    Wonderful filming and the sounds of the waves lapping and waders behind you . These features set your channel apart from the rest . Sitting at home in Scotland with winter temps and rain streaming down the windows, this is lovely to see. Well done on the bass , what a brilliant session and many thanks for the great entertainment . Tight lines

      I'm also in Scotland in borders thinking exactly what you've said, I miss the sound of the water as I'm still working on my wee boat also wondering when I'll catch my first bass before I pop my clogs. This is what I enjoyed doing without a rod, just rock exploring amongst the soothing waves.

    Just read (for the first time!) your notes. It’s a shame you have to justify your actions when to any experienced sea (bass) angler you are really ethical in your actions and approach. Thanks for your videos which I really appreciate.

    A really great day's fishing, thanks for sharing it with us.
    I did most of my bass fishing in the late 1950s and our approach was completely different back then. Our ideal sized fish was one between 10 and 12 inches (25 -30cm), i.e., pan size, anything larger were returned, a 42cm one definitely would have been put back. The largest bass I ever saw was 8lb, it featured on the front page of the local newspaper. By the way I did all of my fishing off of the Sussex coast near where we lived.

    I remember a few years ago on the south coast seeing a seal was a real treat and when not fishing still is , but they seem to be around in numbers nowadays which makes me believe our waters are not a low in fish stocks as we thought.
    And I've had days when they completely ruin the sport and fishing is terrible, however it's nice to see they didn't have that impact on your day another great video

    • @SaltwaterAngler

    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

    • @SaltwaterAngler

    What a session Matt! So much for the theory about fishing for bass in bright conditions not being favourable.

    • @SaltwaterAngler
      @SaltwaterAngler  Před měsícem +1

      Bright sunlight may be an issue over very clear water but here in the sandstone , chalk and gulley water it makes less difference

  • @davidburgess2354
    @davidburgess2354 Před měsícem +3

    Great video as usual. Goes to prove what I’ve always thought and experienced through my nearly 65 years of fishing is that bass are relatively easy to catch once you have located them, the trouble usually is “how do yo locate them?” I remember a session in West Pembroke many years ago fishing at midday from a rock mark in gin clear water and it was almost a fish a cast on a Rapala J13 for about 20 minutes and then they were gone. Fished the same mark in identical conditions with the same lure for the next couple of days and not a sniff! Interesting to see so many seals in your video and it begs the question were they trying to trap the bass against the shore in order to predate them or were they attracted to the area in the first place by the feeding bass. Have you ever had similar success on that mark or do you think that it was a one-off where a number of factors all aligned perfectly to give you a great session of fishing?

    • @SaltwaterAngler
      @SaltwaterAngler  Před měsícem +1

      It’s a one off but I knew a mark further down that produces on the ebb so I followed them down tide. The skill in bass angling is finding them when they are finicky and not feeding! That’s when these full time guides earn there salt - thanks David you make some good thoughtful input just what we Saltwater anglers welcome here

  • @stipojovic5830
    @stipojovic5830 Před měsícem +1

    I could not believe what i was watching. To me it looked like a huge number of seals were showing of on your mark.
    Was thinking i must be wrong, i mean it cannot be that you catch so much bass between the seals.
    So i was more than surprised to hear you say that they were in fact seals.
    Unbellievable that the fish were still there.
    Enjoyed your video a lot, thanks for the upload.

    Great little video with some nice Bass. Little Q about the rod: Those Skyline rods are only about 7’ 6” so does the shortness limit casting range ? It seems a bit short for sea fishing. I normally go for a 9’ to 10’ rod and wonder if I am misunderstanding something ?

    • @SaltwaterAngler
      @SaltwaterAngler  Před měsícem

      It’s often debated but I love this shorter length now. Advantages include underarm or back casts flicking out lures so when you have cliffs behind you. You can cast all day vey light weight. Remember this is for my area if you asked a Cornish estuary angling they would say 9ft - no need to cast far here though . Quality important too

      I’ll tell you exactly why- more than one thing can be true. Big tides in Sussex are at 13:00hrs - 14:00hrs also a good time . Because we don’t have gin clear water sun overhead won’t put fish off.
      Early mornings more applicable when daylight hours are less - October for example each mark fishes better at certain parts of the tide.

    Allways amazing that sea anglers don't use a net especially when you are dragging fish over rocks and then releasing them ! Great sport but try to remember not only anglers watching 🤔

    Shares us tons of videos with top fishing marks that he always blanks at. Finally catches some bass and intentionally keeps it from us all. 🫵😂

      @@melonpip if that’s your takeaway from this channel It’s not the place for you- Plenty of other channels out there that show some terrific catches from around the country.
