Lure fishing for BASS + unexpected capture of a RARE species (Hamble)

[@fishdisco3107]

Loved it lads, keep em coming, you’ve got some bragging rights with that shad, great to see…well done!

[@Pondeye]

Haha cheers mate! Bit of a strange one, not a area known for its shad 😂

[@gregfaux3445]

Great video guyz, and fwiw I would not have known what that shad was!

[@Pondeye]

Haha had no idea either

[@gregfaux3445]

I’ve sub’d to your channel. I fish all but exclusively for bass and by this time next year The Hamble might well be among my new local waters😏

[@user-iw6bv5zs8q]

Great job on the mystery fish! Keep it up!

[@BA42197]

Great video lads that’s where I fish!

[@Pondeye]

Cheers mate, can be quite a productive area on it’s day!

Good Video. Really enjoyed I think Gary is trying to say in his own little way. That your giving away marks ie where to Fish and those then become overfished. Re the comment about car parks spaces. As to how much more popular it then becomes is anyones guess . Tbf it's not hard to guess that if you put a spinner out anywhere in and around Portsmouth/Hamble point and the solent you won't be far off a Bass. I only learnt from this particular video that the access is good at that spot. It's a contested subject and you'll find most will give an idea of the area buy not Specific marks etc. After all part of the fun is the hunt Good luck

Cheers mate, I get the point Gary was trying to make just the way he worded it was a little bit nonsensical and patronising. He was talking in regards to the video previous which was at Milford shingle bank so hardly giving away any secrets there. Thanks for watching👌

Impossible to tell the difference between shads unless you cut em up! Nicely done returning it swiftly

[@Pondeye]

Haha thankfully we decided against that option 😂

Who told you that your not allowed to take photos of the fish????

[@Pondeye]

If you mean the Shad, i was told online they aren't allowed to be targeted on purpose and if accidently caught return to water immediately as they are a endangered species

[@dryflyman7121]

I always thought shads were freshwater fish? Goes to show what I know after 68 years fishing 🤣

[@Pondeye]

From what I’ve researched I think they’re similar to salmon in that they are born in freshwater, live most of they’re adult lives somewhere in the Atlantic Ocean and then return to spawn. I had only heard them vaguely mentioned as if some sort of mythical creature 😂

Hamble is good if you no the tides, bait method and the suss! I used to earn a living here catching bass on the rod!😅

[@Pondeye]

Haha no way I’ve not been doing so well this year on the bass front need to get back up there soon for another go.

[@shaunpreston2839]

Yea that is one off the top bass spots in the country! 2 hours after low tide! Happy fishing!
