- On this glorious day, I hoped on the boat and went over to Herm Island to do some lure fishing for bass. I'd fish a few marks which are all fairly different. With nothing but my rucksack and my rod in hand, I ventured round the island on the hunt for some fish.
After a bit of a slow start, I began fishing one mark around low water. This is when I soon came into some bass. It was a thoroughly enjoyable day with some brilliant weather too.
Please check out the full video to see how the day went 🎣
ROD - 9ft Shimano Aernos 7-35g
REEL - Shimano Nasci 4000
LINE - 26lb Daiwa J Braid
LURE - IMA Sasuke 140

Cal, your vids are top notch. For my money, you are the go to guy for straight up fishing that I like to watch from your part of the world. All of you Guernsey guys do things well but for fishing that I like, you da man!
Hope your hand is well! All that fish have been there.
Haha, thanks very much. I really appreciate it! I just try to keep it simple and enjoyable to watch. My hand is completely fine thanks, it really wasn’t that bad thankfully. I'm glad you're liking the videos! 👍🏼🎣
would be interesting to put the go pro on a long pole and drop it into that swell circa 10 mins in so we can see whats going on down there
Cal I feel that since you are a chef the more you can show of cooking fish the more your channel will grow.
Thanks for being a brilliant fishing channel
Thanks a lot, i appreciate it👍🏼 I'll keep doing the odd cooking video too. Cheers.
The bass and mackeral are here in force in Cornwall now . BASSSSS ONNNNN lol tight lines
Brilliant.. You’ve got some people very excited with all those fish! Bring on the bass. 👍👍🐟🐟🐟🐟
Cheers Nigel. Summers just around the corner now 🎣
Brilliant!Enjoyed that.Nice one!
I know you got injured, and I'm sorry about that, but this has been my favourite video so far lol
A beautiful day with stunning scenery. The tourist board ought to be sponsoring you. Bonus fish too! Great job
Haha. Cheers mate 👍🏼
SPECTACULAR VIEWS
Love the shadow shot 👍🐠
One of the better movies, no blank this time. enjoyed this episode. know how it felt. Ouch Ouch, get well soon. That the fish still tasted delicious. greetings from the Netherlands scheveningen
Nice one,stay safe out there. Cheers from Portugal 👍
OUCH! Worth it for such a good bass though, Cal. Another great video, thanks for uploading!
Subscribed , great raw footage and well presented Cal 👍
Thank you mate. Much appreciated 🎣👍🏼
Great video Cal
Paradise on our doorstep
Cal great video as always stunning location!!!! Get yourself a small collapsible and extendable trout net. Super light and easy to carry never have that issue again
That first mark can be cracking at dawn but it means fishing all-night. You certainly had nice weather for a Herm trip
Yeah dawn as the tide is flooding will be good. 🎣
Another cracking video. You could've edited out barbs accident but it became a helpful teaching moment. Many thanks and hope all healed now. 🎣🎣👍👍
Thanks a lot. Yeah all good now cheers 🤙🏼🎣
Fabulous video Cal, one of the best!
😀😎🎣
Enjoyed that mate ahh the perils of bass fishing love from Ireland
Thanks mate. Appreciate it 🤙🏼
Great video once again! Getting me motivated for this year's fishing! 🎣
Im glad you liked it. Hopefully you have a good season!🎣
Really enjoyable vid. Thanks Cal.
Thanks 👍🏼
Just brilliant Cal 👍🏻
Thanks mate 👍🏼
Great video Cal, what a stunning day! I was really pleased I had crushed my barbs when I had the same situation over here last summer
That was lucky 👍🏼
Awesome session and awesome views and weather - thank you!
Thanks a lot. Glad you liked it! 👍🏼
@@FISHINGWITHCAL Hoper your hand is on the mend - been there, done that.. 🤣
That first bass was chaos 😂. Beautiful fish, stunning weather and location.
Spiked myself with a treble a while back. Bass on one hook the other hook went down the side of my finger nail up past the barb. I'm at the bottom of a 10 minute cliff scramble and atleast 45 minutes from a hospital. Unhooked the fish first then myself. Very sore indeed 😂😂
Brilliant session there mate 👍
God! I bet that picked for a while after! I was lucky for sure, I've seen some really nasty ones before and always hoped it wouldn’t happen that badly to me. Thanks for watching the video! 👍🏼
Great video . You were lucky that treble didn't go into your thumb. Last year I had my treble go into my thumb. My own fault as didn't use pliers to take hook out- only time. Spent over 1 hour in hospital getting it out. Lesson learnt . I have pliers available in front pocket at all times and this year I'm using savage gear fishing gloves to avoid hooks etc. That was only hook I didn't crush my barbs also - typical. Great video as always cal.
That's unfortunate! Nearly all the time, i wear gloves too. Sods law, i take them off and that happens. It's how it goes sometimes, lessons learnt yeah. Cheers 👍🏼
Nice one Cal !! Snazzy t shirt too !! When's the merch coming out !!??
Haha. Maybe some point. Cheers 🎣
Went beach fishing today, 8 hours and only got a tiny spider crab, going rock fishing tomorrow
Another nice video Cal, you must be weeks ahead of Wales, we're still nine degrees and murky. If you don't mind me saying your reel looks like it would take another 50m of braid, no problem. I fill my Shimanos right up to the lip, no windknots and you can cast the lighter lures much farther. Just don't try it with a Penn.
Cheers. It’s hit and miss here. One week it’s warm and sunny and the next week it’s freezing cold again. Water temp is roughly the same.
Yeah I’m a bit short on the braid. It was a 150m spool, I had roughly half a spool left so that’s all that went on. Saved me having to buy a whole new spool this time. 👍🏼
Felt ur pain , had something similar not nice , but hey nice bass !
very nice adventure man,
that bass must have got its a little bit of revenge sticking those treble hooks and sinking your rod in the water..
learning from you man, I will be following you to see what you are up to,..
Tight lines and screaming reels!!!
Thanks a lot! 🎣🤙🏼
Really great video Cal. Shame about the bass, but they are excellent for the table. You really did suffer for your sport. I walked around Herme a couple of years ago. It was a stunning island . Sadly I was without any tackle. Stay safe and tight lines. Mike.
Thanks mate. Yeah it’s a beautiful place. Always worth having a rod to hand 🤙🏼🎣
Hi love your vlogs I'm new to using Brad do you ever suffer with wind knots as today ever cast sick of them .😢
Thanks mate. Yeah wind knots can happen but 90% of the time it’s to do with how you’ve spooled your reel. It could be under filled or over filled.
Great video mate, agree regarding the IMA lures... never fail !! Try using the salt skimmer surface lure, great fun, 👍
Thanks a lot 👍🏼 I have the salt skimmer in the same pattern as the other IMA lures. I've not used it that much though, I'll get some good use out of it this summer.
@@FISHINGWITHCAL looking forward to the future videos mate, keep up the good work.
Great stuff Cal as usual,might be worth investing in a Penn Slammer,I've had lots of drama with dunking non-sealed reels especially Daiwa's so I went straight in for a Spinfisher VI but going to get a Slammer now. I couldn't trust a Shimano after a dunking like that.
Thanks. I rinsed the reel pretty well and have used it since and it’s been fine. It’s taken a bit of a bettering that reel, I’ve been using it for a good two and a half years now. I don’t do much surf fishing so I’ll probably stick to Shimano reels for now. I find Penn reels quite heavy, they’re tough as hell but for lure fishing I prefer a lighter reel. If I do end up doing some surf fishing I’d get a slammer 👍🏼
Ouch! The reason I use soft plastics 99% of the time now! One hook and not 3 flapping trebles Lol
Trebles can be a nightmare for a few reasons. Singles are far easier to unhook etc
Me too, especially at night. I can unhook a fish and be into another in the time it takes to deal with trebles. Singles hook up and stay hooked for me too.
A net would prevent the damage caused by dragging fish over rocks.
It would yeah. I should carry one with me more often 👍🏼
Awesome 👌 I'm just starting out with lure fishing for bass, really looking forward to getting out there 😀 I'm starting out with using some quality mono for the time being until I learn my way, once I do decide to use braid, do you tend to use a barrel swivel to tie the leader to braid or knots? Thanks 😊
Thanks. If I was you, I'd go with braid straight away. It's no different casting etc with braid than it is with mono. You will feel everything through the braid also, therefore giving you a lot more feedback on how the lures working. I use a size 8 barrel swivel most of the time to attach my leader. I use knots for leaders on my beach rods but swivels work for me for lure fishing. I also carry half a dozen pre tied leaders with me.
@@FISHINGWITHCAL thanks for the advice, what braid would you recommend using?
@@samlomer9988 That's a tough one haha. There are so many. I use Daiwa J Braid 8 strand in 26lb. I really like that braid but it is a little pricey. Something like Spiderwire is a bit cheaper and not bad though. Maybe see whats in your local tackle shop and go from there. You want something with a thin diameter too 👍🏼
@@FISHINGWITHCAL awesome, thanks so much again, for the advice, really appreciate it 😀
Do you ware gloves to stop being spiked
The funny thing is, yeah i do. 95% of the time i wear gloves for that exact reason, however, i got quite warm so took them off and that happened.
One word mate ..bogas lol
Use them lol
Which ones do you use? I’ll have to get some.
And that is why i dont use trebles ! Happy bleeding !😠☠
👍🏼
