Lure fishing and Traditional methods for Saltwater and Freshwater species. TACKLE TIPS AND TRICKS for the newcomer to the more experienced angler.
I'm not claiming to be an expert just a guy that fishes a lot and catches a few fish. I'm always trying to think of new and better ways of doing things. Sometimes they are productive and sometimes they fall flat on their face but when it all comes together and i catch a new species or the same species but in a different way it's a real buzz. Sometimes it's the failures that make the successes even sweeter.
Why The Constant Angler? Well if i am not fishing i am constantly thinking about it.
Come join me on my journey.

Mullet Fishing - Float Fishing Rivers for Mullet - Perseverance Pays Of Big Time !!!!
#mulletfishing #fishingvideos #mullet_fishing @TheConstantAngler
Follow me as I float fish for Mullet. It appeared the fishing gods were against me but I persevered and was eventually rewarded with a stunning fish! Mullet can be very tricky to catch but get them feeding and they are eminently catchable. See how I mix up my groundbait with a rather special addition and float fish for them. When you hook a mullet there is nothing like it! They shoot off like fish torpedoes and never know when to give in. Float fishing for Mullet is great fun and you dont need expensive tackle or bait, so give it a go.

What a stunning location brilliant Adrian
@@Kernow-lerf cheers mate. It is a truly stunning place
Well deserved fish. Great overall mullet care. Where is this may I ask?
@@tadhghayden7601 River Dart, Devon
Looks like Totnes in South Devon
@@derekmay8679 it is. Lovely spot
You taught me how to fish there at the turning bay over 40 years ago 🫣. Good to see you are well Pete
@@PeterCoish-r8f hi buddy. Long time ago now. I remember it well. Good to hear from you. If you ever fancy a go let me know
Great to see you back on them Adrian,, How are you finding the Plus for them Mullet,, or is it too early to say? I keep sitting on the fence for either the Plus or Newer Specimen in 14ft flavour. atb ry
@CR33DH20 I like it but I’m not sure I need the plus as a slightly softer rod might give less hook pulls.Its a compromise between a fast action that enables you to hit bites and a rod soft enough to prevent hook pulls but enough backbone.
@TheConstantAngler I'm glad you said Ad, this is what's been bugging me , having the right power/ play combi Originally, I was all for the speci when released,,, but held off last min with a view to making a more informed decision
Good to see you out getting stuck into it mate! Nice fish 🎣
@@TheAccidentalDweeb cheers buddy. I enjoyed myself
Adrian, a wonderful video. Thank you so much for uploading and sharing. My Dad was my fishing buddy right to the end and my sentimentality kicked in again watching your beautiful film. Great bass content too. Thanks again, mate.
My pleasure mate.
Your locations always loook nice 😮
@@The_Multi-species_Angler it was a nice place to grow up and fish. Doesn’t look so nice when it rains though, which it has done a lot this year🤣
Nice catch Adrian! Mullet seems to be a hard fighters! 💪
Cheers Kalles. They are and they slip the hook far too easily.
Well done. They're Well worth the wait aren't they. Had a 4lb 2oz from the same river off the surface a few days ago Only took me about 4 hours of frustration and my best mullet to date
@petedevon cracking fish mate. Must try for them off the surface myself
I actually shouted noooo as you lost that first fish Adrian brilliant video
@@Kernow-lerf I wasn’t best pleased
@@TheConstantAngler I bet but still nice reward for your patience mate very nice 👍
Come on m8 you need the £2 loaf pmsl great video 🎣👍
@@darrenrodd. there’s no denying it I’m cheap
Enjoyed that buddy. Next time just tighten your drag up a little. When your drag is spinning and your'e winding the reel, it causes severe line twists which in turn causes really bad wind knots upon casting.
@@richardjones2811 here what your saying. Glad you enjoyed it
@@TheConstantAngler Enjoyed it very much. May I ask if it was low water slack or high water slack you fished? There's a few spots up here in North Wales that hold Mullet and would like to give it a try. Be a little change from the usual Beach Bass Fishing.
@@richardjones2811 It was about half tide up to high tide. I try to find a feature they can hide behind out of the main flow. Same as Chub fishing really, somewhere they can nip in and out of the current
@@TheConstantAngler I see, thanks for the information. A bit different to Bass then who like a constant flow of water and often found in the most violent of tidal areas. I guess Mullet are a bit lazier and like to conserve their energy a bit more. Definitely helps to understand the habits of the target species doesn't it. If there's no feature to be seen then some sort of back eddy or area of slacker water would suffice?
@richardjones2811 Exactly. You can catch them in flow but the minute they can head up river they will.
Lovely bit of fishing, very enjoyable.
@@garymcguire8529 thank you. Glad you enjoyed it.

@@TheConstantAngler on the rock ledge
Great video mate. Love the look of beaches like that for bassing. Me and the wife are heading to St Just from Teignmouth in early September for a week. I shall throw a rod and box of lures in the car. Just googled is that mansands up my way, not too far from Brixham?
@@stevewest4750 that’s the one. Unfortunately it is a bit too close to it so gets netted, hence the smaller fish
I ordered that reel as well as the mavllos delicacy. Still waiting for them so i can get into bfs fishing.
@@freshandsaltyjohnny I’m still using and abusing the reel and rod.
Nice vdeo, know what you mean.

That last bass looked so long.
@@RicardoReview it did. Very lean though. Strong fish
Thanks for sharing. Looks like a beautiful place. Lost my dad many years ago. Before he got sick and past. He said to me, let’s go Surf fishing, which my dad loved to do. He said I want to go out there one more time. I didn’t understand at the time. This was early October. That next spring he was gone. We did not catch any fish that day but we had fun. Itsall about the memories you make in the end.
@@vinnylivoti9567 pretty much what happened with me and my father.
I have the SGS5 also in 9'6" (12-46g) and I love it! My best bass rod!
Solid rod so far. Launches those lures. Quick recovery
Nice video.. Great memories 💯
Thanks I enjoyed making it.
I have arthritis in my hands and feet and it takes over a hour in the morning before i have enough movement and enough relieve from pain to fish. Unbelievable pain in fingers and toes.and only sleep about 2 hours at a time. I definitely know what you mean..😊
@@patrickhartman6818 yep. It’s not great. Got diagnosed with RA a year ago.
Hello C.A
Hello mate
What lines do you use
@@hazza11022 60lb Power Pro braid
You might be able to change the bearings to ceramic bearings and get it to cast smoother and lighter lures, sacrifice a bit of distance though. I just ordered this reel as my first bfs reel paired it with a mavllos delicacy rod and it's a little over $50 USD. Going to make loads of videos on it. I've been spoiled and have used my friend's various $600-900 BFS combo's as well as his $150-300 range bfs combo's. Bet i'll catch more than him with this $50 combo lol. Cheers dude you got a new subscriber. Stay tuned for my episode.
@@freshandsaltyjohnny just subbed your channel looks great
What's stopping it?
@@leohernandez8029 not sure what your asking??
@@TheConstantAngler like how do you stop the line before hitting the water?
@leohernandez8029 I either use my finger or my left hand to. If you’re using heavier lines and lures you may need a glove to stop them as the braid may cut your finger when casting/stopping the lure. I’m only using 20lb here
@@TheConstantAngler ohhhh I see what you mean thank you
I love Pier fishing for Pacific mackerel with micro metal jigs
@@Jdpacificmackerel I would imagine it’s great sport.
I'm gonna try this rod. Will let you know how I get on.
Hey man I'm watching your videos. What do you think about the idea of using a metal jig but with the treble swapped out for the smallest weedless hook I can find with a soft lure on it. I'm thinking about how carp anglers use tiny hooks for huge fish and take catch and release very seriously. Ill use this will an up to 8g LRF rod, hopefully for Pollock..m
Great idea. I do it with heavier Toby lures so don’t see why it wouldn’t work with smaller lures. Save a few lures to.
I bent my aluminium handle too 😢 where did you manage to get a replacement handle from please? Thanks
I didn’t I bought the new XL net and handle but didn’t like the XL head so used it with the old net head
@TheConstantAngler thank you for your reply. I dont think they make replacement handles with a locking pin system like you have 🥲. Ive been looking all over the Internet for one but only find carp ones... anyway, happy fishing 🫡
Where could I buy these
Try eBay or AliExpress. Here is a link to EBay www.ebay.co.uk/itm/186565678192?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=d9az2whhqnc&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY
I want to give this a go. Do you need deep water
@@hesalovelybuoy5944 it does help but is not essential. Pollack like a bit of deep water and it is easier to work your lures in deeper water
I got the Ryobi ranmi rod you recommended and need to give it a go on the Pollock up here in south Northumberland. I would like to know more about how you basically catch all types of fish on different lures all on bfs lures, all year round
@@hesalovelybuoy5944 just do what you would normally do for LRF but with BFS gear instead. Use 0.6# PE braid to 8-10lb Floro leader and scale up or down to suit the ground you are fishing over.
Hello, good video, for this rod, which is better? A 4000 vanford with 220gr or a 4000 stradic with 275gr?
@@maximcaujape4754 I can only say the Stradic is a fantastic reel. Best I’ve owned
@@TheConstantAngler thanks, but in terms of balance point?
@maximcaujape4754 I would say the Stradic as it is heavier. Most reels are very light and do not help with the balance point
I have this reel but the braking system doesn't seem to work well
@@OneAndOnlyChi it’s not the best with lightest of lures. Try to keep your casting smooth. You can upgrade the brakes by adding a couple of N52 Neodymium magnets of the correct size. Get the thinnest you can
@@TheConstantAngler it doesn't seem like there is anywhere on the shallow spool for the magnets to attract to. It's all aluminum
@@OneAndOnlyChi not had that problem myself
It doesn’t look much but there is enough there. With BFS you need to flick your wrist on the backstroke then push rather than snap on the forward stroke. This is a larger BFS reel so when casting lures below 3gr it is not ideal. If your regularly casting above these weights it could be beneficial to add a couple more magnets. It’s easy to do if you buy the correct 4mm x 0.5mm N52 magnets as you can just place however many you need on top of the original magnets thereby customising it to your needs. I have done this with both the Commando and Acura as I felt they were slightly underbraked. The Commando is effectively the same reel.
@@TheConstantAngler I have an ark gravity BFS and they cast King Zephyr they're braking systems work awesome no problem using light weights and light line this real just doesn't seem to have any breaks

felt gutted for you watching that last one ! interesting about the circles, would never of considered them for mullet,, yet exclusively all i use now for my Tope fishing. glad your liking the Baitrunner
@@CR33DH20 I felt loosing that one. Now adjusting my rigs
Apart from a second hand 123M I've never owned a Daiwa reel until recently. I've just got the EM4000LT which seems OK but not been used yet.Still not sure of the need for 10kg of drag though. The bearing numbers are just a gimmick at times. When you get up to a dozen it seems to me they're hiding shoddy engineering. The old Mitchell 300 managed for years with plain bearings.
@@jorvikangler loved the Mitchell 300 and Match. I agree some of these reels with a high bearing count are just hiding poor engineering
I bought this reel to take on holiday because it was pretty cheap on Black Friday and didn’t want to take my expensive gear as have had bad experiences with baggage handling at airports . Caught plenty of large fish including an 18lb yellow fin tuna which has way more power than anything you are going to catch in uk fresh water and it was flawless
Great to hear. Fills me with confidence for my own fishing. I bet that drag sang with the Tuna on.

Hi Ad, how have you been finding it overall, using a 15ft for float work? until late ive stuck with a 12ft,,, But since being more active again, ive noticed more swims where i could benefit with the extra
Hi mate. It definitely helps having a longer rod but as I have discovered if you have dodgy elbows it can annoy them. Great if you’re fine though. I am concentrating more on ledgering at the moment. Lost a good fish today to tackle failure. 8lb mono breaking. 🤣
