After a long day’s fishing on Anglesey, which some of you may have ...

🎣 NEW VIDEO OUT TODAY AT 2PM! 🎣

Another adventure with That’s a Bite — and this one certainly didn’t go quite to plan! 😂

Technically part 3 of my long day fishing around Anglesey, I was already on my way home, tired and ready for bed, when Gerient called...

He was fishing the Menai and said he was catching plenty of fish. Now, I was tired… very tired! 😴

That was until he sent me a photo of some of the fish he was into! 👀🎣

That was enough… I took the next exit and headed back for another night’s fishing on the Menai!

And I’m VERY glad I did!

There were plenty of fish to be caught, although for me it started off slow and, at times, rather frustrating. But then… my first fish was on! 🎣🔥

Gerient hit record — and this is where all the smoke started! 💨😂

Was Gerient still on fire after all the fish he'd already caught? 🔥

Or was it simply a ridiculous amount of smoke billowing across the camera?! 🤣

True That’s a Bite style, I’ve also added a little something extra into the video… so make sure you watch right to the end!

🎬 NEW VIDEO — TODAY AT 2PM

In this episode, you join myself and The Southern Dangler as we venture across the unforgiving rocky coastline of Anglesey, on the hunt for po***ck… but this time, we’re on the lures! 🎣🔥

It’s a brilliant session with a few different species caught along the way, but the big question is…

🐟 CAN WE FIND THE PO***CK?! 👀

🕑 Tune in TODAY at 2PM!

If you’re not busy, get yourself ready for this one! And if you are… make sure you settle down this evening and give it a watch. 🍻🎣

🎣 CHASING PO***CK ON THE LURES! 🎣

All I can say is… WHAT A DAY! 😍

Yesterday was one of those days where we packed in absolutely everything — fishing, filming, a few tactical changes and, eventually… CARNAGE! 😂🔥

We started off at our first rock mark around 1pm on a flooding tide, targeting po***ck and mackerel on the lures. After that, we flew over to **Blufin** to stock up on some bait and tackle before heading off to Treddur Bay to film another episode.

Fishing was tough, but I had a cunning little plan up my sleeve to get us some fish… and thankfully, we got there in the end! 🎣

But the day wasn't finished yet…

On the way home after a **long day's fishing**, the Menai was literally calling me! 😅 So I dropped onto a mark and within a few minutes, fish were coming out for Gerient.

Meanwhile… I was sat there scratching my head wondering why I couldn't even get a bite! 🤦‍♂️😂

A few small changes to the setup and then…

💥 BOOM! CARNAGE! 💥

Both rods were constantly going, with fish after fish coming aboard! 🎣🔥

What a way to finish the day!

And the best part? This is going to make an absolute belter of a 3-part series for the channel!🎥🎣

Keep your eyes peeled… you definitely won't want to miss these! 👀🔥

🎣 WHAT A DAY! The Anglesey Open – Day 2! 🎣

Top day today fishing the 2nd day of the Anglesey Open, hosted by Blufin ! 🙌

Unfortunately, I couldn’t make Day 1 due to family commitments, but Day 2 was absolutely brilliant!

The day started with the breakfast challenge, which was certainly entertaining to watch! 😂 Unfortunately, nobody could beat it, but fair play to everyone who gave it a go!

The stalls and different brands there in support of the event were amazing too. I popped over to the Mustang Survival store to speak with their representative and explain why safety is paramount to me, and especially to the people who follow the channel. I was very kindly gifted a PFD device, which I’m extremely grateful for. Hopefully, it will never have to be deployed! 🤞

🎣 ONTO THE FISHING!

This is where things got interesting… and pretty much broke me and the Menace! 😂

At first, we fancied Doc Bach, but as the morning went on, we changed our minds and decided to try Amlwch Breakwater for a spot of mini fishing.

Upon arrival, there was already a good amount of people enjoying their fishing. The time was now 1:15pm, with the match having started at 1pm! 😬

That left me and the Menace scrambling over the headland looking for a spot. Fast forward another half an hour and we eventually settled on somewhere to fish.

What started off brilliantly for Roger, with a few nice Ballan wrasse falling to a two-hook flapper, left me chasing my own Ballan. It took a while, but I eventually got there! Roger landed a few corkwing wrasse too, but the fishing soon became really tough.

So… the big baits went out in search of a huss, conger or anything else that might fancy a snuffle. A couple of knocks on the rod tip… and that was about it!

With the last hour approaching, we both decided to head further around the headland to a spot I knew would hold a large amount of fish, especially the mini species.

THE MOVE WORKED! 🎣🔥

As soon as the rigs hit the water, the LRF rods were bouncing! We managed to nick a few species each.

RESULT!

🐟 5 SPECIES FOR ME
🐟 6 SPECIES FOR ROGER

And then… THIS IS WHERE IT ALL WENT WRONG! 😂

THE JOURNEY BACK! 🤦‍♂️

It was like a scene from Brokeback Mountain! 😂

We headed towards the entrance of an abandoned complex, which had already taken us a fair bit of time to reach… only to be greeted by solid locked gates and absolutely no gaps in the fence!

Fast forward another 20 minutes, 2,500 steps, sweat pouring off us and our backs breaking under the weight of the gear, and we eventually found a way out! 😅😅😅

Unfortunately, we didn’t get back in time for our results to be registered. As you can imagine, we were rather late getting back! 🤣

Still, what an absolutely brilliant day.

A massive well done to everyone who fished, especially those who placed on the leaderboard. 👏🎣

And a HUGE thank you to for pulling off such an amazing event. The atmosphere, brands, stalls and fishing made it a cracking day.

WHAT. A. DAY! 🎣🔥

P.s I didnt film much as we litrelly had no time to sit... but im ready more than ever to smash the content moving forward... watch this space!

Its been a long few months but the return is imminent! Life got busy, a few things happend aswell as an injury to my wrist but... ill be back soon!

Camera update, ive found it... long story!! But that gives me the incentive to push through and get some content rolling again!

In the mean time, ive been out a few times this past couple of weeks, a session on llandulas beach resulting in a silver eel on a flooding tide but the pinickle moment was yesterday... I ventured down to Blufin for a mooch about in the shop, upon walking through the door a little stand of ugly stik combos caught my eye 👁 I just knew I had to get one! The colour scheme of orange quite suits me as a ginger guy 😂

So of i venture down to the inland sea for a spot of mini fishing and a target species in mind, a GAR!

They've evaded me a couple of times, due to wind and the float not sitting right and flowing in to quickly but yesterday, a trickling wind allowed me to locate the Gar fish... A quick bit of water craft implied and then I seen them... slight ripples and disturbance on the surface... I quickly set up the float rod with a 3ft hook lengh with a hook tipped with a sliver of mackerel... Two casts later over the spot, GAR ON! Happy days!! Cracking little fight from these on a light set up.

Then it was onto christening the GINGER UGGLY STIK... Armed with a 2 hook flapper, bits of rag i set of in search of the minis and to put a bend in the ugly stik. It didnt take long at all before that tip was rattling away then boom... little tom pot followed by numbers of wrasse. What a great way of fishing! A massive thankyou to Jon Ha and Bex for keeping me company that day and capturing the moments, well done on your fish too guys!

I didnt film yesterday because ive only just located my camera but soon, i shall be out and about filming again!

Thank you all for waiting for me patiently, the return is imminent!

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! 🎣🔥
