Hopefully that helps as a lot of these lures have done well over the years.
Eastbourne is a great place to fish, why be secretive about it? Share your location to help others. You were once a newbie but it looks like CZcams has gone to your head, you don’t own the spots so share them for other anglers to enjoy, it’s not like you’re going to be there 24/7 is it.
Agreed it’s a beautiful place. Plenty of mark guides on the channel to help Anglers find marks with Eastbourne featuring. It’s always a tricky decision sharing marks with balancing helping newbies too. For me researching and finding your own spots is so rewarding with Bass all along this coastline.
A lot of homework goes into finding spots that hold decent fish. The thing with sharing spots is sometimes it's not only anglers who will come fish the spot, the commercial guys will come in and net the place and take every last fish ruining it for everyone. 👍
All the knowledge is hard one, many hours, early mornings, blanks and lost tackle. Part of the fun is learning the skills to catch bass first year is all about practise and learning your marks. put the hard miles in mate you’ll appreciate catching more😀
Yes finding your own locations under your own steam is rewarding - Love the early morning Bass the best time ( so close in but a live bait mackerel, Pouting Etc is a killer presentation ) by all means keep a few spots for yourself excellent diplomatic answer take no notice of rogue comments your podcasts videos are an excellent human presentation with gaffs and fun comments 😄👍🏽 hope you get a few more early morning action adventures 🐟
This guy is prob one of the most open guys about marks..he got videos showing you marks he fishes and marks you can check out ect..so either you haven't watched his other videos as you would know because you sound like a jealous fisherman?? Also part of fishing is searching and trying new places or same places diff tactics ect..I live around the Gower yet I still know little marks and other people I know have some very good marks yet I don't ask and not worried to be honest..I know certain areas they fish but not the tactics or tides sometimes..and sometimes as other said you have commercial rapers and groups of clowns wrecking a place and some spots are just best left little known and kept quiet between close buddys...also Matt you won't get banned for showing live baiting as CZcams shows big hog hunting with guys blasting shotguns at hogs like ten foot away,,also there many live baiting techniques on here for fishing,,just like to know your way/s as I may try live baiting for cod this winter for a laugh lol..great bass by the way bro!!
Free line Mackerel fishing for Mr Bass. So! well done and very clever. You deserve that for all the effort and technique used.
Great video and really enjoyed it.
Your entitled to keep the marks you want to yourself.
Thanks for sharing the adventure
I love fishing live mackerel during the summer months. Nothing beats that feeling when the line starts tearing off! Great video once again.
cheers!
Yep that initial hot is so exciting
Hit , even
@@SaltwaterAngler or adrenaline hit even.😄
Incredible footage Matt. Can fully endorse what your saying about the Whitebait,Mackerel ,Bass - food chain. About 12 years ago. We were fishing the North - Eastern side of Bardsay Island facing n.east to the sound toward Aberdaron. My mate had a big Bass that got off his peeler, Mackerel everywhere ,that much you could have opened a cannery lol. But my main point was that the Whitebait made the sea looked like it was boiling. Every Sea Angler should experience this phenomenon; it was great to see that again on ye vid Matt. Hi quality as usual. Phil
Thanks Phil , there is a good clue between bass hitting mackerel and mackerel hitting white bait and that’s the height of the gulls that follow. If they are low it’s mackerel if high it’s bass ..... well that’s the theory 😀 it must of been awesome for you to witness on Enlli. There was an old legend from ynispiod on uwchmyndd that one evening in the early 80s a shoal was so vast it stretched across the sound from meudwy to the island ! There were people picking up fish from the same shoal on the mainland and on bardsey ! I doubt it’s true but that place sure has some magic .
Great upload Matt - always something to learn from you! Wonderful healthy looking Bass! May have to come back & watch this again - having broadband issues & CZcams drops them to the lowest resolution to avoid buffering! Thanks - Stay safe & well. 👍👍
Cheers yea it should be viewed at max if you can as there are a few instances of fish to spot on this one
Some lovely videos and great channel, thanks! Very helpful for someone like me who fishes the south coast but doesn't live locally.
Thanks for that 👍
Nice to see you release it to spawn👍
Mate well done! That's a great wya to catch them and the fact it come that close is mental! All the hard work you put in is paying off..
Cheers Michael it’s a very exciting method for sure - seaglo beads on the live bait rig maybe !! check out seaglo here; czcams.com/video/mUYl_WH5ELc/video.html they are the king of lumo angling and this is another great channel to watch
Nice fish matt,Can't wait to try that next year , think the mackerel are truly gone now .
Mackerel still here though !
Cracking Bass, well filmed, you must be a very happy bunny thanks for posting.
Cheers David 9lb but with the mackerel could of been a double !
I do like to see catch and release on Bass, that fish is probably 20+ years old. Well done for releasing it.
Yes should be a good breeder at this size too
Nice one Matt. Lovely Bass.👍
You should show how you rig up your live bait, do you cast it out?? Also any weights used or just hook on the mainline and then macki on?
Free lined with either a big 5/0 circle or a trebble I mix these up a bit with different sizes. This particular fish was a trebble which has a better hook up but doesn’t help fish handling so much.
Brilliant video mate,do youhook up live bait by the tail or back etc.? May give it a go tomorrow morning on the North Cornish coast.
Cool !..I get that big fish like that need to be preserved.....great to see the water so filled with teeming life...gives one optimism ...
Been looking forward to this video. Awesome bass, big well done! 👍
Many thanks , hope your fishing’s going well on the Fishing big channel .... here for those that don’t know czcams.com/users/Fishingbug
Brilliant footage! Thank you for the upload great channel 😀
Nice catch mate
Some great footage ,I'll be out with the lure rod after work this week when the storm has gone ...good work 👍👍👍
Nice, it could be good timing
Fantastic fish and well deserved mate for your efforts.
Thanks Simon appreciate you taking the time to comment.
Great fish mate,Always nice to see.
Thanks again Iain
I caught a beautiful Bass of 8lb.9oz this morning on a 130mm crystal minnow in Lowestoft!
Brilliant ! Well done
Well done mate,I fish lowestoft and Pakefield, but never tries plugs from the shore ,was it an open sandy beach or was there features ,rocks etc
@@tall_ad i hooked it around 10 yards out close at the breakers. Nice big swell on the flood tide and it went off like a bullet at first then decided to head straight into the rocks. Set your drag high because they don't take prisoners because someone messaged this morning telling me he lost a fish of a lifetime a short while ago at childrens corner.
Amazing well done buddy, hoping can get out soon!
I hope so too!
Fantastic bass and great video.
Legendary sea bass🤩🤩👏👏👏
Stunning scenery.
It really is!
Could you tell me the make and size of rod you’re using in this blog please
I was at rockanore last night getting some joey mackerel for pike bait and hooked a 35cm bass on a 60mm black minnow, I had no idea they were present in that location, the schoolies must have come in for the whitebait
Nice one it always seems so cloudy there but at least the tourists have gone from jumping off the wall ! Good ole black minnow
That was cool... Never seen a mackerel fished like that, one to keep in mind next time they come through down here.😎
Nose hooked big singles or trebles
@@SaltwaterAngler Size ones too big? Only because I've got lots of size ones that are really no use to me as i had the the wrong size hook delivered..
2/0 treble or 6/0 single can be effective.
Great Bass, another good watch 🎣👍🏻
Cracking fish, no wonder your well pleased. Great vid thanks, really enjoyed it.
Glad you enjoyed it
What a cracking bass . Well done. 😀
Hi David, thanks I was aided by it deciding to hit the beach!
Hey , great channel! Was wondering how you work the komomo . I got the 145 sf mainly for bluefish in mullet colors and i wonder whats the best way to retrieve it.
Hello sir, thanks I tend to retrieve slow but with occasional drags , leaving it. A lot depends on tide and current and what the bass are up to. If they are chasing baitfish I’ll retrieve faster but it’s also sometimes with leaving it on the surface too ! So yea everything !!!!
@@SaltwaterAngler thank you very much! I had a feeling this lure is meant for very slow retrieve.
Wow mate great fishing just liked and subbed
Welcome aboard ! Hopefully some more bass to come this year
Awesome,well-done mate👍🎣🎣
Appreciated thanks Jeff
Still plagued with the tiny 5" mackerel down here in Exmouth. First keeper bass 6lb today in 2 week, been all little 8" bass recently, think the fresh rain water pushed the bigger ones out deeper.
Interesting funny how it goes , think baitfish playing a big part too
Bravo à toi, une magnifique c'est sûr de pêche.
Boom! Monster!
Fantastic fish well done🦈
Thanks very much
High Matt, great video, nice fish too.
Was that one of the cobalt range of rods that you are using in this film ??
Looks very much like it,is so what rating is it ?? Please.
On your honest review of the favourite colbolt 902m , and Henry Gilbys glowing testimonial and write up I am waiting for mine to arrive.
I hope it's a good'n, as I am not a novice but willing to try it as its been given such a glowing accolade, and it's the lighter end of the weight range, so looking forward to using it soon.
Any other recommendations in this range?.
All the best for now.
Les.
yes theres a review of it on the channel . Also some other recommendations in our beginners guide to lure fishing.
Did it arrive have you used it ?
@@SaltwaterAngler yes have watched with great interest, although not a novice angler, there is always something to be learnt, isn't there.
I have been fishing for more years than I care to remember, now 68, I started at around 5 or 6 years old.
One of my best ever spinning results was a 5 3/4 LB bass, caught on an 8ft fibreglass rod, a mepps spinner, fixed spool reel, sorry can't remember the name of it but, have a very clear picture of it in my mind.
It's nice to get back into some spinning/ plugging, and some of the more recent lures that are now on the market, even going to have a go on the fresh water scene as well.
Looking forward to it too.
All the best 👍
Les.
Forgot to mention, that Bass was caught on Hemsby beach near Grt Yarmouth.
That was great watching this again...
Did you free line the live bait or use the rig you posted with a treble?
Tight lines
B
Thanks yea free line on this occasion
Mint Bass well done fella
It always surprises me how close the bass will come.
Yeah your right.
Most the bass I have caught are in really shallow waters.
I wonder why?
Hounding the bait fish !
Love the vids pal keep it up 👍 great bass 🐟👍
Thanks for your feedback
FANTASTIC, top man this fella
Thank you kindly
Nice bass 😎, i was just wondering how far you chuck the live Mackie out, i am always weary it will come off or kill it if i cast it out to far..
6ft and let it do the rest
Awesome! I’ve been wondering if people use that technique of live baiting mackerel from the shore with a lite rod! Would love to try it some time! How did you rig the mackerel up for it?
Freelined treble hook though the nose
Beautiful fish ...
Stunning fish, always lovely on a swim bait. How long do the Bass and mackerel stay for in Autmn?
It seems to be a later and later season every year - I’m going to stick my neck out and say this is still a possibility in November
Not sure about the Mackies but I still had Bass in December last year.
Great video. Not easy filming and fishing. Not easy catching a 9lb bass! (Even on filthy bait lol). Well done. It easy making such a well narrated edit. What is it with pious sea anglers and secrecy. It’s so boring. l’ve had a self declared expert shoot me down for saying I caught a mullet in Christchurch harbour. Still…nothing like a hater to help a channel along. I’m still waiting for my first one 😂. Thanks for sharing and keep em coming.
Cheers for that, Not sure why your comment went unseen ? I have noticed some really top Anglers share more secrets than average ones like me. But its not top secret that there are Mullet in Christchurch harbour !!
Check out Fishwish here;
czcams.com/channels/TTt7gc2ZjsfcMWEiqnTt4w.html
@@SaltwaterAngler the guy that sent me a long rude letter has taken out more anglers on Christchurch harbour than I’ve had hot dinners. Including a full camera crew…twice! Some people just like things for themselves. Thanks for reply and keep up the great work. I don’t get much time for watching CZcams but enjoy your stuff. Thanks for the shout out below, too.
Wow that's a cracking bass,mackerel are like rocking horse poo round the IOW ! Would you try live baiting for them ? (Bass that is !)
Pouting a very good second best
Very nice video. Where is this place of makarel because I tray many place on this yer for them and I don't have any lake. Alowys I just fishing only makarels(o love so much this flavour of fish)
They are everywhere at certain times
Nice bass
She was a beauty, I’ll remember this day really great fun
Hi
Can you recommend a decent/budget spinning rod please? And reel 😄. Maybe under £80 (If you can get decent for that price)
A lot depends where your fishing - if you drop me an email at Matt@saltwaterangler.uk and I’ll send you some recommendations I’ve written down
Beautiful fish..very dynamic ecosystem...where is this?
South coast near Brighton is the most I can say for this one
May I ask, how did you hook up the live bait, did you place a single hook through the lips or through the body?... lovely fish btw
Treble through the nose or a big circle hook
@@SaltwaterAngler Thanks, clever way to catch a bass with all the mackerel shoaling
Fight was a little underwhelming...but that's fishing for you!! Superb fish none the less, well done. Question Matt - how old would a 9lb bass be??
I will check as I took a scale sample. These measure its age by rings a little like rings on a tree and I should be able to find out the good growing years too.
1 lbs with bass equals one year, so a 9lbs bass is 9years old:-)
Sort of. It’s interesting to look at big growing years and the conditions
Do mackerel come right up to the shoreline before sunrise consistently or was it just good timing you were there?
Luck I recon
Hi saltwater do you do boat fishing or inflatable boat fishing any of them
Yes, kayak fishing ! Had a break this year but back on it 2021. Most of my fishing was done from a kayak even before it was thing in thing ! There’s a few videos on the channel but I’ll make more of it next year
Hi did you take that bass fish home
not this time, i do on occasion but not something like a double
well done ,beat my 8lb 1oz i caught 2 weeks ago on the Patchinko in the dark , did you find any easter eggs lol
Damn those Easter eggs ! I think any fish over 5 lb is a proper bass. But imagine how a 20lber would be ! Or that french 24lber that was net caught - there’s always a bigger beast I suppose
@@SaltwaterAngler , i also caught a 5.5 last week it fought harder than the 8 pounder ,caught it with the smaller Patchinko 100 size ,i want to get the next size up now the 125 ,the 8 punder took the larger pachenko , tight lines from north wales ,
Where about is this?? I would love to have a go myself
It would be remiss if me to say exactly where but fish like this can be caught almost anywhere on the south coast from Cornwall to dungeness
UK fish cam this is at the ledge in Eastbourne!
Gr8 video m8 .... Good watching
Thanks Robert appreciate your comment
Great bass
Hi how are you ! Thanks for all your comments again
Carry your rod backwards! Else you'll snap the tip òff, sooner or later! .... I did, cos I didn't & take note of Grandads advice! 😂 x
Ha grandads know best ! You made me think actually I do carry it backwards but swap it round to make the filming look better !
Whats the live bait rig did you cast it back out far?
Just a treble directly on to the fluro. Not cast just dropped in to the water in front of me
@@SaltwaterAngler an is it just lip hooked or? Cheers mate
Is that a spring or a neap you're fishing buddy?
Inbetween
I really enjoy neaps because it involves less wading through sticky estuary mud at my favourite spot and doesnt chuck so much weed down. A lot of bait fishing guys love the springs because the fish cover more range.
Just found the channel and love it. Really useful as a relatively new lure fisherman.
Cracking stuff 👍
Nice one maybe check out our guide to watercraft or lure fishing on the channel. I was always told that the big springs bring fish off the wrecks and in to the beaches and shoreline .However mine and friends catch reports do not back this up and in fact it’s the opposite with some of my best fish coming on neaps! It’s a world of contradictions
wow nice bass
Glad you like it!
Great Bass."
There's a few too many adverts!
Thanks John. I will get that changed
What rod and reel are you using?
Check 1 minute in on the latest video Oska
The lure choice should have been obvious- Sea fishing for Bass
AmaZing
Is that Brighton?
Very close yes
Typical, you put your biggest lure on for big bass...and end up catching bloomin’ mackerels 😂
Nice catch btw🐟
P.s: I might see you around the coast one day, tight lines!
🤙
If Mackies grew to 10lb plus they would , I am sure ,out fight a Bass of the same weight. love catching single mackies on light gear.
That’s a good point the dubious 6lb mackerel from Berry head would be some fish ?
@@SaltwaterAngler I am very much a novice sea angler, with a Rib 15 hp and Perch and Pike gear only , never heard of a Mackerel bigger than 2lb, it would be fantastic to See a Mackerel over 3 lb ! Thanks for your great vids...learning lots from You , Slippy limpets and The Fish Locker and TAF....LOVING IT ALL !
Top class👌👌👌👌👌
Love these big female fish
You should buy a stick. 6 ft stick. Forget the rods, reels and lures. Smash'em :D
Ha ha yes a mini rod
@@SaltwaterAngler I'd say a well targeted warhead with very tiny COP ;)
Not sure I could put a fish like that back.....
very true
I totally disagree, keep your marks to yourself ! There is nothing worse than giving hard earned knowledge to a novice angler them catching fish and giving it large about what they have caught ! When truth is they were only fishing at that mark due to the knowledge passed on by a experienced fisherman who has put the days ,months ,years on the beach ! Including all those blanks but keeps going . If you want fishing to be easy ! Get a game on your phone or computer ..
Its such a balance, I think some venues are well known and its o.k but others are not for sharing, always encourage us to get out and find that special spot, theres better marks than i fish guaranteed
You lost me at live baiting using a fish. Shame.
It’s not for everyone , thanks for the comment
