@ Hi Nigel , I like fishing but I never done bass fishing in UK , I use to go bass fishing back home , can you suggest a bass fishing place in Essex and what is the best time of bass fishing ?
@tollesbury14 күн бұрын
@ Finding a bass mark takes years of dedication….i suggest any estuary system with a good tidal flow with some bladder rack sea weed for cover in places. Don’t know where you are coming from so can’t suggest a close one for you. July and August the BEST for lures. Most fish present. 🐟🐟

If you dont mind mind me saying slow down a bit on your retrieve especially as the water temp drops you will get much more takes keep up the good videos 👍🏻

@ Hi Tim….cheers for the comment. Unfortunately the JJ minnow is awful worked slow in shallow water. That was about 4 foot deep there with a raging through current. Mr JJ just snags bottom and comes back with a big blob of Blackwater mud stuck on its nose. 😂😂. If I had a weedless and weightless SP on then I would slow down. The JJ is fantastic for me but it’s a bugger in mega shallow even with the rod tip up. I caught one and I was chuffed for a November bass on the lure. If I have another one I’ll try a nice slow retrieve on a different lure maybe. 👍🐟🐟🐟

I’ve tried very slow retrieves with SG weedless sandeels and they just pick up weed and mud. The only lures that i’ve found can be retrieved, bounced, very slow in the Blackwater and Crouch are the gravity stick type which don’t have a nose/nib projecting below the attachment eye. I’ll be trying these a lot more especially in poor light conditions.

At least you got an "alright mate". I've had people fish within 20m without even a word spoke. One night in the summer I was fishing and walked past two guys fishing, I went about 1km past them, within about 15 minutes they were both fishing to my right about 20 metres away, one of them decided he wasn't close enough and had gone behind me and was now fishing within 10m to my left almost over my shoulder, like a bloody pincer movement it was, and not a bloody word or wave from either of the them. I had the last laugh, landing a Bass and then walking between them without saying a word or acknowledging them at all. Very satisfying 😂
