BassLureFish Evidence Finder.

Hi, before I comment about the vid I want to say that there are far better anglers than me watching this and commenting. I'd describe myself as an occasional / economy angler who uses a 60 quid Shimano rod and a 100 quid Ultegra reel - so definitely no expert! But this was a great vid which really got me thinking. First thing I'll agree with you is it's lifelong learning. Even when I blank I'm taking away some sort of positive. It took me about 20 years of on / off fishing before I caught my first bass. Couple of years ago I had about 40 over the summer - mostly schoolies with one or two keepers. I'd say the most important thing I've taken from bass fishing is location. Based in Torbay I could stand every high tide at Roundham or Goodrington prom with a lure rod and not catch a bass (cue for loads who say they have!) But move to a different area and its game on. They just seem to favour some areas more than others - yours is clearly a good bass mark. Interesting your take on the rod but I'm more than happy with my 8ft Shimano cheapy - it's the max size for my kayak set up. For me, my reel / line and line management would be 2nd on my list. I don't know how so many people get on with braid without wind knots. I've tried different types and have gone back to mono. Teklon gold seems to be best for its anti memory properties, but may try nanofil or Berkely x9 in future. Interesting your part on shade - I may come back to you on it as never much considered it much before. I stood at my favourite mark yesterday in still, glassy conditiopns with the polarised glasses on. The water clarity was excellent - and saw no fish at all anywhere, so maybe something in that. Lure wise - I usually use white 11.5cm white red gills but will try a cotton candy variety if I can get one. Thanks for a great vid.

Fishing in The Netherlands for bass. Coastline is very different here but in general your insights are vey usefull here as well! This year i had my first succes at night, every other cast I caught bass during ebbing tide arround 02:00h. Definetly worth the try! Btw tried the shimano exsence silent assassin flash boost coton candy sinking here. Not much succes (1 small bass) my lucky lure here is a white black minnow size #1 (70mm) and #2 (90mm). Thanks for your great video's, hopefully the season still lasts a while... Tight lines and greatings from NL ;)

Hi mate i commented on another video before if you remember me last year. I only just seen this video for beginners and was glad i found it. Id like to tell you a little about my situation now. Ive only just started lure fishing for bass been around 7 or 8 times but havnt caught a bass yet. It feels like until you have caught your first bass your confidence is as poor as ever and your thought patterns are negative because you havnt caught a bass yet. But im determined as ever to get my first one and i have the drive passion even though i havnt caught a bass yet. I got some surf seeker lures 2 white pearl ones as i heard this is the top colour for that lure. Also a black pearl one and the blue seeker. Im just fishing off the beach at the moment. Are the surf seekers all i need for the beach as far as lures go? Problem is i dont have transport and im limited to a few locations. Id also like to ask did you find it difficult to catch your first ever bass and did it take a while until you did? Id love to hear your story. I just subscribed because i forgot last year. A big fan of yours! Hope to hear from you again. Thanks mate.

Hi everyone, one thing I forgot to mention was to check out 'The Lure Fishing Podcast' hosted by Cormac Walsh. So far there are 4 episodes which are available on Spotify (absolutely free) from some great anglers including, Michael Kelly (the creator of Evobass lures) Henry Gilbey, Marcin Kantor and myself.

Funny after fishing the British pike championships also the first to pike fly fish in the U.K and qualify with this method have contributed to pike and predator magazine done every lure colour and shape and more..but then moving to Plymouth 20yrs ago and chasing bass instead of pike, I now only use 5 yes FIVE white lures, one surface one sub surface, one say 1 metre runner(still floating) one sinking lure and then a fast sinking soft lure, that’s all I take!! All I focus on is depth and retrieve speed depending on the metabolic state of the bass

White or chartreuse catch bass all other colours catch anglers.
