Lure fishing for Bass on the Hottest August Bank Holiday ever !
Vložit
- čas přidán 28. 08. 2024
- The last long weekend in August was the hotest on record and i went to see if i could catch some bass in amonsgst the huge mackerel and whitebait shoals.
The sea was alive with whitebait which made the fishing tricky but as always i learnt a lot along the way and got reminded of some lure fishing do's and dont's along the way.
Here are some of the lures i used and the affiliate links. I earn a very small amount from these but it wont cost you anymore.

Great channel, enjoyed this. Got back into lure fishing this year after many years. Similair set up to you with same reel, great fun and don't need much tackle to cart about as when bait fishing. Had a few mackerel over in Jersey in May on a tiny lure & you really appreciate their power on a light set up! Also pb bass of 6.4 drifting on a boat off Dorset coast using the same gear, electric fishing that was! The lure rod goes everywhere now, lake, river or sea...
Great comments thanks
Sorry but what size rod and reel do you use I'm starting out
2500 shimano and a 7,8 or 9 ft lure rod rated to 30g
@@SaltwaterAngler thank you, I went fishing for trout the other day and now I got the fishing bug haha
pro tip : watch movies on kaldroStream. Been using it for watching all kinds of movies during the lockdown.
it's a great seabass fishing video. the spot is really beautiful ... very amazing all these little fish on the pebble beach.
Thanks! Although this happens every year I've never seen it in such numbers
I remember about 5? years ago the white bait were beaching themselves in huge numbers and massive shoals of mackeral,people paddling on the beach had mackeral swimming around their feet!
its a spectacle that's for sure
Excellent viewing as usual. I'm in Whitley bay, north Tyneside but the bass are never here in great numbers, but get them now and them mainly while bait fishing. However, when the mackerel show up on the shore and piers, I fish for them on float gear, so much more satisfying.
Great way to fish ! Heading Further North in to Scotland ? Could see some more bass nowadays? Thanks for commenting always interesting how the bass fishing varies across the country
That’s a great video
Always awesome when these guys keep u busy the whole time
those mackerel sizzling oh i can smell them the tastiest fish from our shores by miles
Yea the most underrated fighting and eating fish in the sea
Nice video 👍🏻...lv just brought my pier rod can’t wait to get fishing again its only been 9 year since I’ve held a rod in my hand 🐠🎣
Welcome back!
I love the aul mackerel they can be great fun especially when the kds are fishing with ya they ave a great experience I'd usually bring a throw away barbecue with me n have a little cook up there just delicious
Great video. Got me clicking the subscribe button. I grew up fishing coastal marks around North Devon. Went back in July just gone and it’s not a shadow of its former glory. Is nice to see there are UK marks that still show signs of life.
Great thanks for that. Good marks. Turn bad and new ones get better sometimes. Thanks for the sub welcome aboard
Hey buddy, thanks for the recommendation. I'm used to fishing muskies in Ontario but hope to come to UK soon. Can I ask about the bait you use - I regularly urinate on rotten fish to attract the biggest muskie. In this common practice in UK? Best regard, Cleg Smegson
my favourite way to catch mackerel is using lures like: dexter wedge, abu toby, lrf jigs on the kayak in the summer
Yea! Keep it simple I think that’s the joy
This place is very good for fishing, Congratulations has *beautiful* fish.
Hug and good fishing!👍
Cool thanks
Wow ! Never have I seen so many baitfish in the water and on the shoreline . Think I would have collected some for eating (whitebait )
So, would i
Glad you have some mackerel. I used to catch hundreds each year, ( I'm talking float fishing) but not now - Hardly see them around Brighton My freezer is EMPTY. Mackerel is great BASS BAIT either live or a side flapper. Oh, for a freezer full of mackerel!
Sure been a bit hit and miss. Thanks for commenting
thanks for your reply, we are coming down to tintagel on Saturday and was thinking of bringing a rod and reel. this looks like fun. but I've never tried sea fishing before.
Great location for it
Have you ever caught Tub Gurnard (with bright blue edged fins) on a lure off the beach ?
I caught two during the July 2022 40°C heat wave off Hengistbury Head beach nr Christchurch using a silver Dexter Wedge. I was gob smacked at catching one, thinking I'd hooked a bass. We were meant to be fishing the River Avon for chub, but far too hot inland.
Yes I have , quite numerous and they appear on a couple of old videos. They look great on camera too - I find baited sabikis bounced with the current on the bottom very effective for them.
Amazing video ! Where was that ? What kind of line are you using here ?
Good session mate, the water has been clear for longer than usual where i am. Did well to get a few from in-between the hoards of mackerel.
Yea same here got to make the most of it haven't we! Now with the recent blow its cloudy again! Thanks for your comments
@@SaltwaterAngler well i haven't been able to get out much but looking forward to the autumn for a few late sessions. I've decided to explore some of my favoured marks next year with a bit of snorkeling when it's nice and clear, just to get a picture of what's actually going on where I'm chucking my lures/baits.
Great video! Can't wait to start bass fishing this year. 😁
Good session, looks like Autumn is going to hit early this year though.
Yea not like last year!
Hi great vid, enjoyed it, I’m a newbie and looking to find some fishing spots nearer to London, have tried Cornwall which mainly caught Mackerel. But more interested in bass. Also don’t you keep the fish?
Hi it’s derek from the club (Shimano)
Hi Derek, reference shimano the hagane gearing is brilliant- I’d look at 4000 size shimano but the reel I used out on marks was tiny at 2500 so it can be done - Stradics or banfords in 3500 - 4 would be a sensible choice for you.
The mackerel lure did the job alright
i saw your vid on the 12lb bass you caught, awesome fish, biggest i ever got so far is 3 lbs, i fish off the coast of cumbria.
I am hoping u took a bag of white bait home...a missed chance for a great feed if not..cheers for sharing.
Afraid to say I didn't!
Excellent video… what’s the earliest I can start in west Cornwall… normally start about June but getting impatient…..
I’ve always said you could lure fish year round BUT don’t waste your energy ! Be patient , sharpen those hooks research the marks. Don’t discount pollack and wrasse though !
Great video mate, very interesting
Thank you
Nice video thank you 👍🏻 🎣
Thanks
Thoroughly enjoyed this presentation and it has wetted my appetite for some light tackle lure fishing. Looking forward to your next outing, if you are out and about near Southampton any time soon I’d love to meet up for some on the spot tips.
Hey Mark thanks for your comment! Lure fishing is a great way to go isn't it! Appreciate the offer. I've fished Southampton infrequently but have done well on fly for small bass
Well done similar results down my way. The whole south coast must had been alive with white bait, mackerel and bass.
Ahh was wondering what it was like further west! Great stuff with the best couple of months for bass still to come. Keep up the videos have been watching.
@@SaltwaterAngler it's been great fun the last week or so. Fingers crossed for bass the big will start showing soon 💪
Great angling 👍🏻
Fantastic as always young man
Thanks!
Loving your work and really enjoying the videos! I wonder if I can ask for a piece of advice please? Still a newbie to sea fishing and about to enter the world of lure fishing. Budget was a factor and I cast around (sorry!) for ideas and reviews and decided to start out with an 8’ 6” 5 - 28gm HTO Rockfish with a Daiwa Ninja 4000-C reel. I taken some of your advice on a variety of lures but the question I have is about the leader? I’ve loaded the spool with the SeaKnight Manster 30lb braid - I think that may be a bit over the top but reviews suggested going a little heavier than you actually needed. So to my question, and I’m sure you’ll have covered it in one of your many videos but I’m buggered if I can find it, how long should my leader be if I need one at all? Many thanks and keep up the good work!
Found your beginner’s guide to lure fishing parts one and two and you did cover it - many thanks Matt!
Yea 4ft ish and a google fg knot ! Good luck on your new venture. There are some benefits to fishing with lighter braid too. Remember to use your non casting hand to cup and feel that line coming off the spool
@@SaltwaterAngler thanks for the tip! My first venture with the set up will be next week in Brittany - we have booked a house right on the beach. Done the Google maps satellite recce and there are rocks around. I figure Brittany isn’t too different from Cornwall? Call me an optimist but I just wanna catch my tea!!
in the minute 7:20 i vê seen where u ve placed your fingers, if the sea bass had for some reason escape from your hand, or twisted, you would had a deep and bleeding cut, Thats really sharp just as a knife
Good observation !
Great video especially for someone like myself a very very newby cheers
Can you tell me where you are fishing thank you
brilliant vid thanks
I only use the feathers when I’m hungry 😄
Good thinking!
I live in Wales and often fish Cardigan Bay; not had a single mackerel all year, for one reason and another.
I've heard its been a bit patchy but with a good run off fish earlier last month from Pwllheli beach.
@@SaltwaterAngler Yes, there's a strong element of right-place-right-time about it, isn't there?
Anyway, well done of your catch - always good to see someone getting amongst them!
They are in now Tuesday 3rd in huge numbers if that helps
Excellent video
Thanks
If there are a lot of mackerel about in situation like this. When do you decide to use or not to use a mackerel as a live bait? Too many around and bass is unlikely to pick up your offering?
That’s a good point bass may be after sprats like the mackerel are remember. I’d always fancy my live bait mackerels chances of being found in amongst big Mack shoals because it will be slower and not in a shoal like the others
Great vid well done
Interesting any makeral I caught here in Ireland last year were below average size
We’ve definitely had runs of joeys here too. Maybe it’s nostalgia but I do remember a lot bigger catches.
Great job
Cheers
Wow. The sardines are everywhere. Makes it tough to hook into these bad boys as live bait is abundant. I would like to get an idea of hard lures you're using Sir. Type and weight. Well appreciated. Are they surface leures?
I've put some suggestions on the channel and at the end of that video. Hope that helps. Also in the text underneath. Thanks for the message
You are a better angler than Robson Green 🤫
Ha ha good old Robson green ! I think the editing makes things look easier than they really are.
Deep fried whole, they should taste nice
Will try that this year - whitebait not bass !
That's Awesome!!
Was a strange few days for sure
Muito bom, parabéns e um abraço de Portugal
Who is the guitar music played by please its awesome like your fishing! ???
Hi what was the blue makrell lure calledand is it a subsurface lure?Great video👍
Oh I’m not sure I think it was a daiwa of some sort if I find out I’ll let you know as it was an old one if I remember
Y do you never give the location of your fishing videos. I.E Hastings videos especially.
Lots of marks given away when they are well known or have featured in Sea Angler check out some of the mark guides . Some places have been hard fought by fishing regularly and I encourage us all to get out there and find our own special spots. Very often in life people look for an easy fix , many of these marks are hard to explain and involve risk of getting cut off by the tide or even rockfalls. I don’t want this on my video getting the good people in to trouble. Real Bass Anglers don’t give away marks.
What is the best time of year to catch bass? I want to give it a go but I’m wandering if I’m too late in the season now?
No the best months still to come sept - November my favourite
Any good to collect white bait and save for winter cod?
Worth a go, squid or mackerel freeze better I think
Where do you fish from mate? There is no bass here in Scotland
There’s not too many down here on the south coast either at the moment !
And suddenly thousands of fishblackminnows appeared
Brilliant!
How do you use the lures, do add a weight to it or is the weight of the lure enough, I know it depends on the lure but is there and need to add a weight and where do you put it
With hard plastics you don’t need to add a weight for this sort of shore based fishing. If you use soft plastic lures then you can add a weight that attaches to the hook and is part of the lure . It’s a simple way of fishing clean and lightweight but also expensive !
@@SaltwaterAngler Thankyiu, must try lure fishing, it seems so much kind of sport
I hope you’re eating some of those white bait!
Do you know what Charlie I didn’t ! My future self might though
Could have float fished a live bait. 👍
Another good option. I kind of prefer setting my self up for one or another method though. Love traveling light if I can, although may bring a couple of floats next time.. Not long now
@@SaltwaterAngler i think after spending a fortune on lures for dropshoting and spinning ill be copying you!
Have you tried any of the squid lures like chasebaits ultimate squid or savage salt? Got both and will also give them ago this year.
That mackerel was eager to get in your bag at 1:21
Hi therte did you take any of those fish with you for bait ?
No but I should of done
hi.whats that reel called,also what braid do you use and line at the end.great vid.
Thanks the rod will be featured in the next video along with the reel its the shimano exage and Abu garcia veritas
Do you ever take any home to eat Matt
Yes I do , it’s a bit limited nothing too small or too big but yes if the timing is right
You're a lucky man, i'd kill for conditions like that here, ever! haha
Oh no where are you?
@@SaltwaterAngler West Cumbria, i've never seen bait fish like that here! We occasionally get some clearer water though
Same here! Live in Gloucestershire, sea fishing requires me to have to drive to places. Worst of all, I don't have enough knowledge on where and when to fish
What weight was the rod here?
9-30g that one if I remember
Where was this?
Hi, thanks for asking. Not sharing the exact mark on this one but there are clues and plenty of specific mark guides on the sea fishing marks play list
@@SaltwaterAngler understand completely. I know of a great little cove just near Barmouth that seems pretty much untouched. Had some gorgeous bass out of there on the sand eels.
Hi plz let me know where is place plz plz plz
Where about in South is this place?
Why do you not keep the fish you catch? What is the point in putting them back? Either eat them, bring them home and put them in a bucket or strap them onto a line and fish for seals! C'mon man! Best regards, Cleg Smegson
We have a no take of fish under 42cm for bass plus limited to 1 a day. I understand your sentiments here though and I fish to hunt and not play a game but still I'll take a fish to eat if its the right size and species. As for those seals maan those things scare me!

what county is this please ? only just found your channel.
Hi Mick most of our videos are from the south coast of England but check out the fishing mark guides as I move about a bit when I can. Thanks and welcome to the channel
What about northlincoln shier
North sea
Hi where was this please?
This is on the south coast near to Brighton
BRO WHERE IS THIS PLACE?
Its a secret !
Where is this location please
Various spots on the south coast of the U.K.
Whereabouts is that?
Sorry, but I would stop fishing and collect all that wonderful free food!
Ha ha plenty of it!
Looks great will you share the area with me please
Not for this one I'm afraid! Although I share a lot of marks in the playlists.
@@SaltwaterAngler
Fair enough mate totally understand I wouldn't either 😂😂 but you know the old saying "you don't ask you dont get!! Love your videos pal keep them coming
Tight lines
🤜🦈🐠🐟🐠🦈🐠🐟🐠🤣👍🏽😀👍🏿🇧🇷🇧🇷
The thing we would all like to know is where’s that spot your fishing. Such a typical fishing video lots of tips and info but never do they tell us where they are fishing. Good video but please if you are trying to help people be more successful why not help them out by letting people know where your fishing. This is my tip to you Sir 🤫
Hi Clint thanks for the comment. There is a culture within Sea Angling that giving away marks is a big no no. With some of my videos on youtube reaching 100k this would start to have an effect on my marks personally. Its not necessarily anglers I fear but those with Gill nets would create more of a problem. This mark is not prolific and I only caught achoolies so not so much of a problem admitedlly!
There is a real joy in getting out there and discovering marks for one's self and there are lots of mark guides on the channel and I even show the postcode for many. A recent video I filmed in Devon led to me receiving abuse for giving away the mark! It's a tricky one for for sure and I understand the frustration. For me fishing is not about an easy fix and I hope I give enough clues and tips through my learning to add some value. Please check out the mark guide play list and I hope that helps.
Thanks again for your input and comments, tight lines
Totally agree. To many feather chuckers as there is! Far to many marks have been swamped due to some youtubers. Google earth costs nothing
