Flyfishing for Seabass on the Rocks

[@eileenhenryselby-smith9762]

Bit of an unceremonious release there! Nice fishing though

[@castbyjohnflytying]

Was thinking the same.

Looks like you have awesome day mate 👌 I wish one day to catch a bass on a fly, now I'm doing only pike fly fishing 🎣🐟 Subscribed mate looking forward for more bass fishing 🎣 also maybe you could drop few tips where to find them ?

[@fishermanstales8946]

Hello EUAngler, i also flyfish for pike. Seabass i flyfish for in the summer, late summer. Seabass loves warm water, current . Look for skools of sandeel and seabass that hunting them. Keep a look out for sternbirds who dive in the water. On my video's you will hear them screaming and see them dive in the water. They work together. Seabass drives them upwords and attacks the sandeels, the sternbirds attacks the sandeels from above. That way you can see where the seabass are. The tide comming in is also good. That is a Tip how to find them. Also do not give up!!! This year it was not good. Good luck!

Spearing the fish back into the sea doesn’t do any harm, in fact it’s the best way to approach the release. It’s different with specimen size bass, they are best released sympathetically, but the school size bass recover far more quickly after a spear release.

Thank you David for you're comment.

[@beachcaster56]

Treat those fish with respect..not like trash.

[@paulhughes7079]

A fish every cast. Brilliant.

[@fishermanstales8946]

A school of seabass.

[@petermitchell421]

Mate use a net and handle fish with care always. It’s a sport not a race?

[@markmccarthy456]

No commentary. What’s the point and yes very poor handling of the fish.

[@PaulConnor100]

Well done! Sir if you fell in you'd probably come out with a Bass below your arm.🍺🤣

[@fishermanstales8946]

Good tip, i will try it next time.

[@LeonardDavich]

which country are we fishing in, here ?

[@fishermanstales8946]

This is in Belguim. At the coast.

[@LeonardDavich]

Fantastic @@fishermanstales8946, I'll look into moving there..

[@indiro100]

Breker right from you is a better one 😂

[@markmccarthy456]

Some commentary on tackle and technique would have been helpful. Otherwise it’s just a silent video of someone fishing.

[@fishermanstales8946]

Hello Mark, the tackle i use is a 7wt 10ft Loop Cross S1 rod with a Spectra D2 line. On that i use simple monoline lightbrown color about 1,5metre , 0.30mm diameter. The fly i use here is the sparkling clouser. The purpose of the youtube canal is to show which fly's to tye for you're flybox and have a good starting point to catch fish. To prove the fly's that i tye work is to tye them and then go fish with them on several times and show the video. You see flytyers tye thousands of fly's that costs a lot of money. But you never see them fish with them! And yes this is a amateur canal. If you have other questions let me know. Thank you for taking the time to watch the canal.

Why do you call them sea bass? They're bass just bass! "Sea Bass" is an affectation of the catering trade who are also responsible for "salmon trout" to describe sea trout but which are usually rainbow trout reared in salt water. You'll not find a reference to sea bass in any fishing book or articlle pre about 1990.

[@karlnoonan5597]

Sorry but I do not like the way you handled that fish. Have some respect please

[@barrywilliams7253]

I have never seen fish treated so crudely ,a sign of the times it seems
