Hi Matt I'm going on holiday to Weymouth, Chisel Beach. I'm a fresh water angler, but I've always fancied a go for bass. Is this area any good for bass fishing? Thanks Pete

My furthest casts are on a 10 foot fast action 15g - 40g rod, with a 4000 series spinning reel, with 18lbs braid and 25g Kilty catcher metal lure. Standing sideways with the feet 3 feet apart , pendulum the lure away from rod tip and step forward as you pump upper hand grip outwards and bottom hand grip quickly rotating towards your body. A 300 to 350 foot cast is common with this method. Still can't beat using my RC plane to fly my 5 ounce lead weighted gear out to mazimum reel line distance and drop it where i want.

The inside of the arms used to be banging fishing mullet bass mackerel nice rocky calm water the rich have spoiled it now

Seen this a few years ago in Weymouth

Hi im wanting to up grade my rods and reels and im in two mines as to which reels to get between sonik avx 10000 or the penn surfblaster lll what one would be your advice to go for many thanks peter

Looks in distress.

We're those zonks sw model (sinking model) ?.

Perhaps you could finish by showing a still with all the lures laid out and their names next to them, that would be great

Mate hit that pier with fresh king prawn.. smooth hounds love em also macrol for bass and conga

not so good

Enjoyable video, liked it.

Used to fish here almost every day when I could as a kid late 80s / early 90s. Dustbin lid plaice wasnt uncommon. Eels on the edge of the muck about 1m or water. Congers much rarer back then , did hook one which was talk of the town for a few weeks but it stripped my hook on the winch up - lesson learnt. So many good memories . Great video.

Sea fishing in the UK is very hard going, but we love it!

A needle and black needle in evening my lure

Only wish Hastings Pier was still as it was. Spent my Childhood on there in the Early 70s. Fishing was fantastic.

Do you crush down the barbs ?

When you said you spoken to a couple of locals amd said you should of been hear yestaday! Haha that is always the way isn't it that pritty much happands to me every time I go sea fishing 🤣🤦🏻‍♂️ great informative video and we'll done on putting up with the wonderfully July wether 🤣🤣 tight lines matt

Rapala Skitter Pop 12 should be there as well

What to comment here. Brits should be lucky to have bass that will hit lures during the day. Here, catching bass during the day is turbo capital catch. U catch more bass in one session than me or my friends catch in a whole year. Temperature changed, so we got bluefish now. Dont get me wrong, bluefish is good for spinning, but it takes a lot of gear. Greetings from south Croatia

Fishing vídeo amazing, Congratz! 🎣🐟👍💯

If your going to go again .phone prime angling . They will tell you how it's been fishing and what has been getting caught . 4 hours up and 2 down is best . And a weekday is always a better option.

No fish but I bet you have a plan for next time 😂 live bait on a float next video please ❤

Very good video mate I have just subscribed and hit the bell. Thanks. A video that you can see being made and not the person making it. I will certainly watch all the rest of your videos. Take care and stay safe. Tom.

If u wanna catch bass innthe surf ,use mackeral . Not mant bass ome up on squid .

Its not a reef its bedrock and sand . Fishes much better from september after a blow or during very windy weather in the surf

Get down there at low tide when its blowing 30mph plus and get a big bait in the surf , big bass from september onwards

Think you got Newhaven a bit wrong that's Pagham there mate

Really enjoyed this video, thanks again!

Fish the end with squid, catch nice hounds and conger.

Awesome again Matt great looking pier a bit like the old Hastings pier , sham no fish , it's the same old u should have been here yesterday ,still cold wind and picking up rain forecast 4 rest of week and into next week .Happy catching from Australia Nick

I've never finished there. A very disappointing couple of blank sessions. It seems that the flow was no better than the ebb tide. What a shame that you can't fish from that other platform. It didn't look too unsafe, nothing that couldn't be easily fixed anyway. Have you ever fished from Bournemouth pier? Way back in the late 1950s I always did well there. By the way just being curious what does it cost to fish there, I assume that unlike in the olden days they charge nowadays.

Whenever I see a new video of yours, I get so happy 😊. Thank you

Hi im just getting back into sea fishing. My question is, dose the crimps not damage the line? TIA Andy

Great session Matt Thanks for sharing at least some fish were included, even though others caught them Nice to see the area I wonder what it would be like for winter fishing Have you fished the beach there Thanks again

Love your videos mate, I live near Portsmouth and I'm trying to get back into fishing, learning a lot from your other stuff as well!

When the water is clear, lure fishing by the life boats in shoreham is incredible ! Should definitely check it out

Fishing there would be a nightmare but each to their own.

Loving the drone shots Matt

Yummy pouting are delicious

Good old Worthing pier haven’t paced them boards for a year or more now but a great watch mr saltwater . I’m not much cop but here’s my take on past attempts …rays and conger as well as pesky dogs in dirty water and east side ( always fishes better on east side) where regulars where is more favourable than when clear but does fish well off the end ( if not closed) in early summer for bream in clearer water . Gars can be caught on east side where you fished in March close to the bottom in clear water(then they disappear) they then come back in September, west side landing stage is good then for them on calmer days ( last year a marlin was allegedly chasing garfish off the end) . September onward is good on the right tides you can fish till ten ish and a bit of darkness is a massive improver to take advantage of . Bass are always there my favourite for fishing for them is live bait ( small wrasse pout or even baby bream fished under the pier on the east side before the amusements. Favourite bait for rays is squid/ sand eel wraps, dogs love mackerel as do conger . Best I stop now before you get bored of my waffle but one last thought is how different things are now from my heydays in the 70s/80s before we lost the weed beds offshore then it was flat fish common eels mullet and schoolies.. call me nostalgic but I preferred those days 🤷 thanks for sharing your video

If no overhead casting is allowed. how do you cast?

Takes me back to the late eighties when my brother and I as kids would fish Worthing pier, when visiting a great uncle who lived in Worthing at the time. Basically learnt a lot about sea fishing from the hours spent on that pier. Not been back in at least 25 years, but can remember catching plaice, sole, dabs, small bass, rockling etc.. nothing big but always seemed to be plenty of fish around in those days. Can remember seeing a shoal of garfish under the pier supports on one trip.

Love the pier ,just up the road from me ,don't get on there often enough Next try Selsey 👍

Thanks for sharing Matt. 👍👍

great vid as always Matt

Another great video and welcome to worthing pier, it definitely has its day, I had a look around yesterday afternoon and didn't see anything come up. Good fun lure fishing in waders over low water all around worthing. Well worth a go if you are down this way when the conditions are right.

hy, I fishing on Rotterdam and the current of water is so strong, what type of lure to use ,weight or your opinion to mention that they ar many stone and structure under water and the snug come so fast
