Thanks for watching

[@daviddevine1757]

Great to see ye getting a few fish smiles through out the vid 😀

[@SaltwaterAngler]

Thanks mate 😊

[@Angrypostman1977]

I've always kept a litter picker in the car with a few black bags and after every daytime sessions done i do a 30 min walk around and pick up whatever I see or if I do an evening session I do a bit while I'm fishing it's to do my bit to keep the beach clean but it's also a little bit of exercise too Litter pickers are from the poundshop and the black bags everyone has at home anyway so it's no hardship really Fantastic video mate cheers

[@SaltwaterAngler]

Great input thank you

Really nice video thank you

[@SaltwaterAngler]

Glad you liked it!

[@georgewakelin4350]

Great to see a bass again off a sussex beach. Thank you for sharing. Ive heard that they have still been getting a few over here in Worthing off the pier throughout the last couple of months. Im going to dust off the gear and have a crack from the beach. Good to see a great result like that this time of year.

[@SaltwaterAngler]

Yea go get them - piers and breakwaters a good option in February

[@Brian-mb9ez]

A good honest video of a days beach fishing in February, roll on the summer thanks for sharing

[@SaltwaterAngler]

Appreciate the watch 💪 yep Think we are almost there now

[@konstantinosferko]

Happy days Matt. Well done buddy Great session and video 🔝💪✅👏🌊🐟🎣

[@SaltwaterAngler]

Thanks 👍

[@allseasonseafishing]

We find that mind in February onwards for a couple month your just scratching that’s why we head to west coast for the doggies and rays great video new subscriber hear

[@SaltwaterAngler]

Welcome

[@legotechnictrains8999]

Ever tried to attract more fish by dumping some feed with a feeder cage? I'm thinking of asking the local fish shop for the stuff he will throw away and put that into a large speedfeeder. Probably need to cast 30x haha Remember Rex Hunt preparing the beach by throwing in some burley?

[@SaltwaterAngler]

Yes 👍 show it on a couple of videos. Yes I do remember and often hurry in a beach on a flooding tide. Have used the swim feeder to good effect for bream using old rag and mackerel guts!

[@allenbrown8158]

A nice mixed bag for February, we still get a cod run in the lower Bristol channel , from Penarth down to Swansea, not prolific , but they are about, I like your content Matt because you fish well and you don't take a load of unnecessary crap with you, I'm looking forward to the summer to target the Teignmouth bass, I'm also going back to fly fishing for trout. I missed all last year as i recovered from throat cancer, but I'm well again now, thank god and the NHS. keep the videos coming Matt always a good watch.

[@SaltwaterAngler]

Hi Allen , appreciate your thoughts here. Sounds like you deserve a Teignmouth Bass after last year.There’s stuff I could probably use but I cut my teeth on rock hopping in North wales so am kind of accustomed to travelling light. All the best

[@spartafishinguk]

Good fishing Matt, Well done mate

[@SaltwaterAngler]

Thanks 👍

[@derekmay8679]

Is that worthing ??? Great to see so many species off there ... great video 👍👍 My bad sorry...ive read hastings now....it looks like a spot on worthing beach too lol..

[@SaltwaterAngler]

Yep similar maybe ! I will fish’s Worthing though this year

[@ironix1]

Nice one and the conditions didn't look too bad either. Have the dabs really become that small? I guess the days of the nice bags of big dabs are well and truly over! 😬

[@SaltwaterAngler]

No, some good size dabs still possible

[@leehotspur9679]

Thanks for sharing Really enjoyable Vid Keep them coming Regards from NZ

[@SaltwaterAngler]

Thanks, will do!

[@ivanstreet1201]

Lovely video Matt, well done, that was a very productive day for late February, I'm going to try my luck this Sunday on the East Devon coast, caught a 4lb bass there last year at the end of Feb. As others have already said, I'm looking forward to watching you doing some lure fishing a bit later in the year, and as for people swimming right where anglers are already set up - it beggars belief! Keep the vids coming Matt, all the best.

[@SaltwaterAngler]

Have fun! Thanks mate

[@JW-wp1qt]

The sight of a bass! Not too long before the lures come back out.

[@SaltwaterAngler]

Yes indeed thats what i was thinking

[@paulbennett5370]

Great Video

[@SaltwaterAngler]

Thanks Paul

[@nige99]

That was classic when you kissed that Bass !

[@SaltwaterAngler]

😂 yea it’s not very me that but I couldn’t help myself when it wasn’t a whiting

[@nicholascavie2464]

Awesome again Matt awesome looking day a few fish & 1 for dinner what more could u ask for. Happy catching from AUSTRALIA Nick

[@SaltwaterAngler]

Glad you enjoyed it Nick

[@davetevens5080]

Nice to see the bass all you need now is it’s grandad lol 😂. Well done 😊

[@SaltwaterAngler]

You got that right!

[@pault5947]

What a great session! Thats a years species list for me 🤣 Great video, thanks.

[@SaltwaterAngler]

Ha well I think I benefited from some bigger tides - 7 in a session is my record , have just checked back and that was from black rock in Ireland- it was interesting not to keep catching the same species though

[@stephenking78]

Another enjoyable video from you Matt and greatly appreciated. Quite a mixed bag for this time of year, so pleased you got your decent bass( hope you brushed your teeth before kissing the missus lol. )Roll on the better weather & some decent sessions for us all. Cheers👍

[@SaltwaterAngler]

Yes many thanks, I was going to edit out the daft kiss -

[@markhodgkinson8431]

Nice little session there, it's always strange how people can interrupt your fishing when they have the rest of the beach to use

[@SaltwaterAngler]

Yea that’s true - I plan to fish more remote locations this year

[@kerryfoster1]

Yes there are a lot of swimmers on my local beach, however I've not had them swim in front of me. They always (so far ) turn and swim back again! One of the reasons I long for remote and empty beaches.......

[@trampster7306]

I took my Grandson to a fairly long beach last summer to give him his 1st casting lesson, and there was a girl in her early teens on a paddleboard going too and fro right in front of us for ages. I became convinced if we moved, she would follow. Had to give up & go home after a couple of hours. 🙄🙄

[@SaltwaterAngler]

Yes Kerry , sensible coastal users always welcome - no problems there

[@theoriginalwelderpaul]

Great video thank you. Do you recommend a good disgorger?

[@SaltwaterAngler]

Yes I do! Watch the Plaice Video with John Locker from the @fishlocker i find his version better than any shop bought one. He also shows us how to make one ,coat hanger style on his @fishlockerworkshop Specifically for flat fish. This Pliers for some fish. Normal pliers for Huss. For Bass though Really easy to unhook because of their big mouths i find it quicker thput my thumb in the gape of the hook push in towards the fish and lift out.

[@ManicFishing]

Good vid matt great sound😎

[@johnfryer3149]

Hi Matt. Nice day on the beach again. Can you tell me the rods you are using please. Cheers John 😆😃👍👍

[@SaltwaterAngler]

Hi John yes these are The colmic lunar and trubacco serenity 4.5m continental rods I think they are both brilliant 🤩 I think you can get them on eBay - crab that colmic if you see it sub 150 . Both good bang for your buck

[@johnfryer3149]

[@valentinsafta6201]

Bravo

[@stellarangler]

Once again matt excelled video love that we got to help pick out your thumbnail soon bass on lures if the water temperatures rise looking forward to it 😁👍

[@SaltwaterAngler]

Yes , your help was much appreciated, I’ll be back on the lures but first it’s the peeler crab those bass will want in March

[@ianturner3033]

A good assortment Matt🎣🎣🎣! And some cracking shots of the sunlight on the sea.❤️ Shame about the missed bites🥺. Even worse about the swimmers. Are they blind or stupid?🤔 We have a problem with surfers, but we can't move cos we're on a pier.🫣 All in all, a nice session for the time of year.👏 Thanks for sharing.👍 Take care and stay safe.😷🙊

[@SaltwaterAngler]

Yea thanks Ian , there are allocated areas for swimming but they cross over because they don’t know what tides and springs and neaps are ! Surfers at least know about the water

[@owencallanan1916]

Hi Mat, Can you please tell me what rod and reel your using regards Owen

[@tonycamplin8607]

Shame about those missed fish. Swimmers are annoying but I suppose that they've got as much right to be there as you. Why didn't you eat that bass, it looked a perfect size for the pan. By the way rocklin are delicious. Nice to share the session with you.

[@SaltwaterAngler]

Yep regarding the swimmers I think it’s who was there first really , No anglers going to cast in to the swim meet I guess- regarding bass This was caught in feb and from March 2 can be retained so out of season. 42cm is the minimum size but most bass anglers I fish with now see 44/46 as a minimum if taken at all

[@trampster7306]

Great session Matt! Nice mix of Fish and a Mr Basstastic! Bit jealous of you muching on that delicious Dab! Bit of a Chest infection that Wifey kindly donated to me - every cloud has a Silver lining! Coughing like hell if I lie down so at least I can sit up in the wee hours and watch KZbin in peace! Looking for a spare spool for my Surfblaster II, might give Braid another go. 50Lb straight thru is the plan, got a couple of boat reels to load too so looking for ideas. 8 strand? Tight lines, and Stay safe & well - Dave. 🎣🎣👍👍

[@SaltwaterAngler]

Getting well for spring then Dave ! Maybe veals have spare spools for the surf blaster as they are hard to find - dab tastes great 👍 8 strand is fine from the beach I’ve been slowly putting suggestions and links on the saltwater angler website

[@brianpask8955]

Really enjoyed the video Matt. I see the swimmers out in force as per usual for that mark - no common sense!

[@SaltwaterAngler]

Yep they don’t understand the dynamic environment the like of us know so well. I’m happy to share but not when people are idiots.

[@SandrasSpicySpanishSalami]

You have a far kinder attitude to nuisance swimmers than me. I take the position that if they can't possibly see me, I can't see them. Even though the bait and rig are nailed to the seabed, they freak out touching a section of 60lb braid with their leg.

[@SaltwaterAngler]

That’s a good position , yes since covid more and more people are swimming but they don’t have the coastal knowledge about tides, especially spring tides and how it effects things. They also don’t see other beach users or realise how far or short an angler casts. They are not true “watermen”

[@Esoxlucius155]

… and they’re swallowing mouthfuls of poo …..😂😂

[@SandrasSpicySpanishSalami]

@@Esoxlucius155 🤣 been tempted to take a bucket of shark chum and a chucking scoop.

[@johnkay7354]

no doubt those swimmers moan about the nuisance anglers, that at times take up hundreds of yards of beach

[@SandrasSpicySpanishSalami]

@@johnkay7354 The self entitlement of any beach user to expect any other beach user already engaged in their activity to immediately cease as they "are more important" is hilarious. I highly doubt any fisher but a half drunken tinsel tosser in shorts, vest and incredible red complexion would make use of a mark currently in use by swimmers, the same isn't true in the inverse.

[@sutoto]

Please excuse my lack of knowledge I'm new to lure fishing for bass, but can you not lure fish for bass if your catching them now on that setup?

[@SaltwaterAngler]

You ask a good question. Bass need water temperature to increase before they focus in on live bait replicated by lures. So they are lethargic, small and don’t have the energy after recent spawning. Yes indeed you could try but the rewards are slight. Less fish being inactive. The bass in this video would of been seeking out easier meals like a stationary lugworm. So yes you are right but this channel will get a lot more lure focused in two months as the water temps rise and the bass start chasing bait fish enmass

[@sutoto]

@@SaltwaterAngler Thanks for the detailed response and that would explain for current setup 👍🏻 looking forward to you 2023 bass lure videos! Have all my gear on order from your recommendations so I'm just waiting on the weather too haha thanks again for the top videos👏👏

[@leoncox2405]

Well in bud

[@BannedByMe]

Do you eat the fish that you keep, or you feed them to the cat as my wife's dad does 😁?

[@SaltwaterAngler]

Too good for cats !

[@BannedByMe]

​@@SaltwaterAngler you should make some how to cook videos!

[@SaltwaterAngler]

👍

[@SolentAngler]

A good session for February there Matt and good to see that bass. We'd struggle to match that in daylight around here at the moment. Does your little dog accompany you on many sessions ?

[@SaltwaterAngler]

Yep I’d call that a good session for here and me ! Nelly the dog comes to most of the beach sessions , but I’m not sure she will keep up when it’s lure fishing time !

[@SolentAngler]

That's great. I 'm picking up a new Jack Russell puppy tomorrow and hope he'll be my future beach buddy !

[@vidvidbiker]

Nice video - bit of click bate title which you don't need to do as your "work" stands on its own two feet without such shenanigans! Be nice to go barbless permanently "The Ginger Barbless Fishermen" would get a lot of respect re skill. Just a thought. Thanks for your videos.

[@SaltwaterAngler]

Thanks for the feedback - I fished a misty morning and caught some silver more a personal not a click bait title! Now had I said “OMG CANT Believe I caught these 5 species here” that would be click bait. I feel the video delivered on its title. No shenanigans intended but always interested in what you have to say. Ref barbless I need all the help I can get and have lost too many fish to barbless hooks. A longer subject I think I’ll talk about when we get back on the lures this summer. Appreciate your thoughts

[@vidvidbiker]

@@SaltwaterAngler oh dear I posted this on the wrong video - it was ment for the pike fishing guy. Apologies for click bait accusations!!!! I must have been very tired! The KS for taking it in good humour! I enjoy your videos as well!!!!

[@Scottwillow1]

That’s the problem with where your fishing “those bloody arrogant swimmers”. They can clearly see your fishing but they still think it’s their right to swim near your line, angers me so much 😡😡😡😡

[@SaltwaterAngler]

Not sure what the answer is- I’ve tried mediation 🧘‍♂️

[@happyguy5414]

I disagree with you, as it’s up to the angler to wind in and wait until they have passed. It only takes a few seconds and it helps for good relations between anglers and other beach users. After all if you want to swim a length of the beach near to where you live and there’s a number of anglers there it would not be possible without each other’s cooperation.

[@skateboardingjesus4006]

I nice average day of early spring fishing? Not bad. Great to see a bass in there too. Every year seems to bring more cold weather swimmers. There's about 6 clubs near here and the median age is about 70. They're either mad, or their tolerance to cold is phenomenal.

[@SaltwaterAngler]

Hello mate, yes firstly thanks for calling spring ! It’s march much more optimistic- your right about those swimmers- more popular after lockdown but they don’t understand the ways of the sea- or even what a tide is

[@dave1secondago]
