Bass Surface Fishing & Big Pollock in Clonakilty, West Cork with David Norman

Last summer I had the opportunity to spend a few days fishing for Bass, Pollock & Wrasse with David Norman, aka West Cork Bass. We were fishing from kayaks out in the ocean, off the coast of West Cork, Clonakilty, Ireland.
Had an absolute blast bass surface fishing, pollock fishing on the surface, down deep lures fishing and catching huge pollock on the fly. Surface fishing for seabass is very special and doing it while kayak fishing in the beautiful West Cork area is hard to beat. Hope you enjoy and if you are in the area make sure to touch base with David.

Cant wait to watch this Marcin , 😁👍🎣

[@MarcinKantor]

Thanks, enjoy

[@davedawson9851]

Eyup Marcin. I predict a kayak and we'll see you in it later I would guess. Thanks for the reminder that there is such a thing as summer! Sithi after, Dave.

[@MarcinKantor]

Ha, I know, good to watch that in February! Thanks Dave, sounds good

[@kubastandera2294]

I've been waiting for this movie a lot!

[@MarcinKantor]

Thanks buddy, didn't fit everything, so will be another part. Hope you enjoyed kt

A great watch Marcin,really enjoyed this 👌

[@MarcinKantor]

Thank you Nicholas

[@flash2mc]

Love it. Another great video. Love your take on fishing and how we are always learning

[@MarcinKantor]

Great part of the process 👍

[@kyww3278]

Got to be honest. I was catching way more fish before i watched your videos or anyone elses.... Too much time watching videos and not enough time fishing. If you've an occasion to come fishing Dingle Peninsula give me a shout. I can take you SUP fishing. It's a little less comfortable than the kayak. Or off the rocks or beaches. Very happy to share and definitely even more so to learn.

[@MarcinKantor]

Ha, sorry about that 😂😂 I appreciate the offer, must not be too easy to fish of a sup but it looks very cool. I'm sure it's a great craic when you're on some fish there

[@johnmaskell5124]

I was just bass fishing in Croatia and switching between "regular" bass lures and flies on a bombarda but agonising over the decision between the two setups. I wish I'd seen your teaser fly video before I went!

[@MarcinKantor]

😀 here is one for your next session then John

[@paulhopper988]

Great video Marcin, some cracking fish 🎣

[@MarcinKantor]

Thanks Paul

[@robbysearle]

Marcin, another great video and awesome craic!😊

[@MarcinKantor]

The craic was mighty 🙃 thanks Rob

[@mikeoutdoors22]

Great video Marcin. I'm getting into kayak fishing this year so this just got me more excited 😁 🎣🎣🎣

[@MarcinKantor]

Enjoy the kayak, great way to fish

[@gregd8880]

[@EasterlyWind]

Looking forward to this one🔥

[@MarcinKantor]

[@TheBusterhund]

Can't wait to catch my first cod there

[@MarcinKantor]

Tight lines

[@Alexxx---101]

Would be good to see more kayak fishing on the channel 👍

[@MarcinKantor]

Will have another one coming up from that area

[@bassblanker5359]

Great video, love the banter and awesome to see a whopper plopped actually work. Fantastic stuff, looking forward to the next one.

[@MarcinKantor]

Thanks, tight lines mate

[@bassblanker5359]

Marcin out of curiosity, is your rod with the cork handles a Favorite Skyline TZ pls? Getting a 7ft 6in version as I was blown away by the feel of it, cannot wait to use it for topwater lures.

[@bassblanker5359]

Please ignore me as I am a numpty, I have just read the details of the tackle you used and it is the Skyline.

[@David-xh9cw]

Just taking up fishing Marcin and I'll be trying the teaser all up the north east coast here. Looking forward to it and thank you for your videos, they've helped me a lot so far. I'll let you know how it goes haha!

[@MarcinKantor]

Do that, and thanks David. Best of luck 🍀🎣

[@creynolds1990]

Best part of this video is Marcin constantly taking the piss 😅🤣

[@MarcinKantor]

[@paulcoates208]

@23:24 “oh Jaysis that would be in bits already” 😂 😂 😂 easy to see where you learned your English! Great video man. You have another convert

[@MarcinKantor]

😂😂😂 lol well spotted. Welcome aboard Pablo

[@derekmalone1358]

Great video Marcin

[@MarcinKantor]

Thanks Derek

[@johnglynn5089]

Excellent Video

[@MarcinKantor]

Thanks John, much appreciated

[@MisterSkeptic]

Gread vid. What's the idea of lashing the two kayaks together ? Besides being able to chat while fishing, was there any advantage e.g. slowing down the drift or was it just for filming purposes ?

[@MarcinKantor]

no benefits like that. David tends to do it when guiding less experienced anglers to pass on the knowledge etc. We wanted to show what a guided session would look like. Also helps with filming :)

[@gordondarker4073]

Great big of fishing lads may I ask what line we're you using

[@MarcinKantor]

Just a standard 25lbs 8 strand braid

[@gordondarker4073]

Thanks marcin

[@finsnapper]

If you suffer with wind knots? Pour fresh water over the braid before you start fishing, give it a good soaking. The wet braid doesn't react the same way.

[@MarcinKantor]

Good advice sir, but those Penns David was using are notoriously known for causing bad wind knots. I was just pulling his leg lightly showing how trouble free the twin power is 😉

[@finsnapper]

@@MarcinKantor indeed. I have a spinfisher 2500 and a slammer 3500. Underfill slightly and wet them down. Haven't had a wind knot I 18 months. 😎 Love the vids btw.

[@MarcinKantor]

@@finsnapper good man! I sold mine, another way to deal with windknots 😂😂

[@MickBates-fish-hunt]

Awesome Marcin. Great watch 👌

[@MarcinKantor]

Cheers Mick 🍻

[@samoshea5429]

Any salmon fishing being done for this season

[@MarcinKantor]

For sure Sam, just the schedule is busy till April at the moment

[@rafamydlarz9217]

Hi'ya , awsome video 😃, how long rods u using on kayak??

[@MarcinKantor]

Thanks Rafał, 7ft or 7.5

[@firstnamelastname9013]

🎣🎣

[@davidmackeown6773]

I believe in natural colours but I believe more in working the lure as a injured baitfish. Like twitching the rod on the retrieve, pause repeat.

[@MarcinKantor]

Very good point there David

[@colinpritchard777]

Hi Marvin . Please could you advise where I could purchase a whopper ploper 90

[@colinpritchard777]

Marcin

[@MarcinKantor]

I got mine over in the states Colin. Now they're available from tackle stores in Ireland too

[@hollanspatrick1767]

go for fist time fishing boat union hall whit 8belgian starting sept 9 2024 .but search for fishing on beach.can you give us some adres of spots please?

[@MarcinKantor]

Send me a private message

[@colindean8261]

Flatten the barbs on your hooks! Less damage and suffering to the fish and easier unhooking. Come on, get with it.
