Recently, I have started making some videos and placing them on YouTube. As the collection grows, it is my hope that there will be something there for everyone, especially since I am a tridiscipline coach, holding qualifications in coarse, game and sea fishing. At the moment, it is early days but hopefully there might be something here to catch your interest.

Ultralight fly fishing involves one and two weight fly fishing rods used for a variety of species. In this video, a two weight fly rod is used to tackle carp at Bake Lakes in Cornwall.

A short trip to Hatchlands to try out a one weight fly rod and a simple to tie maggot fly.

Pole fishing in the sea is actually a lot of fun and a great way to introduce younger children to sea angling, catching a variety of species. Here Martyn tries the method at Brixham Harbour.

Getting afloat can be great fun at all times of the year. Here Martyn sets sail on the African Queen, out of Dartmouth, for a most enjoyable day after a few bigger fish.

Float-fishing for mackerel is great fun but you will catch a lot more if you know how to prepare the bait properly. Here Martyn shows a really efficient and economical way to do it.

Martyn and Michael try pole fishing with prawns at Brixham Harbour in an attempt to up the size of the fish that they have been having on the poles.

Martyn went to Menorca for a week's family holiday. Here he passes on some tips and details of the fishing that he managed to get in.
