- Back on the reef and back after bass, big ones at that! This episode sees me landing my second largest shore caught bass using simple tactics, holding the rod, big smelly baits, standing up to my chest in the surging sea, waiting for that arm wrenching take that can mean only one thing...BIG BASS ON!!

Great video, Chris. I've never even been sea fishing, but i can see why you enjoy it so much 😀
@@Tinsley68 Cheers Pete! Even after 40+ years still get the same excitement going out! Very like going for a blast on the bike but much safer! 😂 Hope you're good and all the best! 😎
Great video, nice to see some rod in hand fishing for bass. Subscribed.
@@chrisprice8652 Cheers! Can't beat holding the rod!
Well done on some good Bass. Local to me too, I'm using a 10 inch rotten bottom on the same leger rig so only lose the lead not the fish majority of the time. I don't use a pennel it's too rough. Tight lines as you say 👍👍
@@simonknox5580 Cheers! Rotten bottom is a good idea, I do use it at times when I know the ground is particularly rough and casting a larger distance, during that session and most of my reef sessions I'm casting in to clear, sandy/chalk bottomed areas that I know at close range, moving to different spots as the tide floods. Tight lines!
Gurt lumps 🤙🌊
Back at it after more lumps as we speak!👍🐟😎
Go 'ed lad!
@@fishermanswilbert8923 Cheers Ste! ♥️ Defo have to come down for a session at some point! 😎
Definitely the type of ground I'd use a pulley rig.
Great fish that first Bass, my p.b is a 10 late last year and used 1/0 varivas j hook and a 1/0 sakuma octopus hook as the pennel hook.
Hello mate, when I first started fishing the reef I used a pulley pennel, on that particular ground it resulted in snagging and lost gear, experimenting between myself and two other mates who I fish with we found a basic running ledger much less prone to snagging, the vital thing we found is holding the rod at all times and feeling the lead down on the cast, as soon as the grip lead touches bottom it's held on a tight line and not moved, the lead/circle hook acts almost like a bolt rig, the takes are vicious and tight to the fish immediately. 99% of the time the circle is perfectly in the scissors 👍 we do lose gear, but surprisingly little using this method. 10lb a bass of a lifetime! 😎 Where are you based?
@@hooklinetrigger4576 Hello buddy, I guess it's what you're used to when choosing a rig.
I've always used a pulley pennel as it keeps the bait secure during the cast and allows for a further chuck.
I fish open beaches 90% of the time and usually when there's an onshore wind so getting distance to reach gulleys can be difficult with some rigs.
I was out Sunday evening and had a 4 pounder which made great lunch on Monday 😀.
Missed a vicious bite which almost pulled my rod off the rest, more than likely 5+.
I know what you mean regarding a running ledger being tight to the fish but having a bait that isn't clipped always make me wonder if the line has wrapped above the lead on impact with the water which doesn't do any wonders for bait presentation or confidence.
Don't say that 10 pounder was a fish of a lifetime because I want another this year haha.
I live in North Wales.
@@richardjones2811 Ah, got ya 👍 pulley perfect on open beaches at distance, definitely my choice of rig in those conditions. The exciting part of fishing the reef in the vid is it's really close range fishing, at your feet sometimes, I've had bass erupt out of the water less than a rods distance on the take, very exciting! If you say it's a fish of a lifetime it'll trick the fish gods into letting you have more! 😂 Can't beat those rod out the hand takes, I rarely fish more than one rod, sometimes hound fishing ill use my contis on a rest, bait runner set but can't beat feeling those takes, especially a ripper! I'm from Southport originally, used to go Llandudno often on holiday, some lovely coast there. The only fishy family eat is what I catch, my nippers are spoilt scoffing wild caught bass in the regular, very satisfying!
@@hooklinetrigger4576 Nothing better than waders on and standing in the surf feeling for the bites.
Most of the time I just hold the rod and wait for Mr Bass to snaffle the worm.
Akios fury 420 matched with a Surfblaster MK1 7500 is light enough.
West shore Llandudno can produce some very nice bass but also eels as it's an estuary.
I love that double knock you get first with a Bass, like it's the way they stun the prey then they come back for it.
Spoilt around here really and on the odd occasion I'll go to Anglesey on the lures.
Know a few amazing marks there for both Bass and Sea-Trout off the surface which is very exciting.
Sounds like you've got some great varied fishing there, we get sea trout in our estuaries, particularly the River Adur, I fish there on the fly for the bass and mullet, vids of that coming soon. Double knock 💯 them stunning/ bashing the bait with their gill rakers 👍 had one last night, nothing big but nice to be out as always. 😊
What is the app you're using on ya phone ????
@@karldouglas4997 It's just Google maps with the satellite overview 👍 I'm going to do a video on how I use that Google earth and navionics in conjunction it as it's a powerful tool.
can I ask a serious question: why dont you keep this bass? or do u always catch n release?
@@durbanmedia It's a great question, I do take for the pot occasionally but have a strict size limit of 42-45cm, which is essentially the legal minimum size. A bigger fish like this is a breeding fish, as bass increase in size the amount of eggs they produce is huge in comparison to a 1lb weight difference, say fish weighing 4-5lb the 5lb fish will produce a huge amount of eggs more than the 4lb fish, the 1lb extra weight makes a big difference, so you can imagine how many eggs a 8lb+ fish produces. 👍
@@hooklinetrigger4576 thanks for explaining that! caught me a flatty this morning(just a lil one). can I ask if that 42-45cm means if it is 46cm u wont keep it, or are u going by weight say if its 4-5lb+ u gonna release it based off breeding( going to a good bass spot tomorrow so its good to know these things.)
A 46cm would be fine, it's when they get 3lb plus I put them back, I only take occasionally nowadays tbh, I used to freeze them and also give them to people but now only take one fish occasionally and eat it the night after. An interesting thing worth mentioning is I bleed and brain spike my bass using the Japanese ikejime method, makes a big difference to the taste and is humane as possible method if dispatch, Google it if you haven't heard of it, 💯 worth doing. 👍
@@hooklinetrigger4576 ok cheers for that and I will look that up as well! heading out tomorrow am early for the high to a nice mark again. will take your advice cheers.
