Lure Fishing for Bass | Top Water Bass | UK Bass Fishing

- I don't get to go lure fishing for bass all that often and so when I do get the opportunity it tends to be a long day.
UK bass fishing can be tough when you live in an area with few fish and in this video travelled a long way from home, walked a lot and went to new areas that don't always hold bass.
I tried a few different lures while searching for the fish- top water, sub-surface and metals jigs- but old faithful Patch 125 did the business.
Tackle-
Bass Fishing Rod- Tailwalk Hi-Tide TZ ML, 9ft 7-24g
Bass Fishing Reel- Daiwa BG MAgseasled 2500
Braid- Taslan Elite 0.6 PE (12lb)
Lures- Xorus Patchinko 125, Apia Ailed D'ore, Savage Gear Seek ISP

Absolute class video. The terrain, the drone footage, the commentary and advice, the whole package. 👏👌👍.
Then just when you think that's it, the perfect camera angle to see the bass eye up, then take the lure at the surface. Priceless.
Awesome from start to finish.
Thank you.
Stay safe. 😷
Thank you for such a good comment and glad you liked it 👍 😊
Love it mate, the high the lows of real fishing, the honesty. You love your fishing mate that shines through and the channels looking very slick they days. Tight lines.
Glad you picked up on that, it's the angle I'm going for. There's plenty of 'fish reels' on UA-cam and I want to keep it as real as possible. Tight lines mate 👍 🎣
Brilliant video. I cannot believe how chill you were after finally hooking up 7hrs later!
That was me excited 😄
Great content vid . Loads of action and a bass to be proud of , well done
I love how you show the good with the bad. If you ever fancy a couple of days fishing in South Wales I have a spare room rent free. Tight Lines
Wow, thanks very much for the offer! I've not fished down your way yet so you never know... I like to keep it real, there's an old cliché - it's called fishing and not catching😀
@@SlippyLimpets I don't always go fishing to catch fish.
A hugely well deserved bass. That is dedication! Great video. Those rock formations are awesome to see too.
Aye it was a nice place to spend a tough day in!
@@SlippyLimpets well put :). Living on this 9x5 mile island what you did was huge :)
Good videos to watch so thank you and tight lines
If I ever get to go fishing on your island, I'd end probably end up walking the whole coastline 😄 Tight Lines👍🎣
Stunning Nath! Amazing marks and what a cracking visual hit off the top!
Can't beat it
Thanks Adam 👍
Excellent! Proper angling and stunning footage - it’s all about doing it and hopefully catching a few. I really enjoyed it 👍
Glad you enjoyed it👍🎣
Excellent video again Nathan . Target species nailed. I hope you keep in contact with your family when you go to these remote locations. Stay safe and tight lines. Mike.
Yeah I do, I always give them my location on Google maps and update them if I move on from there. Glad you liked the vid!
Nicely produced video, thanks. Good to see someone as keen as yourself.
Thanks for watching!
One of my favourite channels on UA-cam. Very informative, friendly style of presenting. Hats off to you ma man!
Thanks man!! Appreciate the comment 🙏 👍
I love the sense of adventure and exploration in so many of your videos. Great effort to in keeping going
You're the man Nathan,that was one mission,one word ,determination
Think my missus calls it stubbornness 😄
wow slippy thats a long day 12+ hours of chucking plastic about it is hard work' my arm would have fallen off with that amount of reeling well done dude.... keep it real and have fun
My body felt it the next day! I'm not as young and fit as I used to be😄
Fantastic video after such a drive and a trek you got your target, well done buddy you never fail to bring us such awesome view's and excellent video's thanks for taking the time to record and share these fantastic video's take care buddy and tight line's always, 🎣🐟👊🤘
It's my pleasure, as long you guys keep watching👍😊
Your hard work paid of mate, target species acquired and a few other fish along the way. Excellent as usual buddy👍
I nearly gave up, glad I didn't now. Glad you liked it 👍
Great video. Far more authentic and genuinely informative than the fish locker faux crap
Glad you liked it!
Head up Danny lad, as the saying goes we live and we learn. Your book will be a good read !
A book? Now that's a good idea.
Cracking video and perfectly caught on camera top water lure take! Loved it! Bass fishing is my favourite too! Brilliant
It was almost going to be a blank video, saved at the last moment and really glad I decided to put the camera on the tri-pod
Another class video pal the venues you fish are quite spectacular carry on producing.
Yeah I'mlucky to find these places
Yeh, same sort of rocks in parts of South West Scotland, killer on your legs after a few hours. Nice vid again and nice bass, can’t seem to get past the small pollock at the mo, but I’ll keep trying!
They're a pest when targeting bass, I tend to move spot if I keep catching them.👍🎣
Well done!!! I missed a fish just like the one you caught few weeks back. I got too excited and kept reeling, instead of stopping like you did!! 🤣
It's hard to gauge, sometimes speeding up works and other times the pause works. I was just lucky with this one👍🎣
That's what I call dedication for ya,,, a 5 hr drive then another hours walk 👍👍. Excellent camera work and footage as per usual,,, ya definitely know some canny places 😉😉. Thanks for sharing 🎣🎣👍👍
My daughter and I just got back from 3 days on Skye and 4 days at Carradale bay. I managed one bass (and loads of pollack) on a shallow diving surface lure off a rocky point about 15 minutes paddle south of Carradale, which made the trip :) I've also caught one close to the wind turbines off Seaton Sluice - it's a fair paddle though. Thanks for another great video !
Great effort on catching a bass on Skye, hard won!
Bloody bear grills of fishing 5 hour drive 45 min walk, I'll just scale down this and wade over to that, I'm almost 60 now you make me jealous in a nice way, you take me back years to some fantastic memories of my own, thanks for that and keep up the good work 🤘😉
An hour back to the car now!! I'd have took a tent, you're obviously an adventura and a rock climber judging by you're foot wear and the way you traverse the terrain, I tip my cap to you sir, you're everything I used be😉🤘
Ps fantastic memories re ignited, thanks to you're efforts, I've had a shit couple of years, an hour a day for the last few days watching you, has made the world of difference, thank you so much 😉
Cracking! What a trip out!
Great vid Nathan, I was just fishing Newbrough beach headland around the 2 lighthouses the other week, with the Snowdonia mountain range looking down over me it wasnt a bad day to blank. Then a drive to Llandudno and then back home to Teesside. Great vid .
It's a tough day but the setting always makes up for it fishing in locations like that. Tight lines Danny 👍 🎣
All the hard work paid
Off in the end rewarded with
A nice bass
Aye, I was lucky, was just about to pack it in for the night
Great, long day paid off,sometimes it's at start other times at end.
Yeah you're right there. Not sure which scenario I prefer🤔
Nice video pal lot of effort to get to them nice places well done and keep this videos coming 👍
Thanks pal and will do.👍
Top video great respect for your quarry nice to see
Thanks mate, glad you liked it
Fantastic video as always! Me and my youngest are in the Shields area this weekend so will be looking for some opportunities to spin from the rocks, preferably without the need to be a mountain goat 😁 as at 56 I’m not as spritely as I used to be! Keep up the great vids, some of the best stuff ‘on the smart telly’ 😁
There's a rock at the south end of shields beach that can throw up some good fish. No need for climbing but it'snonly accessible about 2 hours either side of high tide. Hope you have a good trip👍🎣
Another long hike mate but paid off in the end, nice Pollack too love catching them on the fiiish eels specially from the kayak ain't tried one from the shore yet but gonna now. . ! Stay safe n tight lines 🎣🎣👍
They're lethal from the shore mate, and great fun to fish since you have to wind quickly with them. Just make sure you glue the body to the head else they don't last long. Tight lines mate!
Good effort again mate.. Nice plump Bass at the end of your mission.. Aw the best.. 🎣🎣🎣🎣
It had definitely been feeding well!! Not been the best of seasons for me so far, hoping your fairing better
Brilliant footage. Thanks
Glad you enjoyed it
Awesome as always budd!! stay safe out there!!
Great vid , I love seeing different marks 1st mark you went to the structure reminded me of a vertical version of Kimmeridge bay, the layers of rock are like that . Pleased you got your reward in the end 😀👍
Thanks Kevin. I love that type of geology and it's not often I've seen laying vertical
brilliant video again mate plus some nice fish , well done, tight lines
Thanks as always mate. Tight lines!👍🎣
Ya eventually caught ur bass fairplay overall not a bad session at all nice spot too
Aye mate, it's been a long time coming 😄
Cracking video mate! Them miles sure payed off with that nice top water take and nice bass! Keep the hard work up!!🎣
Glad you liked it. Those tough days make getting the target species even better!
Some nice little Pollock with that 10g lure.that was a mission and a half,but worth it in the end.seeet bass to finish.well done SL.
They're lethal for all species of saltwater fish. Can think of a fish that I haven't landed on one. Shame they're so pricey though
Your persistence certainly pays off. Great take on the top water 👍🐟
It almost didn't, I'm sure I'd said "last cast" about 10 times 😄
@@SlippyLimpets we all say that 😂🐟👍
Only recently found your channel, absolutely love it. Definitely in my top 3 fishing channels 👏
Welcome aboard and thank you. Out of curiosity what are the other 2 channels?
Your dedication is unreal
Thanks👍
Your effort is worth more 👍, but you got your rewards with the fish you caught. Thanks for the video 👍👍👍🎣🎣🎣
Just the one made the whole day worthwhile 👍🎣👍
Great video mate. Long day that! Nice that you got the take on camera too. 👍🏼🎣
It was mate. I'm glad I bothered to carry the tripod with me else I probably wouldn't have caught the take on camera
Quite good , you do the release and enjoy nature . The rest is thousands of pound chassing a sport , well done , awesome walk .
Not quite thousands but it's adding up to that!
Bloody hell you certainly walk some miles to your fishing Nate. Respect
I sometimes wish I could just have an easy session 😄
Love reality fishing channels . Honest efforts rewarded with modest catches and yet memorable, most of my trips require a lot of effort and not a little cost but every hit fills me up . Great channel .
Well said! Got to keep the fix going 👍🎣
I always enjoy your videos they are absolutely wonderful. Kudos to you Sir.
Kudos to you for commenting, again! Thanks for watching 😊
Good fish care and awesome release, love your videos!!!
Thanks mate👍🎣
Great video Nathan - that is real commitment to keep going and keep filming even when the fish are playing hard to get. I fished some terrain like that in southwest Ireland and it is very energy-sapping. David
Must admit David, I was nearly about it in but glad I didn't. Have you used your braid yet?
@@SlippyLimpets not yet - I am in the central highlands this week fly-fishing for moorland trout in the streams - a 10inch fish is a monster. I will be off to Skye in mid-September so will be using it there. Looking forward to it.
Love fishing in the Highlands, those Scottish brownies don't half put up good scrap on the right tackle. Hope you had a good trip and enjoy Skye!
Please try topwater fishing for pollock- it looks great. A guy in Skye does it successfully great video 👍
A seriously good video you certainly worked hard that day
It was a bit of struggle!
Rather than pull off, when they go into the kelp/leaving the hook in, let out slack and take a break for 10 mins or so, or switch to a second blank, until you sense movement below, they will often come out when the pressures been off for a while. Depending on hook set, some of them don't survive if it stays in.
As John lock often says "you can catch big fish on small hooks but you can't catch small fish on big hooks " .
I got a pack of very similar pre hook n weighted little sandeels 15 gram and I used em Last year with great success on big Pollack and mackerel, it was one of those days where the shinny metal wasn't working and after catching a couple of nice fish the lads I was with were "oh do you have one I could borrow?" Borrow I said lol!! And I only had 5 and rock marks like that have snags so I think between us 1 lure returned but we all caught a good few fish b4 they either got snagged or were just chewed to pieces after all the hits from Pollack..
loving the new videos from you mate!! the 1 thing I struggle with is locating a potential fishing spot... is there going to be a vid from you explaining you're process and methods to determine a good fishing mark?????
I wasn't planning on doing one, but now you've mentioned it, it seems like a good idea. The things that determin a good mark can change depending on the species you're after- bass are often in shallow water, pollack tend to like deeper water. What species do you normally target?
@@SlippyLimpets well there are 2 different areas I fish wich are the Llyn Peninsula and North Wales coast wich is onto shallow sand beaches.
you can get most species on the Llyn and the beaches produce bass smoothhound bull huss Thornbury Ray and on the rare occasion tope upto but no more than 10lb.
For me the advice I'd find priceless is how to assess an area and determine what to fish for and best methods.
you're videos are very precise in terms of you know what species are in the area what method will produce and you seem to be able to determine this from just looking at the type of mark you're on.. I struggle to identify species to tactics unless I've spoken to someone local...
Fantastic and very engrossing video … superb
Thank you and glad you liked it!
another great vid slippy. keep em coming 👍🏻
Thanks Tommy, I'll keep em coming as long you keep watching 😃
Nice Bass. Grueling trek and stunning rock formation. Not friendly on the feet though. One of the marks i fish is like that. Takes a toll on your feet. Tight lines until the next video. 🎣
Yeah terrain like that is gruelling. I definitely felt it the next morning 😄
I don’t fish for bass, but I wish did, and I think I might! Great stuff! Subscribed
Welcome to the channel! You should give bass fishing a go, they're like the perch of the sea, just with bigger lures
@@SlippyLimpets I’ve the East Anglian coast within 11/2 hours drive and there are Bass, but the coast line nor the colour of the sea is very inspiring, but I shall be giving it a go. A very enjoyable channel 👍
Eyup Nathan. Well that was mint and it's all been said below except that your reaction to hitting the bass was as though you'd spotted some really good gear drop out of the vicar's pocket during vespers. You know where you are when the rocks are folded like the dodgy jam butties you made when you were a kid or have just gone sideways. And the barnacles take the flesh off in strips. Cymru am byth! Sithi after, Dave.
Haha! Class as always Dave. I wonder which scenario I'd prefer, the gear or the fish 🤔
@@SlippyLimpets I'd recommend fishing gear but you're on that already. :-)
Ah, I thought that's what you were talking about 😉
Great stuff as always mate. 👏👏🎣
Cheers matey!!
Another quality film realy enjoyed that. Some crazy geology there looks like another planet in some places lol. Look forward to your next session . All the best from the humber GY.
It is a nuts setting, hard work but a joy to be in. Glad you enjoyed and thanks again for commenting🎣👍
well done again mate, i can smell the bass lol..love your video,s
I was sure I could 😄
@@SlippyLimpets i hope i can smell them also lol..never caught a bass..
Awesome video Share brother, Nice Fishing.... lure fishing for Bass....
Have Anice day Brother.... Good Luck From Indonesia
This video was worth it just for the opening shot of the "Craig".The Bass fishing could have been better ,but the scenery was breathtaking.
The settings like that often keep me going on harder sessions, it's a privilege to be in places like that so got to make the most of it. Thanks for your comment 👍
Yes Nathan. You've had more luck than me.
It's been hard work recently. I blame the small tides!
Top video again m8
Thanks mate!!
Wow,you put the miles in to get that one,but well worth your effort.Hope you've got some footage of the 14lber to put up soon !!
Wish I did, typically it was the first session in years that I didn't take camera with me 😞
That looked tough terrain mate, but well done for plugging on.
It was hard going mate, even more so when on me tod- need to be extra careful!
There's been a few people asking about the braid now and some have placed orders with Frank. Thanks again for that spool!!
You're a star, but by God lad you take some chances by yourself, I actually worry about you.
Really appreciate that but there's really no need to worry. I carry a VHF around with me and my family always know where I'm heading. I've also climbed/mountaineered for 20 years so know my limits and never leave my comfort zone
Top quality yet again, especially the top water drone footage!
Typical of a new mark where you expend so much blood, sweat and tears and doubt whether there are even any fish!
Don’t suppose you’ve been out locally yet? Should be good the next few days, might even sneak out myself.
Cheers
Thanks Olly, keeping the psyche up is one of the toughest aspects of new mark fishing.
Not been out locally yet, hopefully will get in a night session or two over the next couple of weeks.
Have you had much luck this season?
Toughest yes, but also the sweetest when it comes off!
I thought I saw you the other week but as this was at night, I thought better than to go talking to strangers in the dark 😂
Im sure I’ll see you out there at some point
If you want incentive, I’m having a great season so I’m sure you’ll find a few as well
Cheers
Thanks for the incentive and yes, it's best not to talk to strangers after dark. Give me a shout if you do see me, I'll be they guy who seems like he's talking to him self 😄
Keep the good fishing vids coming some nice fish lovely bass mr limpet ha, are you shore you was not a mountain goat in previous life ,The way you go over them rocks ,some danger climes you do ,not for me
Haha I might have been, could also be the 20 years of rock and ice climbing I did before I started fishing. Seems to have come in handy for fishing too. 👍🎣
I really enjoy watching your videos. Haven't subscribed yet but probably will soon....
Just a thought - without giving too much info could you say in which general area you are. I'm an expat and was born in Edinburgh, lived in Devon and travelled extensively around Cornwall. Must admit that watching your videos brings back memories of my youth....
I don't want to give too much away, there's a reason why it's so quiet there, but it's closer to your place of birth than Devon and Cornwall
Ace the way you turned round think the vass had.missed it and then took it as you were looking at the camera
It was almost as if it was waiting for that moment!
Looks amazing but I think I'll stick to the canal bank 😉
I don't blame you!😂
Looking forward to this
Commenting before even watching the vid?! I like it 👌
Great stuff
Thanks mate 👍
Pollack love those small crazys. Little flick and let them dart down . Or a little speed up and a dead pause . But if I let them swing down on a mended line I hit bass . Really don't know why the Ps like em drilling and the bass arcing. But I've had hundreds each way to establish both methods.
Good knowledge! It is strange because I find the pollack normally like a slower sinking bait. Codling like that lure on a slow sink/arc too
@@SlippyLimpets I guess depth line drag and head weight vs body drag will make alot of variables. But what ever the speed I find the pollack like straight down on the crazy eels 😀
Well done fella.
I went to "you know where" today but the swell was massive and i didnt get a thing.
Same mark as last time or were at a different one?
@@SlippyLimpets Same area but some cliffs a bit wet so stuck to the relatively easy descent. Still dislodged a rock which would have killed someone though so that was a bit scary.
That does sound scary! those rocks are lethal in the wet so you probably made the right decision
That's a lovely looking Bay at the end of the video, we really are lucky to have such beautiful locations in the UK 🇬🇧 ❤ gorgeous bass , I've only ever caught tiny schooley bass they're few and far between down my local spot and although I do know of a couple of beaches where people catch em fairly regularly at this time of year but they are remote areas I don't drive no buses and I couldn't manage a 20 mile walk but I do keep hinting to my m8 that I know of a couple of hot spots I'll show him if he doesn't mind doing the transport, it's just too good an opportunity to miss out on this chance of a keeper bass, that said they recently got rid of the species signs and size limits on the piers down south of the island and theirs just one picture of a bass and the take home size has to land between 50cm to 60cm no more no less. Is their any rules like that where you fish? As I know it's different all over the country ie in Cornwall I think you weren't allowed to keep any bass at all for so many months of the season.
Great content, you really earn every fish you catch
Cheers mate 👍
i feel your pain for the bass as i live in oban and bass arent about
Nathan, another great video, just wondering what waders you are using here?
Hi Brian, The waders are old Patagonia Rio Gallegos, not cheap but very comfortable and have lasted me around 7 years, so far.
All the best,
Nathan
Good Stuff!!!!! - 👍
Thanks!
Well done, preserverance repaid! And well deserved
Thanks buddy!!
That is definitely able breaking rock - one reason I cant do it
Man I LOVE TOPWATER!
Me too, I wish it was the only lure we need to catch fish!
Fair play mate you put some miles in there. Do you ever use quick clips ?
I use LMAB Fastach for my lure clips
Great video as always, good to see you got your target species. Fantastic landscape. Was this England Scotland or Wales? Tight lines.
Thanks Col. I was fishing in Wales
I've watched this twice now! Fabulous video... and highlights the importance of moving to find the fish rather than remaining static. I showed the bass catch to my youngest son to prove that you can catch bass very close in, and at the last minute. Cheers for that. You mention you're in North Wales... not to give the game away... but are you on Anglesey or the Lleyn Peninsula?
So that's why I'm getting extra views 😉 Really glad you liked the video and can use it to educate younger anglers. It's on the Llyn
@@SlippyLimpets Nice one! I'm also a Geography Teacher....Love the Geology!
I used to be a rock climber so love a bit of geology too 😉
@@SlippyLimpets Brill! Is it the far West Coast you're on, North or South? i know I'm digging!!!
@@dirtharris Have a look at your geology maps, they'll reveal all:)
why you not take the bass for the plate ?
I had some nice burgers to eat so didn't need to take it.
Underrated channel!
Thanks!👍
Hi what do you think about the fishing rod you are yousing
I absolutely love it! It's the first time I've spent serious money on a lure rod and don't regret it. It's super light and amazingly sensitive, not ultra steely either (which I like). If I had to find something negative then it would be that it's too light to throw a patch 130, but I knew that before I bought it.
fantastic water for drone footage. First time I've seen a lure in action from above like that. Very nice. and neat editing too. I hope you don't mind me asking, but is it you stepping up the footage production quality or a pro? Whoever is making the cut decisions, nice.
I don't mind you asking at all, especially since it's all my own work. Hopefully I'll mange to get a top water take fillmed with the drone before the season is out.
@@SlippyLimpets that would be very cool
5hr drive, 1hr walk, imagine if you blanked 😳😆
Always a risk, but makes landing o e all that more rewarding
@@SlippyLimpets true. I cycled 18 miles to land my first lure caught bass a few weeks back. It was a tiddler but I was made up 😊
Sick
You must have been wrecked after that 😂
Yeah mate, I felt it the next day 😄
@@SlippyLimpets worth it though for the bass. Haven’t caught one on the N/W coast of Ireland yet 🤨, hard got. Really like the channel 👍 Tight lines .
Keep plugging mate, they'll be there. Tight lines!
Nice how you got that hit on top water on camera ! Hard work paying off once again!
Hope to get a bass on top surface this year 🤞
Tight lines 🎣
Hope you manage it, it's the best feeling in fishing IMO. Tight Lines 👍🎣
Great video and incredible place. Where’s this location mate please?
All I'm going to say about the location is that it's in North Wales. Glad you liked the video
