Bass Fishing: BIG Bass in The Estuary - 20th November 2023

What a Session! A 58cm Bass Rounded Off a 12 Fish Session! 10 Bass and 2 Flounder in a morning session up The Exe. The wind was awful and the water was like chocolate, but the fishing was still amazing! Sit back and watch the session unfold. A last-minute decision to go Big paid off with the catch of the session!

Nice

[@jamesrobertson9930]

Cracking video Dan. I really enjoy how you put your videos together, they make for great watching. Just watch your back on that terrain!

[@FishingAroundBudleigh]

Thanks. I'm glad the effort in editing is noticed and appreciated. I think it would get boring reeling in ten fish in a row so try and keep that for the best of the action

[@adie5271]

Thoroughly enjoyed that mate. Fished Starcross a few times.

[@FishingAroundBudleigh]

Thanks for saying. Glad it was a decent watch. I've not fished Starcross yet but the shipwreck is on my to fish list. Don't forget to Subscribe as there will be plenty more over the winter.

[@adie5271]

​@@FishingAroundBudleigh already have. One question, using those carp rods, what kind of oz weight are you using?

[@FishingAroundBudleigh]

Oh. Thank you 😊 I use 3oz weights. I think it may be pushing it but don't over do it.

Uma pesca que não me dedico, mas aprecio ver.💯🎣

[@FishingAroundBudleigh]

Thank you.

I've fished opposite that mark at the hole in the wall on the Exmouth side every night last week with rag and not so much as a nibble, Nice catch!

[@FishingAroundBudleigh]

Try Blow Lug next session. It works so much better. My last video was at hole in the wall and had loads there last week

[@thornsby49]

Thanks for the advice, where do you get them from locally ? @@FishingAroundBudleigh

[@FishingAroundBudleigh]

No worries. I dig mine at low tide off the Imperial Recreation Ground. Or Hook Line and Tackle have them. Think you have to preorder or reserve it though?

[@thornsby49]

@@FishingAroundBudleigh I'd happily buy some from you if you ever over-stock 👌👌🐟

[@lurekayaklrf]

The other video you said you always put your drag loose as you nearly lost a rod :D

[@PeterFinnis]

Very nice video. Do you ever target the bass on lures in the estuary?

[@FishingAroundBudleigh]

Thanks. Yeah I've had some decent ones on lures up there.

[@ScottyMoDZz]

Hi mate just wandering were that mark is I have never fished exmouth and really want to

[@FishingAroundBudleigh]

This was over near Powderham. But doesn't matter where you fish in the exe. You'll catch anywhere

[@ditch3202]

What source do you use for the estuary tide times please ?

[@vbn828]

go on google and search where you want to fish and tide times

[@FishingAroundBudleigh]

I use an app called Fishing Points. Does way more than just tides. If you log a catch it'll save all the data you can dream of including tide height, moon phase all the way to weather and air pressure the minute you caught

[@Adam_Outdoors]

Which rods/reels you using Dan?

[@FishingAroundBudleigh]

I was using 9ft Wychwood Riot Carp Rods in the one. The last video were 12ff ones. The Reels are Also Wychwood Riot reels

[@Adam_Outdoors]

@@FishingAroundBudleigh Thanks. Will check em out.

[@FishingAroundBudleigh]

@@Adam_Outdoors no worries. I bought them as a "temporary set up" during lockdown. Never needed to replace them and haven't even oiled the reels.
