Appreciate the comment and thanks also for subscribing! Certainly agree, whilst I condone gear can help in some ways, it’s not a necessity!

Glad it was helpful!

Interesting point, will take on board! Thank you

Copper lure, will have to try give that a go - thank you

Good mark! It’s been an odd year for bass, feel the season started so early then ended, who knows! At least county sports doing good! 😂

@@bengriffithsseaangling2138 I’ve got a touring caravan in Newgale on a site by pebbles cafe where there are a lot of static caravans, been going for about 8yrs now but the season ended last weekend so have to wait now until Easter before the season starts again. Checked monks haven spear fishing as it’s less busy and my mate had a nice bass around 3lb. Normally dig lugworm then fish Newgale beach at night but started doing a lot more spinning this year.

@@Andy-71 something about spinning being so simple and “mess free” does it for me! Swings and round abouts - tight lines!

@@bengriffithsseaangling2138 I totally agree with you there

I agree. I think certain venues can be tide dependant due to accessibility but generally I agree.

@@bengriffithsseaangling2138 takes some skill and understanding to catch the blighters that's for sure. Flouro is essential in clear waters.

Good question! Is you’re feathering, what size hooks are you using and what type of feather? If jigging, try move through the whole of the channel, from top to bottom of the water then repeat! For bass, they’re far less common, so it’s being in the right place at the right time!

Thanks Larry, a great mark! Appreciate the comment also. Tight lines!

Hi Holly, feel free to email me at bengriffiths97@hotmail.com and we can have a chat via phone? Many thanks

Tidy catch that! Fish cakes?

@@bengriffithsseaangling2138 messed up the fish and ate it from a bowl while crying

I have fished that area quite a few times! Razors are usually on sheltered beaches, I’m not sure if you would get that at Rhossili. You may get them around the sides of the beach, or, at a very low time. I’d suggest going on a very big tide when the tide is out all the way and trying it then.

@@bengriffithsseaangling2138 I've seen someone buying Penclawdd clams before and if there are clams there then there must be razor clams as well. Would you say that River Loughor is a sheltered beach since it is facing inland and there would be less wave energy so there might be more clams living there? And if there is such a thing as Penclawdd clams and it's right by River Loughor. I feel that they might be collecting the clams by that river?

Sounds good! What’s the tool? Is it salty water in air pressure bottle thingy?

You can make one pretty easy, any tube that’s round enough, open on one end. Push down around the clan, twist pull up. I made one that has a plunger type of deal on the top so I can make sure I get enough suction. You can retrofit a bicycle pump for razor clams, works great.

@@bengriffithsseaangling2138 Yes the cylindrical tool mentioned by Chris is way more efficient than the salt method. They're called clam guns.

@@zivkovicable I will take a look - thank you.

This was February time and it fished well, especially for bass. There was mackerel on lures but only Small ones. The estuary is a great spot although I haven’t tried it on lures. It’s a sandy bottom so if be inclined to drag a silver lure, maybe a dexter like wedge, just above the bottom. Do let me know how you get on. Tight lines

@@bengriffithsseaangling2138 hi just a update fished the estuary and had few knocks and one schoolie bass on a 5g metal just flicking along and a nasty weever fish but there were a lot of mullet as well but they’re not interested in the lures thanks for replying

@@Kernow-lerf better than nothing! Thanks for updating me and glad you had a half decent session. Thanks again for commenting.

A mixture pal, at the moment I’m using premier pro.

Hi David, great part of the world to visit! I’ve never met Joe but I’ve heard great things. I do live away at the moment but am taking regular visits to Pembrokeshire. Feel free to drop me an email at bengriffiths97@hotmail.com. - would be great to set something up - take care, Ben.

Thanks Martin, I’ll have to give my camera woman a telling off! 😂

@@bengriffithsseaangling2138 Don't be too hard on her, we all had to learn.

@@bertbigballs she’s pretty good to give her credit! Likely just an off day

Yep - got mixed up.

@@bengriffithsseaangling2138 good wee watch though

Imitate not impersonate...

Haha, cheers mate, appreciate the comment! Happy new year to you

South Pembrokeshire

St Ives headland

Thanks Paul. I’m glad you enjoyed the video 👏

Thanks Andrew - feedback appreciated more than you imagine. Hope you enjoy the videos. Thanks again, Ben

Scare them out of the water

Thanks!

As the legend once said, a dyslexic man walks into a bra

Thanks for subscribing, certainly a great part of the world! Pedal drives are fantastic, especially when drifting in choppy sea, far easier to keep straight and in the right direction. Also great for many other reasons - only downside is the cost! Thanks for the comment and sub 👍🏻

@@bengriffithsseaangling2138 yeah and good for my back I've found 👍 less storage though. Cheers.

Where I’m from they’re here all year round! But generally spring and summer can pull up some bigger catches!

Thanks for the kind words and congrats on the bass! Beautiful part of the world Pembrokeshire but very quiet in the winters! Tight lines

Glad you enjoyed - thanks for the comment! Do subscribe!

Thanks! To be honest where the rods are, there are steps so not much room to set up, further down is flatter so much more for space. It’s flat sandy bottom just over the pier but easy to snag on the way up as there are rocks, I always find lost traces there! When it’s a big tide you’ll be pushed up the steps. Hope that makes sense

@@bengriffithsseaangling2138 thank you very much for replying, will definitely help me when I get to fish the pier

I believe it was Pendine

Thank you!

Thanks David, Really appreciate the support! Don’t forget to email me if you’re after Info re that mark! 🎣

Back to basics as they say!

Thanks as always, certainly seems to be plenty about at the moment which is a positive sign- heard it a lot in the community lately 🐠

@@bengriffithsseaangling2138 there's so many fish about 5lb plus atm, we had 8 over 5lb a few sessions back.

Hi David, yes of course. Feel free to email on bengriffiths97@hotmail.com - thanks, Ben

Thanks, I will try that for sure - thanks again for the comment 👍🏻

Thanks Gunner!

Hey Louis, thanks for subscribing! If you go out straight from Solva harbour on a mid tide it will take you right out into deep water. I park up by the public toilets and use a trolley to take the kayak down to the first slip way right at the top. If you use the slipway further down you have to pay £2.00 and in all honestly the slip way there is so rocky. The top slip way is free and has a fresh stream running down, even on the low tide, which you can drag your kayak down. Fishing wise, scar rock (labelled in the video) is pollack heaven. The deep water before there holds other species but careful for the pots. If you can, download the app navionics. This will show you good areas to fish around the scar! Other popular kayak venues in Pembrokeshire are Porth gain, at brides and any area around Tenby. Best of luck

@@bengriffithsseaangling2138 Wow cheers for the fast detailed reply Ben! Will be sure to use all these tips and I’m likely to be heading out to Scar rock sometime soon. Will download the app now. I’ll be sure to say hello if ever I see you out on the water. Cheers again!

Just had a Google, definitely looks like the Bailey lighthouse! Cracking spot for pollack, also great for big conger if bottom fishing, some monsters off there. Definitely meant to say imitate!! You can fish for wrasse at your feet there, there are some good ones about, just will have a lot of pollock to contend with!

Hahaah, couldn’t agree any more John! North and south it is 😂 thanks for commenting!

The best!

Cheers Gunner! - Plenty of mackies about - definitely going to try get on the bass in the news few weeks! Cheers again for the support and tight lines!

@@bengriffithsseaangling2138 Anytime buddy, its great seeing local channels like this do well.
