Epic Days Bass Fishing

[@bazontherocks7159]

Cracking session guys. The video has everything I look for in a well made fishing video. Tips on preparing and presenting baits. A detailed explanation of the simple yet effective rigs you use. And the music was complimentary instead of overpowering. Great job 👍

[@BanditFishingUK]

Thanks very much for the kind feedback. We try our best to pack our videos with info and we are glad you are getting something out of them 👍🏼

[@Bulldog2108]

Great video lads. Never grab the line!!!!!!!!!!!! Especially with bass. As soon as you've done that one head shake and they're gone because the bend in the rod isn't keeping the tension on the line!! Never mind. The bass fishing has really improved over the last few years!! Beautiful mark too.

[@BanditFishingUK]

We had boulders between us and the fish - no way of beaching it. Jason had small hooks on and one was in the bass via a sliver of skin on the lip. Tension was never lost. A net would have done it. Plus Jason made a meal out of it

[@Bulldog2108]

@@BanditFishingUK it's one of those times you have to sacrifice a spine in the finger or a cut from the gills lol. A firm grip on the shoulders is my go to. I had to do it for Tom on the recent bass he's been catching. Even if the rod looks bent the line between your hand and the fish will have lost tension when the fish is thrashing. Usually the tip absorbes that keeping it pinned. It happens though and luckily there was still plenty of fish to be had. Still a great day on the bank.

great video phil i thought jason was going to hammer you mate , stay safe boys

[@BanditFishingUK]

Yeah Jason taught me a lesson on this session. He’s been on fire lately. Thanks for watching!

[@mumblesman]

Back in the day, whenever we fished a place like this we used to cast to the centre of the gulley at low water and tie a piece of cotton on the line just above the reel. That way you could place your bait in the gulley when it was flooded.

[@BanditFishingUK]

Spot on, that’s a good method for being accurate. The other way is to simply use the line clip on the reel spool. In this situation the channel was at Phil’s max range with the lighter rods and Jason was lined up perfectly with it so we didn’t need to but thanks for the great input 👍🏼🎣

This is my regular fishing place. You can fish up to 10.5m swansea scale, off a certain rock there. I had an 8.5lb on crab i was shaking lol. I have since changed to lure fishing there and have had good success. Nice vid boys. Hell of a walk back up init.

Yeah it’s for the smaller tides for sure. The walk back up is a real lung buster!

[@BanditFishingUK]

Thank you Kris!

[@kerryfoster1]

Great sessions guys. One tip I would give you is to stand right by your rods. Bass can take and eject a bait in seconds. As soon as I see a bite I tighten the line slightly if the rod goes down I wind into the fish - never strike it at close range. 95% of my bass are lip hooked. They almost never take a bait down! Looking forward to some more of these videos !

[@troywales983]

a net ,a net , my kingdom for a net .

[@BanditFishingUK]

I almost bought a net literally the day before this session. That fish was 6lb at least. We are still upset about it swimming away without a photo! We live and learn

[@kurluk04]

There are a few hounds and rays being caught around there so you should get in to some fish. Good luck and thanks for watching!

[@dukeonthewater]

Thanks buddy, Sker can be full of surprises, had a small cod on squid there in June, 3 years ago 😮

[@BanditFishingUK]

The codling never seem to leave there. We’ve also caught them in summer on crab baits meant for hounds. It’s a fantastic place to fish 👍🏼

[@BanditFishingUK]

Thanks for watching again Mark. Looks like you’ve watched a couple today. Thank you very much.

[@carldawson832]

Hi chaps you all good , another quality film . I enjoyed that. It looks a nice little mark there . Shame that bass spit the hook. When your casting do you hook your hook on lead wires or leave it hanging when using that rig??. All the best lads from grimsby.

[@BanditFishingUK]

Thanks for watching again Carl. It’s personal preference when casting whether you hang the bait from the grip wires or not. I guess it depends how long a snood you use. Phil used quite a short snood here so it was fine to cast with it hanging freely.

[@seafishing-jonesygonefishi9532]

Great video, as you commented 'wish we had the net', once your hand touches the line/hand balling any fish ..its gone every time.

[@BanditFishingUK]

We didn’t have much option but to go for the line sadly. I could see the hook was in by the thinnest bit of lip and Jason had a small hook on. We couldn’t beach the fish where it was because of the stones between us and it. It makes me a bit sick thinking about it still!

Hi Phil, where abouts in the carmarthen bay was your mark trying to look on google earth for location to drive to. cheers

[@BanditFishingUK]

Near Llansteffan. As with other viewers who wanted the precise mark we haven’t shown it on purpose. It is a potentially dangerous place so we can’t encourage others to fish it. Of course if you decide to search through maps and risk it yourself that’s fine 👍🏼🎣

[@gebear1]

Hi, Phil thoroughly enjoyed the video, what estuary were you fishing at? Tight lines keep them coming.

[@lesglover7016]

love the videos, where are you fishing in this one ?

[@GaragE36uk]

I would like to know that also.

[@BanditFishingUK]

As you would have seen previously we are very open about the marks we fish. This time we have been deliberately vague. The reasons for this are that we were told about this mark by friends and more importantly it is a VERY DANGEROUS mark to fish. We almost got caught out on this very session when we had our backs against a cliff and feet in the water for a long time over high, even on a relatively small tide. We don’t want to encourage our viewers to endanger themselves so we’ve left the exact location out. Of course there will be other anglers out there who know the mark already or will find out but there are plenty of safer estuary marks from the Gower to Pembrokeshire where you will catch plenty of bass.

[@GaragE36uk]

@@BanditFishingUK thats very fair lads..

[@terrr954]

@@BanditFishingUK I was just about to comment. Any locals will know that mark but last thing we want is every body descending on the place. So appreciate your consideration on this one. It is some thing to think about when putting public videos up of peoples local marks

[@davidgreene6390]

Great video lads, like the look of that rig, quick question, a regular beach mark where I fish for bass also throws up hounds, would that rig be suitable for hounds as well? I’d be inclined to go with a gripper lead myself, what do you reckon?

[@BanditFishingUK]

Yes this rig should work for hounds and other fish. The rig is just a running ledger with the extra swivel. Before the pulley came about it was one of the main rigs along with a paternoster. If you need to cast any sort of distance you might be better using a clipped rig such as a pulley as the running ledger is for close or medium range work. Thanks for watching David

[@davidgreene6390]

@@BanditFishingUK gonna make a few of those rigs alright, distance casting not really required for the mark I’m thinking about and those detachable hook lengths come in handy Thanks for vid and reply 👍

[@robc3773]

Nice video. The set up seems a bit of an over kill/ heavy for that type of fishing though ? That’s a set up I would use for chasing sharks here in Australia. You would have much better fun with a lighter set up.

[@BanditFishingUK]

Jason used our standard gear which we generally use for combatting the very strong tides, rough ground and weed. Phil fished a lot lighter with 15lb mono mainline. Jason set the hook on most bites while Phil struggled with the lighter rod for some reason

Great video I just come over your video Where this mark you fished from plz

[@BanditFishingUK]

Hi Dai, it’s a dangerous mark so don’t really want to disclose where it is. I hope you understand. The boys were almost caught out on this occasion fishing s tide that was too big.

[@I8swans]

Where was this to?

[@BanditFishingUK]

Hi Andrew. As in an earlier answer we deliberately didn’t say the exact location of this mark for good reason. It’s a very dangerous mark where you can (and will) get cut off by the tide. We were almost in deep trouble on this very day when the water came up unexpectedly high even on a smaller tide. There are plenty of safer estuary marks between the Gower and Pembrokeshire as I said earlier. I’m sorry it’s probably not the answer you wanted but we can’t encourage our viewers to fish somewhere they could get in trouble. Thanks for watching 👍🏼

[@I8swans]

I use 40lb braid bass fishing, no need for a shock leader then and no knot to catch weed and the bites are a lot more obvious 👍

[@BanditFishingUK]

We like to use 10lb shockleader per 1oz of lead 👍🏼

[@georgecurrier428]

@@BanditFishingUK yeah I do the same, normally when bass fishing though I only use 3oz, 4 max leads and a gentle lob😁
