Cracking info Henry. Thanks. Used info here to catch my very 1st Bass of 4lb 3oz from Holywell Bay whilst camping. Was one of the best fishing experiences I've ever had.
Great fishing, the bass fishing in Ireland has come on in heaps and bounds over the last few years. I fish in Clare and catching them right up to Christmas off my mark's on lures. Anyone can catch them on lugworm in the surf using regular beach casting techniques, pully rigs and a 5oz grip lead. But the lures are more fun.

@@henrygilbey302 yeah there's a lot of sandy coves and from poulnasherry in the Shannon estuary right up as far as Fanore. Yeah the surf seeker saved me from wading in the surf with a beach caster and bucket of lug and packet of sandeel. They go out a long way, and that flutter drives the bass nuts. There's a guy I know who has great sport when the surf is raging with lures. I'm 15 minutes from the coast. I remember you from year's ago fishing off the diving boards with sandeels in kilkee lol

Used to bait fish for bass in and around Poole Harbour from the shore and in boats with live sand eel. I moved to Hastings a few years ago and have just bought a lure/spinning Rod and reel. Really looking forward to trying it out when the water warms up a bit. Not long now! Exciting. Great vid…
This week I went back at them in my local estuary. Small and anonymous, it’s no more than 3 inches deep for 100m into the sea on a sandy beach. I normally target the Sea Trout , Monday I had 1 Sea Trout 1.5lb to the net , a 2.5lb lost . I went an hour after low from 12.30 to Friday. 11 Bass , 4 Sea Trout, 2 Mackerel, 12 Garfish. Only in South West Ireland, no better place for Sea Lure fishing 🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪

EXCELLENT
I've never fished before, and im now looking for reels, rods, and lures. Because if you can have a fraction of the fun Henry does, I've cracked it! Where do i start?
Well done Henry. Great videos.i realy dont know why there is even a minority of people that have a go at you. Perhaps they simply suffer from jelousy for some reason. Especially on a drunken rainy saterday night.🤣 Allways Verry informative ,and thanks to you a lot of verry good bass are now not only caught but also released, due to your passion and sharing. All the best and total respect Mat.
Love the Saffa accent! 😁

Do you have to wash your reel after every sea fishing session? Nick Richardson.

Hello Mr, Gilbey, whats the optimal castweight for this rod and for the 9 - 46 gramm ?
lures are made to catch the angler
Good man for keeping it real Henry (snaggy clip) although there was some audio missing? 🤣 Great informative video, thank you. I have a fair few SG lures and a great 9ft6 SGS5 I got for Xmas last year. Love the way you explain the action and properties of each lure and where they're best suited. I'm still learning but got a few nice bass on my recent trip to Pembrokeshire. Might have to watch this a few times. Feel bad for you that your cameraman got the bigger bass... (ok, not really.. 🤣😂) Please make more videos like this!!

Is this for real? I thought it was a wind up, the spinal tap of bass fishing. 19.40 "Its easy to walk away without working hard for the bottom" 😆😆😆 Using metals in shallow weedy water when the baitfish are clearly on the surface.... great way to lose lures. Very funny video, but maybe not intentionally so!

@barlow2976
Жыл бұрын
In my experience the cheaper lumps of metal are too dense, and don't sink as slowly as Seekers (or Westin Salty). Poundland Toby copies etc don't cast as well, or fish on the pause as well. I bulk buy Seekers at the season start, and they work out under a fiver. You'll find you don't lose as many as your 'cheap' lumps of metal.
