Really interesting way to catch Bass. Spectacular scrapping, especially the first fish.

@@thereel7071 yes, but windy days are horrible in fly fishing. I have gone today to the beach and return home again . for me with wind around 20 km/h or more is really difficult to cast the fly

Belting bit of sport! well fished! I've tried to get footage of bass on fly for my channel but failed this year, then again I'm in Lancashire where the stocks aren't quite as dense as down south (my excuse anyway!) only just found your channel, keen to see more! subbed 👍👍👍👍👍👍 Ps I use the gurgler at night for sea trout, browns and chub

@@soultrader57fishingandmusi25 thanks man 😊 I am very fortunate that the bass fishing is very accessible to me and a very viable target on the fly. What size hook are you using on gurglers for trout and chub? I might have to give that a go! I’ve managed to get out a video a month this year, trying really hard to stay consistent with that 👍

About a size 8 medium shank. Doesn't always work but nice when it does! I've a small river a walk away from home with a good head of mostly small brownies, but there's a modest run of sea trout every summer. Gurgler is the best way to fish it at night in low water conditions as you just end up getting snagged on river bed debris with a sinking lure, unless there's a good flow, in which case there's some colour and it won't fish at night. I tried to do a couple of videos at night but I didn't really work 😂 Sub much appreciated!

The fins get messed up by landing nets. The spines catch in them and the soft part of the fin gets pushed down and damaged. Watch the fin next time you land one and you’ll see what I mean.

Looks very similar to the sea trout fishing in Denmark. Do you ever get sea trout there? We do get Bass in the western part of Denmark, but the fishing is a lot different.

@thereel7071 5 ай бұрын

We do get sea trout, but they tend to run up the rivers fairly quickly as far as I know and don’t hunt on the coast. There are places where catching one would be possible but very unlikely. I must admit, watching coastal fishing for sea trout was part of what inspired me to try the coast here, albeit for different species.

@maaj58 5 ай бұрын

@@thereel7071 Interesting. Here in Denmark we catch a lot of them. I have a bunch of videos showing what the fishing is like. The Bass on the other hand is on open north sea coast only.

@thereel7071 5 ай бұрын

@@maaj58 I know of coastal sea trout fishing in Scotland which is similar, it’s interesting as we have plenty of rivers on the UK south coast that the sea trout run up but you don’t hear of them being caught in the sea unfortunately.

@@thereel7071 Yeah. It's strange they have so different behaviours. Some of the areas you fish looks very muddy. Places like that we usually with very brackish water we catch them in winter/early spring usually from January to midt March. Around the first full moon in March we have ragworms spawning and it's like the mayfly hatch for sea trout.
