SEA fishing U.K Uncovering this NEW marks Secrets

[@johnsmith-es7zk]

We do all have our favourite marks but the sea bed changes, especially after a big storm, so we must always be prepared to seek out new marks. A once prolific spot can suddenly stop producing and we must walk away from it and look for where the ground is better. I have known anglers who fish the same spot year on year because they once had a tremendous catch there and they just can't go anywhere else.

[@SaltwaterAngler]

Thanks this is a really insightful observation 👍

[@BF4pawntard]

As someone new to beach fishing I have learned a lot from this channel and look forward to each new video

[@SaltwaterAngler]

Thanks that’s good to hear

[@l.r.sfishing4011]

Top class as always. That cast of yours is so smooth love it!! Was really pleased you got the bass and the bonus of the flounder! I love the flat fish. Great video mate all the best tight lines 🎣🎣🎣

[@SaltwaterAngler]

Hello mate, thanks im a bit more rusty when i go full pendulum though

[@stephenking78]

Always look forward to your videos Matt, so entertaining and down to earth know how. Keep em coming👏👏👏❤️

[@SaltwaterAngler]

Thanks so much!

[@tonyconnolly9847]

You are one of the best , entertaining and informative,luv your vids good luck tight lines.

[@SaltwaterAngler]

Glad you like them!

[@nicholascavie2464]

Awesome again Matt, I used drop nets baited with fish heads and frames to catch prawns with a lot of success, fished Bexhil a fair bit, there was a spot on the way to Bexhil u could go under rail bridge to get to beach , always did well at that spot , I think I told u before about fishing from the storm water drainage outlet at warrior square, using prawns fishing the gap between the rocks either under a float or on the bottom

[@SaltwaterAngler]

Sat here nodding mate ! Yep 👍

[@kevinstyles8421]

Very informative video very good for parking I’ve had a. Few thorn back rays from their

[@SaltwaterAngler]

Nice that’s good to know , I’ll be going back again I think

[@tonycamplin8607]

As you say there's probably no need to cast that far out. Back in the 1950s we only had wooden reels and cotton line so you couldn't cast that far, we still caught lots of fish though. I used to use a shrimp net like that to commercially fish for brown shrimp in Pevensey Bay. There were tonnes of them, you couldn't pust the net for more than about 30 yards because it got too heavy. It's maybe just looking back when everything was better!! but what a disappointing days fishing you had. We used to fish for the table and for only short sessions but we still caught lots of fish from all along the Sussex coast. Good luck.

[@SaltwaterAngler]

Loved reading this thank you

[@KeefsCattys]

Really enjoyable watch Matt. Brilliant stuff. Tight lines

[@SaltwaterAngler]

Thank you

[@Robs-Fishing]

That was a good watch thank you. Its good trying new spots. I have recently started venturing to Eastbourne for some Smooth Hounds. As soon as this gully water clears up I'll be back on the lures.

[@SaltwaterAngler]

Yep it’s clearing as we speak I’m looking at the beach now

[@MrMerciless67]

Usually I fish at the square modernist house about half a mile further up cooden drive or at Glyne gap nearer st Leonards but i will be trying by the cooden beach hotel in future thanks matey

[@fishingat]

Enjoyed the content of this video, simple tactics and fish caught. Thanks for sharing

[@SaltwaterAngler]

Thanks for commenting appreciate that

[@AndrewVine-oz1ox]

I have fished that beach many years ago at night, it's a good beach most of the time, i have also used a net the same size as a young lad, catching shrimps at bridge way beach, not far from Bexhill, excellent video, thank you.

[@user-ze4fc2gx3q]

Nice little session at a new spot nice fish too well done.

[@SaltwaterAngler]

Thanks

[@leehotspur9679]

Good to see you again Matt a nice little episode I fish the similar grounds here in BOP NZ Troughs and banks During the day and sunny the fishing is poor Due mainly to flying predators Gannets etc. as the water is clear Main catches are early morning and evening at the change of light or very overcast days ,especially after stormy weather ,when the fish come in to feed on the Shellfish beds that have been exposed Keep them coming Matt ,Much appreciated

[@SaltwaterAngler]

Thanks for the info!

[@davetevens5080]

Excellent video Matt. Great bait info and I keep saying we all tend to over cast. I think we are all under the impression cast further the better. As you’ve shown it’s not always the case. Nice few fish happy days 😊😊

[@SaltwaterAngler]

Yes glad you noticed that , it was nice to wait for the fish here. Hopefully next time some more bass

[@brianpask8955]

I have fished plenty of times around that area but never where you were! Bad me! Good to see fish caught closer in as well.

[@SaltwaterAngler]

It’s that sandbank Brian - I recon fish will want to be first in to that gulley. Rag worm not so much in demand near us is it but a good bait underused. *edit for spelling

[@brianpask8955]

@@SaltwaterAngler rag is not often available in Hastings but I do use it when I go to Eastbourne. I agree with your thoughts about the gullies - always a good place to try. I have found a few newly created ones locally - waiting to get down there to try them

[@DanielPilcher-ig2eb]

Nice video as always Matt! I’m certainly learning a few things 👍🏻

[@SaltwaterAngler]

Cheers yes that rag was useful

[@stiofain4693]

Good fun Mat.. many thanks for the videos

[@SaltwaterAngler]

No worries I enjoy making them too !

[@robertgoodwin4915]

Haven’t lived in Bexhill for a long time but often wold get Bass off beach at Sackville. There are rocks that go out from bottom of beach to the South east and there used to be a small area of sand that was fishable at high water. Often not much shingle though so may have to fish off the promenade if still permitted to do so. Lob out a bait where the promenade bulges out. Chance of both conger and bass. Re the prawns I used to use a spoon net and tickling stick to great effect enabling you t explore all the nooks and areas under overhangs etc.

[@seafishinggirl]

Love the videos

[@stephenboreham9056]

Very enjoyable video 😊

[@danielbrice264]

Thank you! Really enjoyed your adventure at the new venue.

Hi Matt, how about showing how to make a push net maybe not quite as big as that one, cheers

[@SaltwaterAngler]

Good idea 👍

[@andrewnewby1918]

Another great video. Advice please; just gone over to a fixed spool… I’ve loaded with 40lb braid. Do you advise a stronger leader? To be used with rod that casts max 4ozs. Thanks A

[@SaltwaterAngler]

I’d use a tapered leader. It provides a bit of stretch and abrasion resistance. You could go braid straight through but your right on the danger zone for casting a swinging lead or powerful off the ground cast. Interesting subject - I bounce between braid and mono - do love the bite indication on braid though

[@andrewnewby1918]

@@SaltwaterAngler thanks for getting back to me. I leaning towards Braid straight through. I’ll only be making short casts 50 metres max in the surf for Bass. Casting weight 4ozs max, mostly 2 to 3 ozs. If I want further I’ll go to my multiple 6500. Love your videos just down to earth, and you highlight your mistakes which is nice to see. Keep ‘em coming there great 👍 cheers Andrew

[@SaltwaterAngler]

@@andrewnewby1918 As long as you don't do a snatchy cast thats a sound choice. I like the simplicity of it.

[@paultaylor5750]

Nice video as always, I've already started to lure for bass as I'm always watching your videos 😂 I am wanting to try a prawn lure on a float for bass do you think you could help me out with how to do the set up? Will it work OK on the drift?

[@SaltwaterAngler]

Yes and yes - I have a video coming on this. It relies on being on the drift too.

@@SaltwaterAngler the prawn lures I'm sure you know of the type I'm on about has a boom out but it's at the rear of prawn 🦐 I look forward to trying it I wanted to do it off the harbour rocks this morning.

Used to fish there with my grandad in the 1960’s.

What did you catch

[@ralphjohnson4041]

@@SaltwaterAngler mainly pouting and dabs during the day. Occasional sole and plaice. Codling at night. Grandads best was 14lbs! Over the top of the tide was always best then.

[@markypatt8340]

People really do cast far far away for bass on most south coast beaches a lob of 20 metres at dusk or dawn is enough fresh outs or half a mackerel 3/0 hook on a simple running ledger

[@SaltwaterAngler]

Very true

[@stevecooper9963]

If you like your Bass Matt, make a trip to Nova Scotia and fish for the striped bass 👌🏻
