Squid Fishing - SQUID QUEST - Catch, Dispatch, Prepare, and Cook

Fishing for and catching Squid to cook has become one of my favourite things to do each autumn in Cornwall UK. I head out on the kayak before dawn on a quest to catch some Squid using Squid jigs fished by vertical jigging in deep water.

In the video below, I talk about and show the Squid jig rig, how to make the rig using a very simple and quick method of tying a standoff loop, along with the technique used to catch the Squid. In addition to the catching of the Squid, I show how to dispatch a Squid. Back home I prepare and clean the Squid and cook using a fantastic and simple recipe. Tight Lines and Bon Appétit. WARNING: Contains the dispatching of a Squid.

Shore Fishing - BOMBARDA Float Lure Fishing for Sea BASS with FLIES

There are many different methods used when fishing for Bass and in the video below, I use a Bombarda Float otherwise known as Sbirolino or Spirolino floats and a fly.

I use a spinning rod to cast out the lightweight flies using the weight of the Bombarda float to cast those flies a distance. This is a very effective way of lure fishing for Bass with lightweight lures and an alternative way to use saltwater flies if you do not want to take up conventional saltwater fly fishing. I have a great session with several Bass caught and a lot of fun using this very simple method with great and effective saltwater flies.

Clamming for a CLAM Feast - Smoking RAZOR CLAMS - Awesome Free Food

Big low water spring tides give a great opportunity to do some foraging and in this case foraging for Razor Clams otherwise known as Razor Fish.

In the video below, I find the burrows of the clams and collect them using table salt. The salting method of catching Razor Clams works because they are sensitive to changes in salinity and eject from their burrows when it becomes too salty. There are a few ways of cooking Razor Clams and one of them is smoking. I smoke some of the clams and serve with a mustard sauce. Coastal foraging is great fun and enjoying a meal from the free food is even better. Bon Appétit!

Shore Fishing - SPINNING from the Rocks - Targeting MACKEREL and BASS

I fish a very rough ground rock mark in Cornwall spinning for Mackerel and Bass. Apart from the lure fishing and catching the fish, I talk about the lures I am using and why along with the tackle.

Most of the video shown below is one session but a small part at the end is another session.
