  • A little bit of lure fishing this autumn around Herne bay. The season started pretty slowly but we ended up with a fantastic autumn in the end between all the storms and huge amounts of seaweed through the summer months.
    early in the year we spent hours and hours chasing fish , many blanks ensued. The town beaches get absolutely hammered by weed and its almost unfishable at times.
    we mainly fish with lighter tackle and lure gear when the weather and tides allow. when it blows up rough on the north kent coast we often head down to samphire hoe and hythe .
    the big mackerel were quite a surprise especially in the murky shallow water at low tide.. they are so much fun on the light gear.
    mostly i catch and release the bass, especially the larger females. we do keep a few sizeable mackerel for the bait freezer and a few dinners though.
    my lure setup is a 9ft shimano dialuna paired with a stradic 3000xg. its been absolutely thrashed the last 3 seasons and the reel is only now showing some signs of age. It regularly gets dunked and so far has stood up to the saltwater environment very well with only minimal maintenance
    i dont use a vast selection of lures nowdays, mostly savagegear seekers in 16 gram along with a few westin lures.
    i make my own surface lures from workshop scraps, maybe ill make a few basic ones and catch a few bass so you can see basic lures really do work well.

    Nice to see you didn't listen to your mate and returned the fish

    Always fun when the first fish caught is smaller than the lure.

      This was the first time out trying to catch on camera. I really enjoyed it,lots to improve on filming wise but a few nice fish. The double figure bass don't come along very often,I'm glad I managed to hold the phone whilst landing it.

      @@tillysgunstocks crumbs no that big fish like that double come along often what a stunner. I was thinking that holding your phone whilst battling that is quite a handful but you managed it a very well done 👏 👍

    I’m visiting Herne Bay tomorrow with the kids and I always have a rod and lures in the car. Is it worth trying from the beach at high tide? Haven’t got any waders to go far out. Would be great to catch a bass or two.

      Hi mate. That stradic has been apart loads. Luckily plenty of spares readily available on the net. I ended up packing the bail roller with grease as even a replacement was sounding rough after a couple of dunks. I've just bought a new model to replace it. Tbh it's done 3 seasons and been fully submerged a lot so can't complain 😉

    great video but just a word of caution; sometimes when you upload a video when you catch good fish and you accidentally show a bit of coast or landmark, mentally prepare yourself to see someone fishing your mark all the time,
    good too the bigger the fish go back, that double almost certainly had eggs because the bigger females often come in close or go up estuaries to lay their eggs, and especially if they are fat like the one in the video they certainly have thousands of eggs
    just a quick question around what time of year were these fish caught I cant imagine them being caught anytime now
