Nice session at a mark I’m trying to learn. It’s seems they pass through in a very small window so timing is essential. But early days so far. Tight lines guys 🎣 Paul
Hi Cliff Thanks for the comment👍🏻there are many ways to work the seeker it’s a very versatile lure if you go to my playlists you will find a few seeker videos together. For me straight retrieve spin stop or as I call it slow working. The first two are self explanatory just vary the speeds and stop times etc My slow worked seeker technique slows things down even more lift the lure then when you lower the rod wind as you lower so that you control the decent. practice close in with clear water so you can see what it’s doing. I’ve found it works well for me.
Fantastic video as always Paul, I really do enjoy your channel. So honest and well presented. What lovely fish bass are but it’s not all about catching is it? Great location and your dogged perseverance paid off. Have only just dipped my toe into lure fishing with no success at the moment 😢. Must be a great buzz when you get a take. I have caught some nice bass on big lugworm baits in shallow water and tend to lure fish in between so perhaps I should concentrate on one or the other! All the best and keep the videos coming they really are the best therapy for me after having chemotherapy. Dave broadstairs Kent
Hi Dave, Thanks for the encouraging comments 👍🏻. Sorry to hear you’ve not been well. You keep on keeping on and fishing as much as you can I’ll try and keep you entertained when you can’t get out ! Your right it’s not just about catching this film was shot very early in the morning so quiet and peaceful 😁 just what you need to help your recovery 👍🏻keep at it you will get that hit on the lure the longer and harder the journey the better the reward 👍🏻
Been using red flying-c’s on the Lougher estuary here in Carmarthenshire. Caught bass to 9lb and if the bass aren’t biting I retrieve really slowly bouncing it off the bottom and catch flounder with it. Caught 8 in an hour and a half last week testing a cheap 9’ 15-60 gramme gx2 ugly stik that I bought for my grandson to use.
Thanks for the info When you say bouncing .. slow as in it’s not spinning? I’d like to catch a flattie next time I’m in that sort of environment I’m going to try it 👍🏻 How was the ugly stick ? Good value I guess ?
@@chuckitandsea Very slow retrieve so the spinner blade disturbs the sand as I skip it over the bottom. You can feel the flounder plucking at the lure as they chase it. I found the Ugly stik very floppy without much feedback, but it’ll undoubtedly be ok and pretty much bulletproof as my grandsons first rod.
Yeah the ugly sticks appear to be unbreakable from what I’ve read sure it will get him on the fish and hooked 👍🏻 Deffo give that a go when I’m in the right plaice pun intended 😁 🎣🎣
Hi, enjoyed the video and watching your seeker technique, gentle sink and draw looks like a winner. Have you tried the Savage gear Pencil with the same sink and draw technique, I remember a guy last year doing this and had two Bass. On straight retrieve they fish very shallow, but if fish are deeper maybe worth a try letting it sink a bit.
Thanks for reply, yeah I guess if you are going to do sink and draw might as well use a seeker anyway. I can relate so much to only have 10 chucks with the unknown/mission lures and wanting to go back to the tried and tested ones. I'm the same with the weedless savage sandeel, it's a consistent catcher for me on my marks. I need to find some cleaner ground alongside the rocks so I can unleash the seeker, lost too many of them at my usual spots. I will look forward to the midweek video.
@@BYF1 yeah we certainly have our favourites but the only way to get new favourites is to fish different lures I guess all experience and hopefully making us more successful in the end 🤞🏻👍🏻
Nice at quiet at that time of day come 8am it’s full of paddle boards etc Yeah I like it ! Having to put the hours in but starting to work it out I think 👍🏻
Another great video mate ..👌🏻how good are seekers !! Whenever I’m having a rough session .. trying lure after lure with no joy ive put a seeker on and hey presto .. ! Not everytime obviously but there a very safe bet that’s for sure .. can I ask what waders you use and what wading boots ? I take it your waders are the stocking type with neo socks attached ?
Thanks Mark, They are good plenty of ways to work them … if the fish are there and you work seekers in a few ways you will get that hit I’m sure. They Can’t resist. I’m starting to like the F360 tho maybe it will surpass the seeker 🫨 who knows.
Hi Paul, im not sure how it can be my fault your into the bass lol no i havent tbh but Kev uses them for wrasse im sure they have there place worked ultra slow around rock pools etc im sure they work ! Maybe i will try them when ive worked my way through the challenge lures that are proving harder than i thought.! I am hoping to get down your way in the next few weeks maybe see you on a beach or rock ! Cheers Paul
Lovely funny session fella. Seekers are the drug for bass I think. I've used them in tropical waters as well and the same, fish love them. I do prefer blue though so you can keep the whites. 😂
Hi Phillip… funny hmmm not sure how losing a good bass off the top is funny 🤣 I’ve only had lizard fish on them in Lanzarote the zonk has been the one there ! You will like an up coming video then fat 51 on a blue one 👍🏻
@derek6579 hi Derek it’s not but poppit is a place I know well my parents had a caravan “on the patch” from when I was very young until I was about 18 so spent many years down there … I’m intrigued by Emma Hamilton who is she and should I know the house your thinking of ?
Love the vids. Funnily enough seeker and flying c are my bankers lures. Love the way you make challenge lures to force yourself to diversify and try something new. The seekers are hard not to use very addictive, lost a black pearl and a white pearl today 😢😢😂
Hi Adam, Where did you lose your white peal ? I’m down there at low tide lol I have one left it will only be used in times of desperation!! Or over known sand.. yeah the lure challenge had certainly changed my outlook it’s interesting how when they are on I just want them off and then like now I love a Toby !! Mid week film this week is another challenge lure ticked off 👍🏻
Hi Ian .. yeah I said that in the video I wished I’d have started on the patch 100 ! I will definitely be giving it a good try next time if conditions are conducive 👍🏻🎣🎣

Loving your videos and of course the commentary. Please explain to a newbie how to action the seeker ?

You cant beat the seeker.White is favourite .But i have caught on the other colours .Nice Fishing Spot.
Hi Keith.. yeah I love a white seeker but have had good fish on the blue chrome surf seeker recently… video up soon 👍🏻

Yeah slow working seems to do the job ! I have tried it with the pencil without success! Keep your eyes out for the midweek video 😉

@@chuckitandsea Hi Paul it's me again sorry I didn't mean your fault in a bad way it's fantastic I love bass you're videos have me insp
@@PaulKnight-n2b I know mate hence the “lol” !
Had a Bass myself this weekend on a white pearl surf seeker on an estuary in wales,
Nice work Paul 🎣 many more to come 🤞🏻

@chuckitandsea you'll be a blue convert soon. Next you'll be using the smaller samson enticer rather than the patch. 🤣
@phillipb72 nope I’ve tried Samsons don’t like them .. I make my own it’s called the POC-lures Julie they are for sale on eBay they are better 🎣
Is that Poppit Sands with Emma Hamiltons house?
@derek6579 hi Derek it’s not but poppit is a place I know well my parents had a caravan “on the patch” from when I was very young until I was about 18 so spent many years down there … I’m intrigued by Emma Hamilton who is she and should I know the house your thinking of ?
Love the vids. Funnily enough seeker and flying c are my bankers lures. Love the way you make challenge lures to force yourself to diversify and try something new.
The seekers are hard not to use very addictive, lost a black pearl and a white pearl today 😢😢😂
Hi Adam,
Where did you lose your white peal ?
I’m down there at low tide lol I have one left it will only be used in times of desperation!! Or over known sand.. yeah the lure challenge had certainly changed my outlook it’s interesting how when they are on I just want them off and then like now I love a Toby !! Mid week film this week is another challenge lure ticked off 👍🏻
Try fishing a Patchinko Nacre in 100. Great in estuaries.
Hi Ian .. yeah I said that in the video I wished I’d have started on the patch 100 ! I will definitely be giving it a good try next time if conditions are conducive 👍🏻🎣🎣
Like your video Paul, it would be nice to show a close up of each lure change , thanks.
