LURE FISHING FOR BASS IN WINTER | CATCHING BASS ON SURFACE LURES | PATCHINKO 140

After a few weeks of not getting out much, I headed down to a mark to try for a winter bass. With recent reports of other anglers having success on surface lures, I was keen to get into the action myself. I'd be using the Patchinko 140 in 'Nacre' which is a good choice for a day like this one when the water is a little murky and a strong wind would be blowing the lure about in a bit of chop.
It didn’t take long to find the fish, I was hit by a small bass on the very first cast, however, my camera froze so I missed the fight on film. I'd go on to catch a few more fish during this session which was all caught on film. Check out the video to see how it all went on this wet and windy day in March 🎣

Really enjoy your videos - you've inspired me (a lifelong coarse angler) to buy a lure rod and try catching some bass!

[@FISHINGWITHCAL]

That’s good to hear, thanks. Once you managed to find a few bass you’ll have hours of fun to look forward to chasing them. Cheers 👍🏼

[@colinjewell5838]

Great video with some lovely Bass caught. Thoroughly enjoy your videos, thanks for perservering in poor weather conditions.....tight lines fella.

[@FISHINGWITHCAL]

Thanks very much mate. I’m glad you’re enjoying the videos. Being in part of Britain, we have to put up with the terrible weather throughout the year 🤣 it’s worth it though!

A Bass is a Bass in March, an that's a fact!!!! Topwater Bass in March is mental..

[@onemorecast5150]

Great session Cal. A boot full of cold sea water is not a good thing but you are the connoisseur of the bass fishing lure. Tight lines and stay safe. Mike

Thanks 👍

Can’t think of many places where you can catch bass on a surface lure in March!!! You make it look so easy!!!!

[@FISHINGWITHCAL]

You ever had one off the top Johnny? If not, we’ll have to go sometime. It’s a lot of fun

Wow, what an awesome sesh. Good to see someone catching on the lures. Cant wait to get back out. Beards rock!

[@FISHINGWITHCAL]

It’s been quite tough before this session. I’d not been out much so was happy to get into a few on this occasion.

[@alconger47]

Great vid as ever Cal…..👍 I always return all my silvers especially the breeders, but like yourself when one that takes it down to far you’ve got to think of the Bass welfare after letting it go, knowing that it might really suffer or die! Keep up the great vids bud! Top work! Alan 👍💪🎣🐟🐟🐟

[@FISHINGWITHCAL]

Thanks mate. I’ll never throw a dead fish back (providing its in size obviously) it never goes to waste. I appreciate every fish I ever keep. It was a shame on this occasion but as I said, it was thoroughly enjoyed. Cheers 👍🏼🎣

Great fishing Cal Great to see you hook up a few basils!! Had a few casts in Kerry over the weekend but no luck Should be better next month 🤞🤞

[@FISHINGWITHCAL]

Hopefully mate. You fishing the open sea or estuaries?

[@johnharty9409]

@@FISHINGWITHCAL Both Cal Trying for a Sea trout in the estuary at low water and an hour of the flood then I head to Brandon bay for a Basil Hopefully I’ll get back down to Kerry next weekend to wet a line🤞🤞🤞

[@SolentAngler]

Great session Cal, especially for March. Makes me wonder if I should head out and try for one here in the Solent. Sea temp still hovering around 8 degrees though ...

[@FISHINGWITHCAL]

It’s worth a try mate. Fish the shallowest water you can find on a really shit day of weather. Find the tide and you may just find the fish. Sea temp here is 9 degrees now

[@melvjohnson8773]

Having a lack of motivation myself Cal, so your not on your own, glad you got out and had a good afternoon, thanks for sharing👍🎣

[@FISHINGWITHCAL]

Once you’re out there and it all comes together you really can’t beat it eh.

[@remzigokalpkaska9041]

Excellent. If you come Bodrum /Turkey,I want to meet you. I want to go fishing with you.

[@FISHINGWITHCAL]

Maybe one day 👍🏼

[@ironmanmichael]

Another entertaining video, Cal. Quick newby question for you (or anyone) if that’s alright - when pike fishing I’ll use a swivel somewhere to stop line twists but I can’t spot any in bass fishing vids. The lures look like they won’t usually spin but is this something to think about?

[@FISHINGWITHCAL]

Where would you normally put a swivel for pike fishing? (Sorry, I’ve never targeted pike before) I use a swivel to connect my leader to the braid but that isn’t to prevent the line twisting, it’s just personal preference. The only lures that will spin your line when fishing them are things like a savage gear seeker because they spin in the tide. Apart from that most other lures won’t twist your line.

[@ironmanmichael]

@@FISHINGWITHCAL swivels usually go in the same place, between the braid and the wire trace (leader). Actually, it was the savage gear seeker I had in mind. Sounds like it will benefit from a swivel too. Thanks for taking the time to help. Much appreciated. 👍

[@AndyJohnJones83]

Great vid 👍subbed

[@FISHINGWITHCAL]

Thanks 👍🏼🎣

[@Brunnen_Gee]

How are those lure clips working out? I've never seen anyone here in the US use them before, but lately I've seen tons of content creators from across the pond using them. A lot of people use swivel clips here, but it's considered an extremely amateur thing to do. I'm tempted to buy some of those clips and give them a go. I'm getting older and my eyes aren't getting any better. Tying knots in the sun and wind sucks sometimes.

[@FISHINGWITHCAL]

Personally I like these clips. They’re from TheLureFactory.com Breakaway clips are popular here but swivel clips aren’t great. They catch too much weed and affect the way the lure works in the water. These clips are easy to quickly change lure which I like.

[@benlepoidevin7047]

let me know where you're going to be Friday 10th, I'll be out and as the fish seem to follow you around I'll have to follow you around!
