Great video Matt,fishing as it really is,I swear I could see myself there with you,had many nights just like that and enjoyed every one of them,thanks again at mike

[@SaltwaterAngler]

Glad you enjoyed it, I find Fishing sometimes a bit of an up and down i go from wildly optimistic to deflated depending on the fish! Think that comes across glad im not alone !

[@philipharris7594]

I have vertigo and everyone finds it hilarious when i cast i'm all over the shop.

[@OnStageLighting]

Shore angling in the UK is mostly waiting around, deciding nothing doing for several hours, then catching a strap or doggie and suddenly in your mind the sea is teaming with life including that next monster bass. Get the next bait in the water and all motivated again. Go home several hours later after no further bites. FML.

[@ukgraffitiwalker8846]

Thumbs up for this video, very enjoyable.

[@SaltwaterAngler]

Thank you for watching

[@loooodoooog]

Looked like very “Bassey” conditions. Thanks for the great content especially the older rig making vids. Much appreciated 👍🏼

[@SaltwaterAngler]

thanks, nice to know someones watching those videos. I think i did them before i had the courage to put my face on Camera.

[@shakirmisbah4183]

Awesome Video. Happy Fishing.

Just found your channel mate. Love it. Live in Torquay and off to the channel at Shaldon at low tide today. Watched a couple of your Teignmouth ones earlier

Nice one Matt. Few good fish at least it’s something rather than a blank 😊😊😊

[@SaltwaterAngler]

Yea a Bass is always a good Day

[@shuggiemcg1]

Thanks as always Matt another great video

[@SaltwaterAngler]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@stephenking78]

Great videos & tips, always appreciated Matt.👏👏👏

[@SaltwaterAngler]

Thanks for watching again Stephen

[@anthonybox8016]

After a whole series of blanks I would love to catch a Dogfish or any fish LOL. Good video thanks for sharing.

[@SaltwaterAngler]

Yep I’ve had those series.

[@nicholascavie2464]

Awesome again Matt, loved fishing Hastings/st Leonard's beach in Autumn ,always good 4 Dover soles, would drop baits close to the end of the groyn 4 deeper water holes ,but back then thay were made out of cobble stone not wood .Happy catching from Australia Nick

[@SaltwaterAngler]

Enjoyed reading that happy memories mate

[@johnsmith-rs2vk]

yep ,very bassy . Great stuff .

[@danharvey7717]

Thanks for sharing Matt. Baby dogs ! Frustrating when your hoping for Bass. Oh well next time. Great vid 👍🏻👍🏻

[@SaltwaterAngler]

You bet , not a total disaster I bet it was swarming with them in the sea at one point

[@danharvey7717]

@@SaltwaterAngler yeah, damned elusive, when they want to be - usually when you feel optimistic 😄😁 Had a good run this year though - even with 3 weeks away (when it was mostly raining) Still waiting for the biggy though. Got a few more kayak days left I recon 🤞🏻🤞🏻 Keep ‘em coming. Hope to catch the live stream if I’m home in time 👍🏻👍🏻

[@johnsmith-rs2vk]

Wessex rig close in . Big squid or mackerel bait on the 6/0 3/0 running ledger , 3/0 top snood with big worm bait . Can be deadly for that big bass .

[@ironix1]

Your casting method is fine Matt. Ideally, your rod should be left pointing 45° or slightly above and your left hand should finish up tucked in just above your left hip. Try and keep both feet on the ground for stability. Practise makes perfect (or close to it!)

[@declanfoley7562]

Everyone remember dogfish regurlarly beach themselves after you put them back in. So keep an eye out after catching one

[@SaltwaterAngler]

Good thinking

[@unearthed-detecting-tv]

well done matt, a decent film all round that

[@SaltwaterAngler]

Thanks for watching.

[@anthonywilson8998]

Enjoyable vid .

[@Robs-Fishing]

Hi Matt. Thanks for the video. perfect timing. Just got in from a busy day at work. Food and fishing. Love it :) I honestly half expected to see a Codling. there has been quite a few coming out in our town and the next one over. Still a great watch as always.

[@SaltwaterAngler]

I’ve never had a codling from a Sussex Beach! They don’t want to be steeling those bass baits 🤣

[@Robs-Fishing]

@@SaltwaterAngler Hahaha. I think the bass will be around for a bit yet.

[@christopherramsey9940]

Great video as all ways👍

[@SaltwaterAngler]

Appreciate that

[@thehooky2812]

Good Angling, Weve been on the beachs fishing ourselves... tend to get the bigger bass this time of year! TIght lines - Thehooky2

[@SaltwaterAngler]

Good stuff! Yep best time for bigger Bass here - Just need to see them now

[@SolentAngler]

Nice going Matt. Interested to see that sole in daylight. Very little chance around here of getting them off the beach outside of darkness. I too fished the recent big tides (for bass and sole). Very disappointing though. I find locally the biggest are not always the best though.

[@SaltwaterAngler]

Thanks yes getting the odd one now , we do have very murky water here though at times

[@minstrelblue6853]

Great info. I recently had two gentle but definite pulls on a large bait very close in , gave it time but whatever it was moved on. I must try holding my rod more😅😂

[@SaltwaterAngler]

Yep, me too

[@rickphillips5098]

This may help , fishing close in with large baits in the surf ! I use largest weight and short hook length,so it acts like a bolt rig when carp fishing ! My father goes one step more and uses trebles like he is pike fishing!! Like he says !! There's not enough fish out there and bait costs a fortune these days ! Then he goes on about how great it was 50 years ago ! Good luck next time and hopefully those 2 pulls become catches ! Also use sharpest hooks known to man and check them every re cast ! I've had the points burred over when fishing in the surf

[@ionutoncescu]

Well done Nice session

[@SaltwaterAngler]

Thank you 👍

[@dangerranger9492]

At least your catching mate! 😂😂 tight lines.

[@SaltwaterAngler]

Yep but just want More and bigger !

[@jonathanlawrie552]

Been out these last few days on these massive tides I fish seaford and newhaven alot and its fishiing well down here Lots of bass about and some big eels Saterday night just gone Was epic mate I also use 2 of the surfblaster 2s 7000 and iv had them 6 years They are truely a proper beach fishing reel So reliable matt ❤ your vids mate i never miss them Truely the best youtube sea angler Your videos are so relatable I hope to see you on the beaches one day mate 👍

[@SaltwaterAngler]

Great updates there and thanks as always for the comments.

[@ianlaccohee7180]

Another great vid, as always. I recorded my casting, because I couldn’t consistently get any decent distance. I soon saw that I was pulling my arms in, instead of keeping them straight. I managed to sort this out to improve distance (a bit lol), so well worth the time it took.

[@SaltwaterAngler]

Good one , I find slow motion just from a camera phone is great at picking out my defects!

[@michaelodonnell7011]

Casting isn't 100% easy, fishing is just good fun 😊

[@SaltwaterAngler]

You got that right!

[@hazzardoutdoors]

Thank you for that advice on the low points by the breakers, never thought of aiming there. Higher risk of losing rigs i suppose. How heavy weight would you use here close to the breaker to hold it...

[@SaltwaterAngler]

Yea Grip leads and type of rig also important.All depends on the swell. With Braid it cuts through the wave action and can hold bottom with just 3oz

[@stiofain4693]

I’d love to get this on my local beach to see what’s about, it’s not known for great fishing

[@SaltwaterAngler]

Some beaches suit certain conditions, this is one of them. Not always Great

[@richardw6256]

Haven't been sea fishing for about 4 years now, do the newer rod tips show up better now. without the need for small glow sticks to show bite detection . Tight lines

[@SaltwaterAngler]

Yes thinner tips , but a good quality rod will also show bites even with a stiffer tip.

[@DavidBing-t5k]

Great video Matt. Could you give me some advice. I am no a big caster (50/60 yards) and have injured by right shoulder which takes all the strain when I cast. I also reel in using my right hand holding the rod with my left. How do I train myself to cast left handed or am I limited to short flicks without putting too much pressure on the injured shoulder? Regards, Dave, broadstairs.

[@SaltwaterAngler]

Interesting question. A longer softer rod (continentals) have really helped me where your not putting too much power in to the cast. A venue that fishes well in close maybe ? I’m sure though we could all cast left handed it’s that old practice thing ? I might have a go next time I’m out

[@chelmsfordtreeservicesltd5493]

Great video again. Terrible casting 😊😂

[@SaltwaterAngler]

Lol i'm sticking with the bad shoulder excuse

[@allenbrown8158]

Hi Matt good vid as usual, what beach light do you use, and I now keep one reel with strait 30lb line which is strong enough for a good overhead thump and avoids the annoying weed clump on having a Leeder knot.

[@SaltwaterAngler]

Straight 30 a good option now we are heading to weed time! Yea i have found a no-brand amazon head torch usb chargeable for about 12 quid is brilliant. My main Lights though are for filming not really suitable for fishing .

[@minstrelblue6853]

Good videos and informative. Was just wondering about you taking and holding the rod from the tripod. Obviously you suspect a ' bite' but what line/ rod sensations are you feeling for?, knocks, pulls, slacking ?

[@SaltwaterAngler]

Depends on type of bait (peeler crab especially good for this- but bass definitely pluck a couple of times first . Don’t strike to set the hook. With Bass after a couple of plucks something more substantial means it’s hooked. Very often the rod bends over as it either lifts the lead out the silt or is swimming off with the bait. Then you lean in to the hook. Most flatfish will set themselves and there is no need to hold the rod in my experience. Very rarely loose a bass once hooked. Often loose strap conger as the drop the bait in the surf!

[@ukgraffitiwalker8846]

Hi Matt, What make are your waders please? I'm looking to get some so I can fish new shallow marks. Oh, and when's the penn rod review coming out? I want another penn rod, I have a penn wrath, it's really good.

[@SaltwaterAngler]

I’m working on the penn video now . I’m no wader expert my ones are just some cheap ones from Amazon. I do need some proper ones though so will also be looking at those shortly too. Maybe ask slippy limpets for wader advice

[@patkelly3672]

Thanks for that Matt what beach was you fishing from.

[@SaltwaterAngler]

This was near Bexhill

[@ironix1]

Life is too short for cheap reels Matt. Let me know if you need a reel

[@SaltwaterAngler]

Thanks yea I’m repairing an old one now the sonik avx just paid £8 for a spool cap and with some new washers it should do the job.

[@ironix1]

@@SaltwaterAngler Good luck. I used to repair, modify, service all of mine. Haven't done it for ages. Just short servicing now.

[@charlesgould1962]

God bless relinsing the breeders

[@SaltwaterAngler]

Yea i will occasionally take a fish but hard to take big Breeding fish too

[@ricardomarques4786]

Continental rods vs standard 2 piece beach rods. What are your thoughts on them and what do you prefer?

[@SaltwaterAngler]

I grew up on Standard Beach casters and Multipliers from Zziplex and Daiwa. Those days more times were spent on deep Rock marks of North Wales . As i've got Older i prefer continentals for a more relaxed cast over clean ground. I like that i can use lighter leads and still cast a good distance. So horses for courses really depending on Venues

[@ricardomarques4786]

Thanks for your opinion. We dont have 2 piece English beach rods here but I am considering ordering one from the UK, the thing is I only fish clean beaches with very thin monos

[@leoncox2405]

Pesky dawgs 🤣

Yep, Hey dont dis a dog it might be all we catch some days
