Lure fishing for Bass! (Portsmouth Harbour, UK)

[@davidkent9845]

Excellent video. Very much down to earth with clear explanations. Thank goodness it was not just one long monologue showing fish after fish. Well done and let us have some more. Refreshing.

[@fishingwithharry6765]

Hi David, thank you so much for the encouragement! Really means a lot to me that people enjoy it. More coming soon, thank you!

[@richweston6202]

Great video Harry , really like that you tell us what each lure is ! I'm learning and this type of video is a big help to me. Subscribed 😀

[@ianlaccohee7180]

A great video. Thanks for sharing. I buy most of my hooks etc online, & I find one hook manufacturer versus another have the same size hook number, but they are very different in size when sat next to one another. I bought some VMC inlines & the 2/0 were tiny, so next time I bought Mustad inlines in 4/0, & they were huge. Probably best to take your lure, or at least the trebles with you, so you can match them up when you're buying new hooks. No matter the size of the fish, there's nothing like the feel of getting your lure hit.

[@richardparkhouse9571]

nice no nonsense video as a complete beginner i found it quite inspiring absoluteley brilliant there are so many videos out there that seem to overcomplicate things and can be quite off putting now i have the confidence to just get out there and enjoy myself , thank you Harry 👍👍👍

[@kevinfletcher7471]

Nice vid enjoyed that , little tip on the 2 you missed bigger bass will smash into bait fish to stun them then go for the kill . This is the hard part because instinct and adrenaline want you to keep reeling but pause count to 2 then reel quite often they take on second hit.

[@fishingwithharry6765]

Hi Kevin, thanks for the advice! First time properly bass fishing and with top waters, I think the excitement got to me! Thank you for the tip, I will bear it in mind next time!

[@larrylad44larry5]

Nice one harry …. Keep the vids coming

[@oOOShaunOOo]

Nice video mate, I've been lure fishing down south and haven't caught anything yet but this video has made me want to go out and keep trying

[@fishingwithharry6765]

Thank you! Always good fun, weather is getting colder soon but the bass may still hang around, good luck and thanks for watching!

[@zach5719]

I live near here so its nice to see whats in there

[@neilcole3406]

Great stuff love lure fishing!

[@wetkneehouston6293]

Went out this evening off a ledge in shanklin isle of wight and caught a nice 4.5lb bass off a new lure. Only a cheap knock off patchinko lure I got on amazon too, really pleased tbh, past 3 times within 2 weeks I've been to the ledge I've caught, 5 bass in total all decent sized. I'm new to lure fishing for bass and I'm hooked lol

Big thumbs up for single hooks here. Much less damage to the fish.

Great video, good quality content!

[@robertvivian8100]

Hi mate just subscribed to your channel have are you wearing afresh water suit, liked the top water action keep the vids coming tight lines

[@paulnewsham8939]

I dont usually strike when using the surface lures. Just wait for the weight to come onto the rod then lift in. The bass normally take surface lures with aggression

[@yurikravchenko23]

Best time for bass fishing please, new to this whole lure fishing thing. Cheers

[@gengar3]

Some awesome strikes on topwater there, nicely done Harry 👍

Great video H! Keep them coming.

[@fishingwithharry6765]

Thank you for watching! Will do 🎣

[@sensibill1]

changing trebles to singles I find that going up 2 sizes for the singles works well

[@davidtitcombe4686]

Enjoyed the video, with reference to other books instead of trebles, try assist hooks, use these a lot instead of trebles. Also try size 2/0 or 3/0 circle books and crush the barb, may lose some but better for the fish.

[@fishingwithharry6765]

Will have to give the assist hooks a try! I've got them on some smaller metal lures. Good idea, I have some 1/0 Mustad Kaiju that I've put on a few lures.

[@team-legend-rich-N-leo]

Great video dude

[@daveallen1785]

Good video Mate there are some big bass there I live just up the road fish there a lot good spot had up to 4 to 5 lb fish on 🎣🎣🎣

[@fishingwithharry6765]

Thank you! Ah its a good spot! I'm 45 minutes away so not the easiest to get to each time but has been worth it my last two trips! A 5lb bass is an awesome fish!

[@chanty3804]

What’s the location of the spot mate?

Beautiful fish.

Loving the content bud , in particular the time and effort into the filming quality 👍👍🎣

[@fishingwithharry6765]

Thank you! Means a lots to me and I do put in a lot of time to the editing and filming, think it goes that extra mile!

[@mchipperfield]

Nice video. New to lure fishing myself. Very interested in comment's re treble and in line hooks for surface lures. Have been reading some stuff written by Henry Gilbey, has some interesting thoughts on subject, also advise on inline hooks and sizes. Just got some 2/0 and 3/0 inlines myself.

[@fishingwithharry6765]

I've heard mixed reviews that they change action on lures but for fish care myself I'd always prefer singles. Gilbey is like a bible of bass fishing knowledge! They sound good. I've got size 1 singles but from different manufacturers the size can vary greatly!

[@-therealdank6625]

Good vid, love that spot but not the weeds lol

[@philwatson7192]

Really!!!....7 'dislikes'??? What was not to like about this vid? Anyone who enjoys angling will have enjoyed your work. If you don't like fishing due to morals or whatever....don't watch the vids and then 'dislike' them!! UNBELIEVABLE! - Sorry - rant over - crackin' stuff Harry :)

[@sahbipesca8519]

Hi mate. Lovely filming & editing, well done. Liked & subscribed. Appreciated the live takes/follows on the surface. It is always funny and heartpumping, isn't! If I may suggest, at 5:15, the bass followed your lure nearly until your feet, then a teeny tiny backhand cast would have been enough to trigger another follow and hopefully a take.

[@fishingwithharry6765]

Thank you for watching and subscribing! Means a lot. It does make your heart race and you do make funny decisions! You're right about those bass. They followed so far in i could have recast gently! Always next time though!

[@sahbipesca8519]

Thank you very much, haven't been out much recently but love making videos so will be out soon!

[@rcecil88]

Nice video well done. Occasional pauses can really help let the bass then nail the surface lure!

[@fishingwithharry6765]

Thank you! Noted, I will be pausing next time as I think they were some decent little bass I missed!

[@AvcBalkveDeniz]

Nice video buddy..i subscribed to your channel..good luck!

[@MCMOutdoors]

Great stuff Harry, I've tried (and failed) to catch bass on lures since last summer! I fish from Anglesey - I'd love to know what I'm doing wrong ?!?!

[@seanmccarthy1909]

Try different speeds get floating top water

[@AirborneJAJ]

I'd never caught a bass until a couple days ago, honestly had no idea what I was doing. Was with a friend who had lots a really great gear, yet he had no luck, I casted out this little red paddle tail about 8cm long on a 5g Texus rig and no word of a lie first cast boom. Then nothing for the rest of the session, I guess you never really know what's going to happen on a trip. Alot of these fishermen you see on YT make it look like they're really lucky, but they probably spend hours and cut up the video to include the best parts. This guy is probably one of the most genuine fishermen I've seen on KZbin yet!

[@stuwelshcoastangling6612]

Panic prey v2 my go to surface lure

[@darrenrodd.]

Nice video m8 enjoyed that 👍

[@Trentk69]

Great video - thanks for sharing. Do you know if the hole in the fence is still there, and do the MOD mind you going around that point? I was there over the weekend, but didn't think I would be allowed around there - it was a super low tide so could walk round the front of the fence. Cheers!

[@ReeceG21]

Still there mate was there the other day :)

[@I.have.an.std.]

Good video mate subbed.. just a suggestion but bass have big mouths so a bigger hook size will help the hook up rate. also on the surface lures if you pause after they strike 99% of the time they will come back and hook up! Tight lines

[@acquiredtasteNL]

I use 004 single hooks on my smallest lures and 1/0 on my biggest ones.

[@LeeKirkman88]

silver spinners are a good lure to use

[@soyebravat8903]

Great video!, I'm hoping to start shore fishing after having gone boat fishing a few times, could you recommend what would be a decent rod to buy? I'm hoping for some portability if possible but it doesn't really matter. Just looking for a decent shore fishing and boat rod, don't have any idea what to look for, thank you!!!

[@Anglingaddict75]

Nice video mate! I haven't fished or filmed that side before, should be some biguns there now! Well done mate, got a sub from me!

[@fishingwithharry6765]

Hi mate, thank you very much! Seems to be a productive little spot! Have to say your videos inspired me to get out into the harbour and try!

[@Anglingaddict75]

@@fishingwithharry6765 it has its days that's for sure! Glad the videos were an inspiration! That is the focus of my channel, getting people out and having fun👍

[@msnell9762]

Good video mate , when your fishing the topwater and have a take or follow, stop the lure and leave for a few seconds , you will get more hook ups. Also try the size 1/0 Mustad Kaiju perfect replacement on most lures up to 125mm ,go up to the 2/0 on the bigger lures or metals.

[@fishingwithharry6765]

Good advice thank you! It was my first time fishing top waters so I got a bit too excited! I've got a pack of the mustads size 1, ill change them over! Thank you for the help and the view!

[@bernardsmith152]

Agree with hook suggestions , try the smaller SG seekers for estuary work also rigged with singles , or if weed a problem try a small soft plastic shad on a worm hook behind the seeker.

[@seanrhodes3232]

Hi harry new subscriber so only just discovered your videos. Can I ask if you fish this mark and high or low tide. Many thanks 🎣

Really great vid mate! Been lacking the confidence to head out myself recently and missed the summer fun 😕 Seeing you go about it helps me feel like I won't get laughed at when I head out not knowing a whole lot of practical skills.

[@stevieltiktokshop]

Really good video mate! im just starting to get into lure fishing for bass myself got any tips where i can go around Pompey mate ?

[@fattyboomboom4686]

Do you use a fluorocarbon length of line to the lure and if so what breaking strain, great video by the way

[@slabbyrider8665]

Just bought both on the strength of this video. How did you attach the panic prey? I don't fancy trying onto the split ring. I'd rather remove it so I can get a clip on and off the lure easily.

[@TorstenBioMedic]

The water in Southampton Water is muddy, would it still be worth trying lure fishing?

Great video. Do you rate your backpack and net? Do you mind sharing the make/models please? Im just starting out in lure fishing. Many thanks

[@fishingwithharry6765]

Thank you! I do, the net is a Shakespeare Agility trout net. It's a good little net, rubber mesh so less smelly and less chances of getting the hook fully caught in it. Although the fold out locking mechanism is a little iffy if you're in a hurry! The backpack was from amazon, a 30l pack with a few compartments. For the life of me I can't find it on there again, it may be discontinued! I went for a 30l as nice middle ground to carry all I need. Any decent quality pack with plenty of pockets dotted around would work well for fishing! Good luck in starting, if you have any more questions I'm happy to help.

Hi Mike, thanks for watching! Definitely keep an eye on the tide times but you will be fine to get through with wellies, latest I'd leave there is an hour before high tide! Otherwise its a small swim or a long wait! 😂

[@steeveeleevee6484]

Nice video, thanks. You are blocking the GoPro with your reel arm every time you strike and blocking the action.

[@davidcampbell4264]

Regards size of singles go as big as you can without the hooks being able to hook each other, 1/0 to 3/0 cover most of my topwater lures

[@fishingwithharry6765]

Thank you for the advice, come from a world of really light lure fishing and have been put off larger hooks but I think its probably necessary!

[@jedbasslabrax6077]

Nice vid i dont get many hook ups on singles,what about you.

[@fishingwithharry6765]

I have changed almost every lure I own to single hooks and never had problems with hook ups. Keeping them sharp is the best bet! You will obviously get the odd extra few with trebles but a good set of sharp singles works well.
