I take advantage of some fantastic warm sunny Cornish autumn weather and spend the afternoon fishing off the rocks.  The plan was to see what we could catch and if succesful, cook the fresh fish on the rocks with a portable barbeque.  

We do some spinning and float fishing and have a great fun fishing afternoon with some fresh seafood to eat and enjoy.  Fishing and cooking fun in the sun.

Shore Lure Fishing for Bass – Night into Dawn - Awesome Time to Fish

Night-time and night into dawn can be a great time to go lure fishing for Bass.  In the video below, I start fishing well before dawn in the dark over shallow rough groung using a shallow working lure the 26g Westin Salty and the fish catching action was pretty quick.  


In addition to the fishing, I talk about the solunar theory/forecast and if it is worth taking into account when choosing times to fish.

Shore Lure Fishing from the Rocks - When the Winds in the East

UK shore fishing is tough at the best of times and from my experience there is some truth in the saying when the winds in the east the fish bite the least although it does not mean you cannot catch anything.  

 

In the video below, I am back on the rocks in the hope of at least catching something, Mackerel, Bass, or Pollack.  The wind had been in the east all week with high pressure and sunny weather, which had been great but not so great for shore fishing.  My best hope of success was to start fishing before dawn in very low light conditions and that proved to be the case.

Shore Rock Fishing - Early Morning Spinning for Bass and Mackerel - Seal Problem

In the video below, I do some rock fishing spinning for Bass and Mackerel starting before dawn.  Dawn is a great time to be out fishing and can make the difference between catching and not catching.  


I had a bit of an abundant Seal problem however, that did not stop me catching a few fish.
