Hi, just watched this. Love the take of that bass, put up a good fight. Made feel excited about catching fish like that. I had few the other week, I use a light spinning rod but with bait (ragworm) . cheers Carl.
Hi Carl, well done👍 Yes it seems ragworms/ lugworms are still the preferred menu. I’m waiting for the mackerels and whitebait to start showing up in bigger numbers, that will hopefully switch the bass back into “hunter mode” 😀. Thanks for watching and tight lines!
@@compactangler Not sure we get many mackerel in our area, well not the short distance I go out in my kayak. Wish we did. If your interested, I posted on YT a couple of videos last week of the bass I caught.
@@carlnewtonfishing6045 Caught a few early mackerels on tiny jigs, but they were on the small size. I’ll have a look at your videos, thanks for the invite👍
Hi, I cook it for 40minutes on indirect fire, then grill it over direct fire for 10 minutes each side. All this depends on the size of the fish. Thanks for watching👍
Class.. can't wait to give lure fishing a go in the sea this week at devon 👌 this makes me eager to try... I fish freshwater with lures .. hopefully not too different 🤷♂️
As I was watching this, I was thinking I bet fish are behind the breakwater in the deeper water, as you can see the tide pushes right to left by the build up of sand and sure enough as it crossed my mind when Bang you were in. 😁👍
Exactly, you’re spot on! I found that bass were generally lurking close to the breakwaters to try trap/ambush the mackerels and whitebait.Thanks for watching👍
Please explain why did you retrieve and then loosen it again ? I did catch the Seabass myself few times last summer on the lure but I just retrieved it straight away from sea
I used light equipment and didn't want to lose the fish. I let the fish run when it wanted to run while maintaining enough pressure. I felt it was a better fish, so I took my time to tire it out a bit.
@@1pikeybob It depends on the setup. With a good balance of the rod’s casting weight and your line’s weight plus the lure’s weight you can achieve distances between 30-70 metres. In a nutshell, longer and heavier rods can cast much further than lighter (and shorter) rods, but they will lack the sensitivity and versatility of the latter.
@@compactangler i stopped selling them , he was an absolute dick to deal with , we could not sell in the EU but the EU dealers could sell in the UK , he was sending guns to us at illegal powers , if we had been done it could have been years in jail (allegedly officer) and then he went and got another dealer in the uk to sell them ...i would avoid them altogether if i were you .

Nice video mate ! I did watch it again. Yesterday I was on this spot till 7,30 pm . Lost 3 lures. Then went to Newhaven. It’s not a time yet for Seabass ?
To be more precise, when mackerels start arriving and you can see whitebait (small baitfish) swimming around, then you can expect to catch bass with lures from the shore.
How do you rate the telescopic rod, i want one for travelling and wild camping so lures for trout and hopefully Bass on the coast in the UK. did you buy it in the UK? also you said the Epixor was a 20 in the vid but in a reply to a comment said a 30...are they decent too?
David Smith Thank you David! The thing with lure fishing is, that everybody has a different style or preference to which gear works best for them. Personally I favour compact/minimalistic equipment as it gives me more freedom of movement and let’s me enjoy fishing more. But to answer your question, in this episode I was using a light telescopic rod: alpha tackle trgr 5-20gr, reel: okuma epixor xt 30, line: kastking braid 10lb, leader: berkeley fluorocarbon 12lb. Hope it helped, good luck and tight lines!
@@compactangler thanks for that bud I also fish light that’s why I switched from pond course fishing to roaming lure fishing mainly rivers for pike perch Zander but with relocating to Cornwall and with no knowledge of any fresh water it’s time for me to switch to sea shore and rock lure fishing I’m pretty sure my UL rods will handle rock pool fishing and my vertical jig has caught me mackerel of harbours but I really want to get into bass pollock etc off the beach or rocks thanks for tips tight lines
Hi, thanks for watching. This lure was about 8-10gr ( I’ve changed the treble hooks, so they’re lighter now) and 9cm long. I usually have 8lb or 10lb braid on as main line and 6lb fluoro carbon as a leader. The main thing is to balance your equipment. If you go light, go light with everything. Regardless of the weight, you want between 6 to 10cm lures if you want to catch medium to large sized bass.
Well done , nice fish . A good size for the table , I would have kept it as well . Rob from Cornish kayak & shore fishing , advocates returning them over about 6lb as the amount of eggs a female produces is huge compared to smaller fish . I haven't had much luck with plugs in Cornwall , most of mine are on soft plastics or SG seekers. But I do think it is more a matter of confidence in the lure you are using. Have you tried filleting them , skinning then cut into goujons , coat in breadcrumbs and frying ? Enjoy with a mayo dip.
bernard smith Thank you, I fully agree as well. I must try the fillet strips, it sounds delicious..thanks for the tip. Interesting thing with the plugs and soft plastics...I have the opposite experience😆. Seems like soft plastics do better in deep water and lures do better in shallow🤔. I never had much luck with the softies, unless I was fishing for pike. Thanks for watching, tight lines!
@@compactangler thanks for the reply, I live near flamborough head but iv never seen anyone spinning from the shore line, only ever see people beach casting, is it worth spinning for bass in this area or isn't it a very good area?
@@jmddetecting5503Bass are a very predatory species, they will hunt bait fish and mackerels in the summer and autumn. If they are around, it’s definitely worth lure fishing for them. Your area is stunning, try fishing the cove in august, either early morning or dusk ;)
Iv grown up spinning for trout and pike, perch in my local rivers its by far my fave rate way of fishing but never though about doing it in the sea from the shore, that's right up my street
Wot time of year is it good for bass fishing got a few caravan trips booked in for next year down south thinking about getting some tackle together thanks
Hi, this rod (length: 8’6) is rated medium-light (5-20gr). A good quality Japanese tele rod is usually in the price range of approx £100-150 (plus import tax). It also has Fuji seat and rings. It can handle small to larger fish up to 5-6lb without any problem. Thanks for watching.
Take a look at the Nash dwarf range. I bought a 6ft and an abu max baitcaster, use it all the time when travelling from Tenerife to Scotland. Don't be put off by its stiffness and "feels like a stick" nature, can lob a 18g toby 50 meters + easy and the baitcaster takes nearly 200m of 20lb. Really small and light setup for £100 all in. It saved me in the summer .. fish pulled over my 10ft shimano catanna on to rocks and 3 of the ring linings fell out. Fixed now .. that's a cracking rod as well but two piece so 5ft.
You know, I re read this and it sounded a bit like I don't like the Catanna. That's not the case, just to say I'm about to get a 2nd Catanna and a 2nd black max as an identical back up for my favourite spinning / light bait rig. The damage occurred when a 2 ft doggie slammed the unattended rod hard onto some large stones. Landed the doggie.
@@compactangler Thank you for coming back so quickly. I will buy a few of those. I never used any lures below 20g so it should be interesting to try lighter lures. To be honest I wasn't very successful last summer on the south east coast, maybe I was not using the right lures and then I missed the autumn season as mentioned in other comment. The tremendous success I had was while on holiday in Devon on metal jigs like the Majorcraft Jigpara 20 and 30g. Can't wait till May!
@@Jack-tn8im Yes, well the main issue with yo-zuri lures is that they don’t cast really well, unless you use a lighter/thinner braid, reason being that they were mainly designed with boat/kayak anglers in mind, unless of course you fish with their magnum/heavy sized lures which they use for their striped bass in the US. On the other hand, yo-zuri’s 3D series lures are very tough, they can take a lot of beating, especially on pebble/rocky terrain.
@@compactangler I use PE 0.8 braid, should be ok? Btw, I watched your Greek holiday vid, so peaceful nobody fishing around. Quite a contrast to our south east shores, particularly during mackerel season 😂
@@Jack-tn8im 0.8 is 👍 Oh, the mackerel season, when the beach is full with angler’s shoulder to shoulder, they cast over your line, etc. Almost got hit by a lead once😅 I try to avoid the popular spots at all cost.
