LURE FISHING FOR BASS | CATCHING BASS IN CRYSTAL CLEAR WATER

In this video, I head out to target some bass using lures. It'd been quite some time since I uploaded a bass fishing video and the reason for that is, this time of year can be quite slow here in Guernsey.
After heading to a mark after work one afternoon, I fancied my chances at catching a few fish. so I took that opportunity!
The lure I'd start with was an offshore Shad from Drift Fishing, weighing 30g. I'd be using a Shimano Technium 21-54g lure rod, paired with a Shimano Twin Power 5000 and loaded with 20lb braid from Samson Fishing.
After locating a small bass, I then proceeded to cover some more ground and fish the spots I believed the bass would be. This proved to be successful and sure enough, I managed to find a few fish which made for some fun fishing!
Join me in this video to see how this session went. Thanks for watching and see you on the next one 🎣

Awesome video mate! Your videos are very well done and I love watching! I make fishing videos as well and it’s cool to see what you’re up to!! Keep up the good job!👌👌🎣🎣

[@FISHINGWITHCAL]

Awesome, thank you mate. It’s a lot of fun making the videos. I’ll check out your channel too 👍🏼

[@gordoncarass2360]

Nice one Cal! Great little session and looking forward to those video`s of Summer (if you can call it that) Bass fishing.

[@jerseyroyal9427]

Smashing video mate. Good to see bigger bass about with smaller fish. Nice one.

[@SeanTv8]

Great session Cal. Hopefully the season picks up from here ;)

[@karlstokes874]

No need to apologise for swearing Cal... Losing a decent fish is a wounding experience. You had some good sport, so not all bad 👍🏻

[@adrianbryant7342]

You had a nice session Cal and and it was nice to see a few fish showing. And what a pain that larger one getting off, Gutted 😢

[@Maverick28989]

Hey, I watched your video on you mackerel fishing that you posted about a year ago, how did you lip hold the mackerel? Because the mackerel I have in Canada don’t have teeth on them, and we use mackerel for our bass bait

[@johnrickards1908]

Cracking video Cal, your enthusiasm is infectious. I'd give my right nut for a days lure fishing like that, which at my advanced age would not actually be a great loss😂

[@FISHINGWITHCAL]

😂😂😂

[@FISHINGWITHCAL]

Thanks mate. You know how it goes though, some days they’re there and some days they’re not. Thanks for watching 👍🏼🎣

[@johnrickards1908]

@@FISHINGWITHCAL The nuts or the fish? : D

[@Maverick28989]

And another thing we also do eat mackerel it’s just our bass are only striped

[@jiefrog]

Great Video as always Cal

[@markclohessy1128]

Great stuff again

[@charlieroberts4043]

Amazing video! Just wanted to say huge thank you for the time and effort you put into the videos it’s by far my fav fishing channel. You’ve inspired me to start fishing and today I caught my first mackerel so thank you cal 🙌🏼

[@FISHINGWITHCAL]

@@charlieroberts4043 That’s great mate. Well done for catching your first mackerel. 🎣💪🏼

[@rayharvey1339]

Nice video again mate

[@fishingstevie8830]

Well done Cal some good fishing was had there ..Asking here as norm was into fly fishing some yrs ago now getting into fishing into salt water . Regards braid is braid say best avoided when its a touch on the breezy side , as heard can pick up wind knots often ? Maybe best with Mono or is it best filling spool just with Fluoro whats your take on it ?

[@FISHINGWITHCAL]

Hi mate. I’d use braid all day long. Wind knots aren’t really caused by wind, they’re caused by how the line peels off the reel on each cast. Wind can affect that obviously, that’s why a lot of people shield the spool when casting. Working surface lures in wind can create wind knots because you have a lot of slack line. It happens sometimes but if your reel is spooled properly then you’re less likely to get them. Braid is much more effective for lure fishing, you feel every little knock whereas mono has less feel to it.

[@johnnybreedt3653]

Just shows you can call ch them in all conditions!!! Just need to be willing to do the leg work!!! Well done mate!!!

[@FISHINGWITHCAL]

Yeah that’s very true. If they’re there, they’re there 🎣

[@onecheesey]

Greetings from Jersey mate. Great little channel which is inspiring me & my son to get out & fish 👍😎

[@FISHINGWITHCAL]

@@onecheesey Thanks, I’m glad you’re enjoying the videos 🎣👍🏼

[@georgeholmes6099]

Do you always go out at the peak of high tide cal? Lovely video, simple and fun

[@FISHINGWITHCAL]

No, I’ll fish all states of the tide. It really depends on where I’m going.

[@Hook3d_]

Hi mate, have you got any tips for me I'm going down Devon for week fishing the harbour at Ilfracombe real soon. I have no idea on what bait to use and rigs ect. If you could help me really appreciate it

[@FISHINGWITHCAL]

What will you be targeting?

[@Hook3d_]

​@@FISHINGWITHCAL Hi mate sorry for the late reply 😂 I'll be targeting Pollock and mackerel hopefully

[@edmacfarlane9483]

Nice fishing! Don’t complain about the little ones I’m still trying to catch my first bass!

[@FISHINGWITHCAL]

I’m not complaining mate. It’s all fun. It’ll happen for you soon, just keep at it and once you’ve caught a couple you’ll have the bug then! Good luck 👍🏼

[@edmacfarlane9483]

@@FISHINGWITHCAL I know you weren’t really I was only joking. Thanks bud I hope so just got to find the right places!

Hi Cal really enjoyed your chat with Cormac Walsh on lure fishing podcast, Keep up the good work regards Pat

[@FISHINGWITHCAL]

Thanks a lot Pat 👍🏼

[@cupholder3120]

Whats the reel your using

[@FISHINGWITHCAL]

It’s a Shimano twin power 5000

[@chosenone8454]

Great session Cal

[@gavinarnold4756]

Nice going cal 👏

[@elkayakfish]

Good Work thanks for the video. I just picked up a Samson Rod following your videos, looking forward to catching a fish but man it casts a mile. Keep up the good work!

[@FISHINGWITHCAL]

Yea they do! When the wind is howling over here that’s when I’ll take the Samson rod out. I’ve fished lure into really strong head winds and that thing will punch them out no problem! Good luck with it mate 👍🏼

[@andrewashman3333]

sharp hooks innit - great stuff, ta !

[@garydunstan5825]

Nice one Cal....Good work!....🎣🐟😁👍

Nice to see the Bass coming back in, great vid mate.

Doesn’t matter how long you’ve been fishing, how many fish you’ve caught, losing a goodun always hurts.

[@FISHINGWITHCAL]

Yep 😂

Could Not be better Next Weekend i am of to France and fish for Bass from the rocks Still so much to learn... Tight lines my friend

[@FISHINGWITHCAL]

Sounds like fun mate. Good luck 💪🏼

[@markclohessy1128]

Great stuff

[@mitchellsteele3878]

Brilliant session Cal, personally I would have stayed there fishing as it was that good , you’ll be dreaming of the one that got away , next time eh 👍, cheers again for a great vid , your sand eel soft lure has similar colouring to the lure a mentioned to you previously, Tackle house feed shallow , sand eel or mullet , all the best and thanks again

[@FISHINGWITHCAL]

Yeah I think if I’d have stayed I may have caught a few more fish but I had to be somewhere. Yes I agree, sandeel, mullet imitations are excellent choices of lures. They’ll catch consistently.

[@Freshairnfishing]

Another great vid mate 👍🏻 really good footage and some great hook ups there .. well done bud .. I remember one of your vids talking about the rod/ reels you use and remember you saying your go to rod was the shimano aernos .. was that the one your using in this vid ? If so what casting weight is it ? Thanks for the work you put into your vids .. I’m on the north east coast so my fishing is up Northumberland .. there’s bass here but not in the numbers or size you have down there

[@FISHINGWITHCAL]

Hi mate, thanks very much! The rod I’m using in this video is a Shimano Technium. It’s a heavier lure rod that’s 21-54g. The Aernos is a lovely rod, that one is rated at 7-35g which yes, I’ll use for my general lure fishing. The Aernos isn’t an expensive rod either, I think it costs around £100 so for the price it’s an excellent piece is kit.

[@Freshairnfishing]

@@FISHINGWITHCAL I tried my best to get my hands on an aernos but it seems there harder to find than rocking Horse turd ! .. I’ve spent a little more and ordered the triple cross surf rod 10-45 g .. keep the vids coming cal , there brilliant ! Tight lines bud 👍🏻

[@FISHINGWITHCAL]

@@Freshairnfishing oh really, I didn’t realise that. I picked mine up from my local tackle shop. I’ll have to see if they still have any in stock.
