WHEN IT RAINS IT POURS | LURE FISHING FOR BASS IN WINTER | MEGABASS ZONK GATARIDE 120
Вставка
- Опубліковано 7 вер 2024
- This session was from a day back in December, just before Christmas. I headed down to a mark in the pouring rain to do some lure fishing for bass. The lure of choice for that session would be the Megabass Zonk Gataride 120 in Pearl. This lure would be great for the conditions as the water was a little murky and the lure vibrates erratically on the retrieve.
I'd be into a fish on the first cast and the action didn’t stop there. Tune in to the video to see how many bass I managed to catch that day and don’t forget to hit the 'LIKE' button if this is your kind of thing!
Thanks for watching and see you on the next one 🎣

Firstly sorry to hear you have a personal issue that brings you sadness, secondly I too have had some bad news as being diagnosed with 2 rare terminal blood cancers that have stopped me fishing so this is a huge thank you for your videos as they allow me to still enjoy what i love to do buddy, I have just brought myself some new lure fishing rods and reels set up to keep my positivity that I will fight this and get some quality of life back to allow me to fish again. I just have to now get some lures and would kindly ask what you would recommend please. I live in the south of the uk, I hope you life worries get sorted Cal as you seem a great guy and deserve it .
best wishes John.
Hope you’re back at it soon Johnno 👍
@@MetalDetectingTheUK thank you so much me too :)
Wow.. Thank you for your concern mate! I'm so sorry to hear about your illness.. I can’t imagine what you’re going through right now and I truly hope you can get out and do what you love to do sometime soon! I'm glad something as little as this video can give you a bit of enjoyment for a few minutes and get you thinking about fishing.
I'm obviously not familiar with your part of coastline but I'd recommend just getting the basics and going from there. Maybe some savage gear sand eels as they're relatively cheap and they work very well. There are so many lures it’s hard to suggest just a couple! Look on mrfishjersey.com and have a browse through the website. Mick, the guy who runs it really knows his stuff and gives a bit of detail on each lure. You can always message him on facebook, he's always happy to give advice if you're not too sure about something. There are plenty of lures on his site and I'm sure you'll find something that suits your budget.
If you ever need any advice or just a chat then please feel free to message me on instagram @ fishing_with_cal
All the best buddy, I hope you can hook into some bass again soon!

Hi Cal. I've just watched your video and really enjoyed it. Some brilliant bass there. Well done. I've just started getting a collection of bass lures and shads. I've been fishing for nearly 60 years but not done much bass fishing. So I'm looking forward to my fishing trip in June. Hopefully ill catch some Bass after watching your video and getting a few tips. Sorry you have been having a few problems and hope everything ok now. All the best and tight lines.
Hi mate. Thanks for checking out the video! Lure collecting for bass fishing is never ending I’m afraid 🤣 You can never have too many haha. Good luck on the bass, I hope you manage to find a few. Cheers 👍🏼
@@FISHINGWITHCAL Thanks Cal. Yes it's addictive I've spent a few quid on bass lures and Shads and hopefully I find the Bass. Like you I'm all for catch and release.

Keep up the good work kind regards

Ah thanks very much Larry, I really appreciate that. We all go through spells of not catching, that's the nature of the beast 😂 The sessions you have when you’ve caught a few fish always make up for it though don’t they. Thanks a lot!

Thank you mate, times a healer and all that. The fishing helps! 🎣
Hope you enjoyed the holidays and your Birthday Cal, and things have brightened up for you mate! Another awesome video, fantastic camera work, brilliantly narrated and edited and spot on editing. It always almost feels I'm pulling in the fish myself!! Not much bass this time of year southern Ireland so great to see some action in your vids. Just class
Thanks a lot, I appreciate your comment 👍🏼 There’s only so much you can do with a couple of GoPros on your own but it gets the job done. I’m glad you liked the video. Cheers mate!
Well, despite the personal problems you might have been going through,
I don't know your's, but mine at the time many many years ago, ( infant death at 7 months old) all that saved me and my sanity was fishing 🎣.
It got me through many many bad days and months, then suddenly you find no matter how bad things get, when fishing all your worries and problems just go, even if only for the day it leaves you refreshed and recharged ready to face the next day.
Good lucky fella 👍
Hope you get out again soon 🙏 and share your fishing time with us out here.
Cheers mate 👍
Les.
Thank you mate. Fishing certainly helps clear the mind, only if for just a few hours. Thanks for watching the video, I appreciate the comment. Cheers 🎣
@FISHING WITH CAL
Good luck for your next trip mate.
Not sure what neck of the woods your at ??
But I fish mainly on/around the kent coast, and the Silver bars at times do not seem to be in abundance compared to the results you were having.
All the best 👍
@@lesliecrowther7004 I’m in Guernsey so a bit different to the Uk. We’re lucky enough to get some good fishing all year round. The latest video I put up was from a session recently when the bass were even hitting a surface lure. I managed about 5 or 6 small ones that day. Hopefully it picks up around Kent for you soon, shouldn’t be too long 🤞🏼
@FISHING WITH CAL Guernsey 🇬🇬 you lucky bugger you.
Must be honest, never been to vista but If i ever get over there I know whats coming with me.
I actually live in Ilford Essex, so I do have at least 11//2 hour drive at least, but I guess much easier for you though.
Keep it mate 👍 look forward to your next one. Yeah subscribed.
Tight lines.
@@lesliecrowther7004 thanks for subscribing 👍🏼 Yeah if you ever come over bring a rod for sure. It’s a small island so the spots are very close together 👍🏼
You get more takes in a session than l do in a year!
happy B day, could not returned fish, great sportsman
Gataride is the grail of shallow divers Cal! Top vid as always. ✌️
The dog catcher 💥

Chin up cal, hope what your going through you keep smiling, great vid as always my man

Great session Cal, well done my friend
Cheers mate 👍🏼
Liked and shared. Happy new year Cal. 🎣🎣🎣 . Totally agree about white lures as half of my bass last year caught on white savage gear seeker.
Thanks David 👍🏼 Yeah white is one of my favourite colours to use in any lure 🎣
Awesome Cal , you are an absolute legend. Stay safe and tight lines. Mike
Haha, let’s not get carried away! But thanks for watching, I appreciate it. 🤙🏼🎣
Awesome video, jealous of your year round bass!! Keep up the good work! 🎣🐟
Thanks mate. We have our tough times too though. It's usually hard work this time of year 🎣
Nice one Cal! Interesting comments regarding Bass fishing rules on Guernsey.
Thanks. Yeah, I expect Guernsey to follow suit with the UK at some point however I could be wrong.
Excellent vid and fish Cal. Happy birthday, Merry Xmas and New year etc. I also fish for my mental health - always happier by the sea. Look forward to more content in 2023. Tight lines!
Thanks man. Yeah true, just being out can put you in a better place even if you aren’t catching fish! 👍🏼🎣
Really nice video Cal, you bring pleasure and inspiration on a stormy, grey afternoon in Holland. Gonna catch some Bass this year! Keep up the good Spirit, You deserve It ;-)
(And Happy Birthday haha)
Thanks mate. We're getting used to these stormy grey days over here too, it's never ending! Cheers 👍🏼🎣
Great video again Cal,wonderful session! Happy New Year to you and high expectations for the 2023 season 🤞
Cheers mate. Happy new year 🎣
Smashing it 🐟🫡👊🏼
Mighty session cal,well done.hope everthing else works out for you.cheers bud.
Appreciate it mate, thanks a lot 👍🏼👍🏼
Brilliant session Cal,hope your issues get sorted. Nothing like catching a few bass to help forget about things. Perseverance pays off 💪🎣🐟
Cheers. That's true mate, it definitely helps! 🎣💥
Amazing session mate. Chin up buddy!!!!
Cheers Johnny 👍🏼
Great to see you out doing what you do m8, everyone has hard times but keep doing what makes you happy m8 and you will get through it.
👍
Well said mate. Thanks a lot! 🤙🏼
Sorry to hear you've had some problem's Cal, but if this session was anything to go by, the New Year looks bright🎣👍
Thanks 🤙🏼🎣
👌
Great video. I'm new to your channel and nearly half way through. You have a nice personality buddy.
Just looked at your lure, bit too expensive for me at £25 quid. I'll be scared to lose it lol. I usually get £10 quid of lug for a session on flappers. Where I live (Southend-on-Sea/Thames estuary) the fishing isn't great but we do have schoolies in the summer and sometimes larger bass.
I have tried lures here but no joy. Unfortunately it's very flat and the tide goes out very far.
Hi mate, thanks for watching the videos! Yeah the Megabass lures are pretty pricey but they’re really nice lures to have in your box, you just have to know where to fish them to prevent losing them. Do you fish the big low tides where you are then? Would be an idea to fish the tide up with some lures and target any areas where there are gullies and reefs etc. Cheers 👍🏼
@@FISHINGWITHCAL thanks for the reply. I may get one to see how they go haha. I've been sporadically buying fishing gear over winter 😂 where I live is the Thames estuary really. It's Southend-on-Sea which isn't known for good fishing. The tide goes out over half a mile and unfortunately we don't have proper gullies or reefs here. Fishing isn't great but I enjoy getting out there because it just feels good :)
I sometimes go to Kent for seafishing which is better. Planning a trip to Brighton this summer.
1st class fishing there cal 👌🏼 ….
👍🏼👍🏼🎣
well said you, totally agree,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
Cool Video to Start the Weekend.
Happy new year and tight lines for You
Thanks, you too 👍🏼🎣
What a catch, nearly every cast a Bass. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you too Cal.
Brilliant video mate 😀👍🐟🐟🐟
Cheers 👍🏼
Sorry to hear it's been a rough ride recently, I hope the New Year brings you better times, great to see you out fishing again, what a session. Which version of the Gataride do you use? I believe there is two ( Hi Pitch & Yoro-Yoro). I don't have a Zonk but was recommended the standard version over the Gataride as apparently the Folding lip is quite fragile and far more prone to breaking. Is there any truth in this? All the best
Hi mate and thanks a lot. Yes there’s truth in that. The lip is fragile so you do need to take a bit of care when using it. If it breaks then it's game over for the lure as it wont swim properly anymore. I have the High Pitch version yeah. I prefer the gataride because you can use it in very shallow water whereas the other version swims a bit deeper. Still a great lure, however, I use the gataride from the shore and the yoro from the boat.
Happy new year Cal ,fantastic video I don't often post but I watch every one keep it up Fair wind's, Tom..
Happy new year to you too mate and thanks for watching the videos! All the best 👍🏼
Loved it as always Cal!!
Be out there in that weather so fair play to you and hope you had a good birthday.
Really hope that your personal stuff works out mate!!
All the very best to you!!
Cheers mate, I appreciate that. Thanks for watching! 👍🏼
Nothing like a bit of bassin' to clear the head. Hope you get your stuff sorted man. Great little session there. Wonder if that zonk would have the same action with single hooks rather than trebles. Make it easier to unhook them.
Awesome to see some great condition fish. Keep up the good work mate 😊
Cheers mate 👍🏼 I'll find out soon whether the action of the lure is the same with singles, I'll be changing the hooks soon as I've been meaning to do it for a while. Trebles can be a proper nightmare sometimes.
@@FISHINGWITHCAL I'm gradually changing all mine. Mainly cos I hooked myself while trying to grab a bass I'd just landed 😂
You found a nice little hot spot for the bass there. They only wanted that white shad shaped lure too.
@@cornishsideburn3016 yeah we’ve all done that mate. One of the worst feelings haha. A good reason to swap hooks too 👍🏼
Beautiful fish.
Great Video, Well done Cal and happy birthday
Thanks mate 😀🎣
Brilliant video and fishes . !!! Thanks for the release all :) I just wonder and want to ask that what is the retain limit for bass for a day for UK . ? Thanks in advance .
Thanks mate. Uk regulations are minimum 42cm and I believe it’s 2 per day except for between December 1st and March 1st (I think!?) I’m not in the Uk, I’m in guernsey so we have separate rules. There aren’t any regulations from the shore over here apart from the minimum 42cm size.
Great video cal 👍 and thanks for explaining about the regulations regarding the bass I’ve asked others before and never got an answer 👍 hope the rest of your year goes well 🎣🎣🎣
Cheers mate. At some point I actually expect guernsey to follow the same guidelines as the Uk & Ireland etc but for now there is nothing in place. Like many other places, sea fisheries over here are rubbish. There are many things they can do to improve fish stocks but never seem to care. Inshore netting is a big problem here, amongst many other things. Cheers for watching! 👍🏼
Just realised you're in Guernsey.
Great session and video thanks
Cheers 🤙🏼
Great video mate, some nice fish. I think regarding keeping bass is limited in the UK to 2 fish per angler per day apart from December 1st through to March 1st is catch and release only. 👍
Yeah that's right. Over here, from the shore, It's just the size limit of 42cm. There's no bag limit per angler per day. That's all year round too. Some of the older bass anglers complain there aren’t many big bass around yet a lot of them have photos of them loading up on 8lbers from years ago 😂 There are usually plenty of bass over here however, finding the bigger ones is never easy.
@@FISHINGWITHCAL Where is it that you are doing your bass fishing??
Love your videos mate, something quite therapeutic about fishing in the rain.
Which coast are you on if you don’t mind me asking? I fish the east of England and there’s next to no bass 😔
Thanks a lot mate. Yeah fishing in the rain can be quite relaxing as long as the wind isn’t howling. I'm in Guernsey in the Channel Islands.
Another great video Cal … nice lot of bass … hope your personal life gets sorted .. time is a healer … where did you get your pliers ?
Thanks a lot mate! The pliers are Berkeley ones, they’re just from my local tackle shop. Pretty sure veals stock them too.
Thanks for the great videos Cal, I didn't manage to get out once in 2022 so they keep me going. Hope 2023 brings better things for you.
Cheers mate. I really hope you can get out many times this year! All the best mate.
I enjoyed that, Cheers.
Thanks 👍🏼
Simply brilliant video, I could watch your videos everyday of the week mate they are that good..hope alls well now with your private life, keep smiling mate and keep up the great work
Ah thanks a lot mate that means a lot! Im glad you like the videos. Cheers 🎣
Always here mate if you wanna chat..
@@waynestewart8740 🙏🏻👍🏼🎣
Great stuff mate
Just my opinion (relatively new to fishing), and first time watching any of your videos, but 9 hooks seems really excessive - I was told if a bass bleeds then there's a high chance it dies back in the water?
Very jealous of you having that kind of fishing in December though! 👍
I’ve just changed the trebles on my hard lures to singles. Do you need 3 trebles on one lure.. No.
Sometimes they do cause unnecessary damage to the fish yeah.
If a bass is bleeding from the gills then yes, that’s serious damage and the chance of survival is slim.
Singles are far better for causing less damage for sure but you will miss more fish.
Happy New Year Cal. Great session, very entertaining just watching! Keep up the good work.
Cheers mate 👍🏼🎣 🇬🇬
p.arabens companheiro muitas felicidades.stay strong.abraço.
Awesome video mate , watching from Ireland. I know how you feel going thru hard times ,been there myself many times.chin up mate.tight lines .new subscriber..
Thanks a lot mate and thanks for subscribing, I appreciate it! Just gotta take it day by day hey. Cheers 👍🏼
Great video man really appreciate them 👍
Thanks very much 👍🏼
Nothing like a bit if fishing therapy.Hope I dont seem like a knob but would you consider using single barbless hooks on that lure? as Im sure if you were a fish you would prefer that.
Hi mate, I've actually ordered some singles to replace the trebles on a few of my hard lures. I agree, a lot less damage and also a lot easier to unhook the fish. Cheers.
What a session!! Brilliant stuff Cal. Happy New Year and here’s hoping for an amazing season ahead. 👍👍🐟🐟🐟🐟
Cheers mate! I hope it's a good one for you too 🎣🎣
Nice 👍
Nice xmas presents for you well done
Great video as always mate... 👍
Thanks 👍
Perfect video. Where were you mate?
This is in Guernsey in the Channel Islands mate.
Great video Cal and some awesome bass caught. I have the same reel as yours only issue is I seem to get a few wind knots when casting, what weight lures do you use? As I was wondering if my lures are too light.
Hi mate. I use lures from 15g to 35g with that rod and reel. It could be the line lay on your reel or maybe you’ve under-filled or overfilled it?
Cheers mate, my local tackle shop put the line on for me when I bought the rod and reel. May be the lures are too light
I’m trying to get into fishing just to for mental health. Wouldn’t you recommend it?
Hi Cal , the Samson shad lure you were using what weight was it , as would like to try one but need to get the right weight cheers 👍 great fish and video
Hi mate. I use the 25g and 30g versions of the shads mostly. They’re ideal for the kind of set up I use for bass fishing so they cast far and can be worked either very shallow or a bit deeper. 👍🏼
@@FISHINGWITHCAL thank you for the info very much appreciated keep the vids coming 👍
Great Fishing channel. I watch all your videos and learn too much. The techniques of bass fishing is very similiar to Turkey. I want to ask you that what is the exact model of your rod, there are too many differen shimano aernos in 9 foot here. Also what is the water degree in there at video fishing date. Thanks
Thanks mate. The rod is the 9ft 7-35g version. It’s a nice rod to use, especially for topwater lures and divers. The water temp is 10 degrees now. Cheers 👍🏼
All the best for the new year mate.
I like that Laura I’m going to give it a go.
will it be any good in the surf
Thanks mate, you too. Yeah the Zonks are great in the surf. The lip of the lure really digs in to the water so it holds well in the surf!
