CATCHING BASS ON SURFACE LURES IN WINTER | LURE FISHING FOR BASS

In this video, I decided to go on a last minute bass session and try out a new rod I bought recently. I'd start by fishing a mark I've fished many times before, although this time I'd be fishing a different part of the tide.
Things started a little slowly but as the tide flooded through, a few fish decided to show up. This video is all about bass and catching them on surface lures in the depths of winter. Thanks for watching and see you on the next one 🎣

Hello Cal I am an anglet from Romania and I follow You and your video in order to teach and understand the Sea Bass fishing. Untul now I have 3 sesions of Bass fishing in Mediteranean Sea. Maybe You can listen from my experience. I also have this Shimano Tehnium rod 8.4 lenght , power from 24 to 84g. But what I observe ia that it is too stiff for Bass fishing. Thats why the small bass are not hooked well. Bass are fosh with smouth mouth. I fish this rod in summer in Greece with top water lure and it was perfect. Now for Bass fishing I use Shimano Dialuna S96ML, mode permisive rod. Maybe this spring I came in England for Fishing. Good luck and keep going. 🎣🎣🎣🎣🎣

[@karlstokes874]

Some great sport had there Cal. And off the top too! 👊🏻👊🏻👊🏻

[@diarmuiddrew1190]

I had a session where the bass were reluctant to take, lots of swirls and splashes but no takes. I found that if I retrieved quickly, stupidly fast the fish took hard and I got a number of fish.

[@heinrichrutten2158]

Catching bass in January, you lucky man.great content again

[@tollesbury1]

Wow……awesome stuff Cal. I’m not jealous one bit. 😡🤬😡😡😡😡😡😡👍🐟🐟. (So not fair)

[@angleseytightlines2918]

Wish I could have the patience to carry on with lures.The draw of bait always wins for me. Had over a 100 bass last year but all on bait.

[@FISHINGWITHCAL]

No problem with that mate. If that’s what you’re into then that’s completely fair enough. I fish lures for ease more than anything. I love bait fishing for bass too, along with any other species. If you’re on em’ you’re on em’ so no difference 🎣

[@ritasmith5786]

Nice work Cal. Been looking for a Shimano Technium 8ft 4' 21-54g but can't seem to locate one anywhere. Where did you purchase yours from? loving your videos🐟🐟

[@FISHINGWITHCAL]

Thanks mate. I got mine locally from our tackle shop. I’m sure you’ll find one online somewhere.

[@darrenhulks6020]

Love your vids.need help whats best braid to use on a 4000 bass reel.theres so many . Jusr srarted

[@FISHINGWITHCAL]

Hi mate. There are so many good braids out there it’s difficult to say. Currently I’m using 20lb braid made by Samson fishing but it’s not available on the market at the moment. Previously I was using 26lb Daiwa J Braid which I really liked. On a 4000 size reel you could use anything from 15lb - 30lb really. Ideally you’d want something 0.20mm and under. Shimano actually make some good braid in 20lb which is cheaper too. Best thing to do would be to head to your local tackle shop and ask them. Hope that helps a little. Cheers

[@BeneathTheWavesFishingJersey]

Your not even on the bass 😂 bloody lovely video bud 😊top dangling

[@mat_allthegearfishing]

is it easy to get to from england? like do they do day trips? would love to have a try over there

[@FISHINGWITHCAL]

There’s a boat from England yeah. It’s easy to get over as long as the weather plays ball.

[@allalongthewatchtower_4851]

What weight are the surface lures that you use? I find them difficult to cast with my cobalt 20-50g rod. I think my lures are 20 odd grams

[@FISHINGWITHCAL]

The Patchinko 140 is 28g. I was casting a 125 also, which weighs about 18g and was casting it with no problems.

[@allalongthewatchtower_4851]

Thanks

[@nicks2475]

A stiff rod is probably why you found those first 2 fish come off the hooks. No give in the rod which causes the hook holes to open up with thin treble hooks but great for setting large single hooks though. Enjoyed the video.
