Hi Matt , I’m 55 and having ago , but I must say your videos , are the best , most other channels leave so much basic stuff out , like you know , you do a bit of a idiots guide, which is exactly what a novice needs ?love them keep doing what your doing . You don’t make silly questions silly . Keep doing it cheers Steve South Norfolk

[@SaltwaterAngler]

Thanks for this feedback

[@michaelwatson7186]

The best video I've seen regarding how to use a lure well done.

[@SaltwaterAngler]

Thanks hope it helps - all condition dependent

[@Brian-mb9ez]

Good video as always Matt, very informative thanks

[@ivanstreet1201]

Superb as always, well done Matt, highly informative & enjoyable. I recently saw a KZbinr from the USA demonstrate a gadget for freeing up snagged lures, you clip it to the line & wizz it down to where the snag is. If it really works it could save quite a bit of money, I've lost count of the number of lures I have lost! I always look forward to your videos, please keep them coming.

[@SaltwaterAngler]

Thanks Ivan appreciate that as always- I’d probably snag the line un-snagger too 😂

[@skateboardingjesus4006]

You can actually make them, out of a hunk of lead and some stainless steel wire.

[@andrewdking]

Probably a device called an otter. Been around for decades and originally used on Salmon rivers from what I remember reading back in the 1960s

I had my pb bass this week, caught on a surface lure (Lurenzo Espetitit). The fish had no less than four attempts hitting the lure before it was hooked, pause, retrieve times four over a distance of ten metres! Great video Matt. 👍

[@SaltwaterAngler]

Woah ! What hooks were you using

When it comes to re tying leaders while out fishing, i carry two pieces of wooden dowel about 4" long in my lure bag now. Use them to wrap the line round when pulling knots up tight. I learnt the hard way to not wrap 20lb braid around a finger to pull it tight like you would with 20-25lb mono. One bit of slip or pull too hard and it cuts deep.

Beautiful fishing mate

[@danharvey7717]

Thanks again Matt. Sort of glad I’m not the only one loosing lures!!! Hate loosing a newly purchased one, especially before it gets a good try-out! So frustrating. (Might start snorkelling around these marks, see if I can start a new collection) 😄😁😄 Keep ‘em coming Matt always interesting to watch 👍🏻

[@SaltwaterAngler]

Thanks Dan, yea I should really cut the braid at the rod tip tie it to a rock and come back at low tide

[@danharvey7717]

Yes I saw that in one of your other vids. Good idea 👍🏻. I worry that a fish might take it and have a bl@@dy lure in its mouth for the foreseeable ! 🥴🥴🥴

[@mikecurtis9617]

Great informative video.

[@SaltwaterAngler]

Thanks for watching Mike

[@ianturner3033]

Great informative video Matt. 👍👏👏 I would like to try lure fishing one day. Unfortunately the coast where I live, and my old weary limbs, don't allow easy access to the better marks. Maybe 1 day.🤞 In the meantime, I am happy watching the likes of yourself and I thank you for sharing it.😄 Take care and stay safe😷🙊

[@SaltwaterAngler]

Thanks Ian, really appreciate your comments and I’m not just saying that- will do my best to entertain - the best thing about lure fishing is you never quite know when there will be activity right in front of you so maybe you will surprised one day- no need for distant marks

[@ianturner3033]

@@SaltwaterAngler I usually fish fish Saltburn pier, so I can sit down if I have to, and have seen lads ledgering off here catch bass occasionally. Could you recommend a lure? Seen bass off the beach too, but ledgering at distance, and I struggle to stand for too long, and a seatbox is no good as I use public transport. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Requested this on you poll, so look forward to that video if it's feasible. Thanks again for your videos. Take care Matt and stay safe.😷🙊 Take care and stay safe.

[@skateboardingjesus4006]

I love those Rapala jointed lures for close in fishing. I even make my own smaller version, for when the larger lures aren't getting a response from the bass. Also, lures are snag magnets and cost a bit of ching-ching.

[@SaltwaterAngler]

Right on

[@Gazzyb2071]

Very informative video Matt, great instructions on how to work the lures. Have you tried an Albright knot for your leader?? 👍

[@SaltwaterAngler]

Yep it’s a second best for me though !

[@tollesbury1]

All those lures you chucked out and not a ingle bass!😂😂 Great video. 👍👍🐟🐟

[@SaltwaterAngler]

I know right ! I don’t want you skipping to the catch do I ! Catches coming soon 😉

[@johnp7880]

Hi Matt. Very informative video. My brother bought me a Xorus Asturie lure i think it's called, have you tried them? Very streamlined, first time i used it i thought it was a rubbish action if i'm honest, just comes straight through the water. Then i started a few taps, walk the dog etc, and it comes to life! As there is no vane on the front, it changes action every single cast. Sometimes it stays on the surface, sometimes it dives. Fast or slow action, it is my absolute favourite lure. I wouldn't say it's the right lure for a beginner, but if you've done it for a while, you can absolutely make it sing! Fishing at the weekend with it, i was only a foot above the water, and the water was only a foot deep. Retrieved to the rock, and then stopped - i don't know why i did. All of a sudden, this bass steamed in, grabbed it, and off he went! So glad i had my drag set. Great scrap, pretty much bang on 3lb, my wife had it for lunch yesterday & today. Lovely

[@SaltwaterAngler]

Hi John , I have and thanks for the terrific comment here 👍 I like your idea of making it sing !

[@ollyjackson8733]

Is 60lb shock leader too thick for 20lb mainline? Really struggled to tie together (with your tutorial) but eventually got what looked fine so retired twice to be sure then loan behold sent a set of feathers and a whole leader out to sea which is grim. It was the leader that snapped as if the main line knot had cut into it.

[@SaltwaterAngler]

Are you talking about a lure set up ? As 20lb braid to 20lb ish fluorocarbon is required. What tutorial ? The fg or the leader video ? Drop me an email on [e-mail] and we can get to the bottom of it 👍

[@ebadd3468]

OSP bent minnow, great for Peacock Bass and Snook

[@SaltwaterAngler]

Ahh yea I’d noticed a few non u.k uses 👍

[@hesalovelybuoy5944]

would these work for pollock? i want to use weedless senkos

[@SaltwaterAngler]

Yes But Pollack are less likely to take Prey off the Surface. Weedless Senkos are a great Bait. I prefer weighted shads for Pollack on deeper rock Marks

[@hesalovelybuoy5944]

@@SaltwaterAngler why do you prefer shads? i think generic silver minnow spinners are the best but i lose at least 1 every session to snags

[@whitetroutchannel]

do bass re-act to speed spinning methods? ive found its an unreal method for sea-trout just wonder would do the bass have the same instinct when the see a bait goin full pelt at them

[@SaltwaterAngler]

Yes at times Bass are unbelievably fast, ive seen them move like lightening. So i would definitely consider whipping those spinners through at top speed at times.

[@whitetroutchannel]

@@SaltwaterAngler do you ever come across sea-trout much mate? most of the bass lures by savage gear and westin where for sea-trout but i never seem to see the 2 fish species mix at the same time for some reason, they both hunt the same "leopard" type beaches

[@naylorchris1975]

I found I have better results when retrieving a hard plastic lure at a constant medium retrieve. However, when the water is cloudy, fast erratic retrieve has better results. This is because the fish needs to use its senses as opposed it’s visual. There are days, I know I’m going to blank. But got to be on it to win. Love the challenge of lure fishing and the less i catch, the better feeling when you do 😬

[@SaltwaterAngler]

Interesting that Chris , That huge bass "EAR" must be quite impressive sensing our lures in the water.

[@naylorchris1975]

@@SaltwaterAngler Not sure what you mean on the EAR Matt, but they can sense disturbance in the water, and that enough to get them interested. I’ve fished for Mackerel on a single lure and have had good sized Bass chase them as I bring them in. So I know speed cAn be an asset. Pending conditions.They are like a barracuda in our waters when they want to feed. 👍

[@garethgrant34]

Is there much of a difference between summer and winter bass fishing?...

[@SaltwaterAngler]

Yes, September to November the best months BUT it’s fishable days due to the weather that are the problem. Seasonally with the lures then winter is good until December here in Sussex however storms and high winds stop us actually taking advantage of it.

[@garethgrant34]

@@SaltwaterAngler Thanks for the reply. Would the above also be relevant to North Devon coastline?

[@stevecr6345]

I’ve just started bass fishing 🎣. I’ve got nothing the last few times in Hastings. At least I know the better months are on the way now!

[@aggassixiaomi935]

Do we really need fg not for bass or simple Albright knot will do the job 😅

[@SaltwaterAngler]

Yes its not a must have and Yes other knots will do the job but run your finger and thumb over a well tied fg know and it is thinner and strong.

[@trampster7306]

Nice one Matt! Mucho useful info thanks. Way behind with KZbin again! I was out recently with the Lure rod, an SG Surf Seeker & other lures, and after a couple of hours I was getting tangles in my Braid. I put it down to the fact that the Seeker rotates as it drops when worked sink & draw, and was twisting the Braid every cast, so it looks like a small swivel will be compulsory in front of the lure from now on. Stay safe & well. 🎣🎣👍👍

[@SaltwaterAngler]

Your back ! Welcome - I’ll have a play with those seekers and see

[@CHOPERUS23]

There's no right and wrong way. First time I used a patchinko I caught 5 Bass in 1 hour. It's more about choosing the right time than choosing the right lure retrieve.
