Bass Fishing | Top water, Fiiish Minnow and Shallow Lures | UK Bass Fishing

Probably my last day fishing for bass this year and what a day. The weather was fantastic and the fishing wasn't bad either- we fished shallow reefs and deep water marks with lots of tidal pull.
Top water, Fiiish Black Minnows and shallow divers all caught fish with a nice bass to finish off the day. Got to love uk bass fishing!

Never get tired of the wake a Bass produces when it's about to smash the surface lure 😉

[@SlippyLimpets]

It's the most exciting way to fish, so much so that I rarely fish with anything other than topwater. Probably don't catch as many fish as I could but each TW smash puts a smile on my face

[@richardjones2811]

@@SlippyLimpets That's why I always try to fish before first light. The sea is usually very flat and prime time for the Patch Frosty 2 😉

Bass fishing in South Wales in early Autumn. Nowt finer. They have a lovely old saying down there. 'Berries be ripe, nuts be brown, rod tip up, waders down'.

[@SlippyLimpets]

Don't go overboard on the lures, I normally just have one double sided box. Even then, normally fish with about only 3 of them! 😂

[@shaunelenawilkinson8253]

Superb video cheers

[@michaelliebow735]

As an American on the east coast it surprises me how you have a lot of similar, if not the same, species as us. The bass you catch over on your side of the pond look similar in body structure and are even targeted in similar ways. The only real difference is the size. A starting point for a Striped Bass to be considered large is 40lbs and anything over 50 is exceptional (once in a lifetime fish).

[@SlippyLimpets]

Yeah they're almost identical, we often copy your techniques. 40lb would be amazing! The UK record is about 21lb so we're a long way off you!!

[@raymondthompson2908]

It shouldn't be too surprising that share species, or variations of, as it is the same pond; The Atlantic, that is. And some fish do get around a bit. Eels, for instance, both European and American freshwater eels, all leave home and swim to the Sargasso to spawn, and then back again (I think): the elvers do for sure (personally I wish they'd stay there, but... hey ho!). So, that's my little contribution, and I'll just sit tight now for someone tell me that's all wrong, but.. hey ho, again. Anyway old sport, great video as always and keep 'em coming. Regards. Raymondo

[@barlow2976]

Don't rub it in, we all know your bass are much bigger than ours :)

Another great video. Can I ask what your footwear you use over your stocking foot waders?. I've been using any rock boot I can find at a cheap price that doesn't have any metal on them that can rust, but thinking ahead, as mine are starting to fall apart, I'm struggling to find any I like the look of.

[@SlippyLimpets]

I've got an old pair of Scarpa running shoes, not the cheapest but they have lasted years. They have super sticky rubber soles and have just added some screw in studs that have taken them to the next level in grip

[@markd4337]

@@SlippyLimpets Thanks. That's another avenue to explore. I tend to buy slightly used if possible so might be able to find a reasonably priced pair on the bay.

[@SlippyLimpets]

That's exactly what I did. Any running shoes will do, just take the lining out so they don't absorb any water

[@gingermonkey3525]

Where's the spot your fishing at mate? Lovely coastline.

[@BrianHarrisNI]

Nathan, totally off topic, but what are those trainers your wearing?

[@kevintodd6150]

You say" that's most probably your last day fishing for Bass this year" why's that? Is it because up here on the North East coast (I live in Whitley Bay) Bass are only around in the summer ? I've been building up my stock of metals, plastics etc, hoping to have a go for them over the winter, but is it worth it? Another great video, lovely weather and a few fish: perfect😉

[@SlippyLimpets]

I normally travel to go bass fishing but have ran out of holiday at work so have to fish closer to home. I've landed a good few bass in our area in winter but always on bait. I'm sure they could take a lure but there's not many bait fish/sand eels around in the winter so think they shift their focus to crabs and worms. Always worth a try though!!

[@davecosgrove8787]

I caught my first bass in years off a beach in Fife last December. I was more surprised than the fish was.

[@kevintodd6150]

Dave, that is the one thing I like about to sea fishing as opposed to course, fly et cetera, you never know what you are going to catch. tight lines mate

[@kevintodd6150]

Thanks for the quick reply Nathan. I will try and pick my days during the winter and give lure fishing a try. I have had the odd Bass off Sandy Bay when fishing for cod at night during the winter. My family had a caravan at Sandy Bay for 40 years and there was always quite a few Bass from Sandy Bay/Cambois beach around the hot water outlet pipe from Cambois power station, which has long since disappeared. Thanks once again 😆👍👍👍

Hi, what rod & reel do you recommend for sea spinning , im more used to bait fishing and fancy a change thanks

Thanks , i'll have a trip up to morecombes tackle shop, happy to catch anything really , my daughter just gets fed up bait fishing, hoping spinning will keep her moving, thanks

I'm deaf so would appreciate a reply. I will be using a megabass Zonk in the local south coast harbour soon. Should I reel it in steady or reel and twitch the lure? Thank you

I'd say try both. If the straight retrieve doesn't work then stick in a few twitches and see if makes the difference. If not then change to a lure that has a different action or working depth, and repeat. Hope this helps👍🎣
