I have never seen Southbourne at low water but understood the location of the bar and gulley. Your description and filming have just confirmed for me what I thought was beneath the water and for that I am very greatful. Congratulations on the small eye. 🎣👍🏻 Is the collective known as “a fever”. Do you consider the turn through low to be the ray “time” at Southbourne?

It was certainly good to see it at such a low low! I saw fever too, quite like that. From low for about an hour is definitely a productive time, then about two hours before high up to high, just after the main "push" eases.

nice video, having been a field caster i wouldnt say paul kerry is a big guy, in fact he was tall and skinny last time i saw him and i saw him cast over 260 yrds, i would go as far to say most casters were of slim build but a few of the back casters were bigger, of course that was in the 80s, you seem to have a decent light there, not that i need one but what sort is it please

Brilliant explanation of the otg cast however may be worth considering putting the lead under the rod rather then at right angles to the tip . That gives you instant compression and you can really slow the cast down with the power coming in late as the rod is already compressed

@@christchurchanglingcentre5428 I have a question for you.... what do you think about a bar rig with the cascade swivel clipped in to the imp, the small sprung loaded swivel up top replaced by a Gemini Rotter with the hook clipped in there. In other words, the end of the trace from cascade swivel down to hook clips on the bar the other way round. Why would I do this? Because we use hardback crabs here for hounds. The hook goes in through the back, with a circle hook above it and one set of legs are bound to the trace with bait elastic. The other set of legs flap freely below the crab. It's far more aerodynamic facing backwards, hence the reason for wanting to reverse how it's held on the bar. Thoughts? (Or fits of laughter!!)
