THAT'S A BITE! 🎣

The channels very own Bradley Newman has been chasing some bigger po***ck for a few weeks now. One thing about Brad is, he never ever stops! When i first met him a few years back, he was a novice but was always learning and adapting to any situation he faced. Often he would have a blanking session, but that would never knock his determination!

Made up for you Brad, cracking fish indeed and dont ever stop being the southern dangler you are, well done mate! Your angling has come on a long way!

That's a bite! 🎣

Hello to all my faithful subscribers and followers,

I thought I'd take a little time out of my day today to explain my absence from YouTube.

I appreciate that many of you have been patiently waiting for the next video, but as things stand, I've taken a short break from the channel. Life got a bit hectic, and honestly, I just wasn't feeling my best for a while.

The good news is that I'm doing well. I've still been keeping busy behind the scenes, just without the camera. I've treated myself to some time at Bron Eifion Fishing Lakes & Lodges, enjoying a bit of coarse fishing, which is something I've loved since I was 5 years old. It's always been a massive part of my life. I've also managed to squeeze in the odd sea fishing trip too.

I will be back soon, but there are going to be a few changes. I'm taking this time to work on new video ideas and rethink how I make my content. I want to improve things and bring you even better videos moving forward.

I really appreciate all of your support and patience. It won't be much longer, but this break is something I needed.

For now, keep fishing, keep enjoying yourselves, and I'll see you all very soon!

Tight lines,
Mike

The battle of a Smooth Hound 🦈🔥

Although I wasn’t filming at the time, I’m glad a friend managed to capture this moment on their phone — my first Smooth Hound landed! Fallen short to crab on an estuary rig (fixed paternoster setup). 🎣

Hounds of this size really know how to put up a serious fight. The adrenaline when that rod bent over was unreal! Double figure hounds are something else altogether. 💪

The rod I used was the Fishing Ferrari Oxidiane, and honestly, it’s one of the best 3-piece continental rods I’ve used recently. The finish, the power, and the way it handled this fish was INSANE. Highly recommend these rods if you’re looking for quality gear that can handle hard-fighting fish. 👌

What an absolute adrenaline-filled moment — this is what fishing is all about! 🎣🔥

🎣 That’s A Bite 🎣

I’ve taken a bit of time away from the cameras lately to enjoy some downtime, but last night I finally got back out where I belong… on the beach with the rods out and a bucket full of crab ready for action! 🦀🔥

Armed with my favourite rig and the Fishing Ferrari — The Oxidiane 3 piece continental — the hounds were definitely out to play!

The session started slow with the fast flooding tide dragging in clumps of w**d every cast, making things frustrating early on. So I sat it out, waited for the tide to settle, and once it did… rigs back in and game on!

It didn’t take long before that Fishing Ferrari rod bent double and the clutch on the Penn started absolutely screaming! 🎶💥

First double-figure fish of the season and what a fish it was — a cracking female smoothhound! 🦈 A few more big girls followed too, all falling to the crab baits.

It honestly felt amazing to be back out there. I always say it… just go fishing, no matter the mood. Recently, I really haven’t felt like fishing at all and couldn’t face it, but last night relit that spark and reminded me exactly why I fell in love with this sport in the first place.

What a night. 🙌

Just go fishing! 🎣
