Welcome to the channel. I live on a small island in the British Isles: the Isle of Man. We're blessed with a stunning coastline where adventures await. You'll find lots of fishing related content posted here over time, mixed with other explorations.

So happy with this new SPJ setup from Terry at Jigabite. Maxel Rage 20 and Shimano Game Type J 60-160g. Using the right gear makes all the difference

I finally caught a ling!! I've been after one of these for ages and after changing tactics to good old bait fishing, it finally happened. Video to come.

Many thanks to everyone who has supported the channel so far. Documenting my own sibbing experience has been a ton of fun, and to know others out there are enjoying watching my journey means making these videos are all the more worth it. I'll live-draw and announce the winner of the Bison ratchet straps soon! Stay tuned!

Out with the old and in with the new. With the Scout 400 being my favourite sized boat, it's time to invest in a decent trailer to save my back. Road tripping from the Isle of Man to pick up this beauty this week - no more lifting 45kg engines.

Wind noise and to some extent engine idling really became an issue for me in my last video.

After spending so much time researching microphones that'll work with my Insta 360 while remaining invisible, the two options became apparent: Rode Wireless and the DJI Wireless.

The problem with both of these, if I want to avoid syncing audio later I'd need to use a third party adapter which opens a port on my camera, making it no longer waterproof. Not to mention the mics themselves aren't water proof and cost up to £300.

Instead I came across these, and the price dropped down to less than £30 which is incredible. There were £60 earlier this week.

To ensure battery life I went ahead and picked up 2, so my next videos won't contain any of that horrible wind noise.
