Awesome video man!! I just recorded a bass fishing video for my channel and it’s cool to see how other people are doing!! I love watching your videos, keep up the good work!! 🎣🤝🎣
and poeple say when you see seadogs dont bother trying
Great video. You weren't joking when you said you were surrounded by seals. 😂😂😂
I always like watching your YT vids, Matt. Another BIG 👍🏻s up
Well in Matt. Be interested to see if they take any fish off the line this year, had them grab a live bait the other day inside 😅 that gave a nice bite 👀
Yep they haven't learnt this trick yet fortunately- Blimey yea i've had them take mackerel of the line in Wales.
I remember a few years ago on the south coast seeing a seal was a real treat and when not fishing still is , but they seem to be around in numbers nowadays which makes me believe our waters are not a low in fish stocks as we thought. And I've had days when they completely ruin the sport and fishing is terrible, however it's nice to see they didn't have that impact on your day another great video
Some good balanced comments there thanks. Yea they could be here in numbers because there are so few fish in their feeding grounds further out ?
Lovely video. Captures the summer lure session perfectly.
Many thanks! That was my aim , thanks for your support as always Ian
What a fantastic session mate shows shallow flowing tide brings them in lovely video 👍👍🎣
Yes good spot, we prefer the bigger tides here in sussex
I could not believe what i was watching. To me it looked like a huge number of seals were showing of on your mark. Was thinking i must be wrong, i mean it cannot be that you catch so much bass between the seals. So i was more than surprised to hear you say that they were in fact seals. Unbellievable that the fish were still there. Enjoyed your video a lot, thanks for the upload. Greetz from Stipo from Holland
Thanks mate - Yes for some reason it looked so bassy i knew id catch and show the seals how to do it !
Thanks mate nothing worse then going in a tackle shop n being overwhelmed i act like its heaven but i aint got a scoobie until i watched this belter
Nice keep it simple. A good tackle shop is a real help.
No metals ?
Only if you watch all the video !
Great video as usual. Goes to prove what I’ve always thought and experienced through my nearly 65 years of fishing is that bass are relatively easy to catch once you have located them, the trouble usually is “how do yo locate them?” I remember a session in West Pembroke many years ago fishing at midday from a rock mark in gin clear water and it was almost a fish a cast on a Rapala J13 for about 20 minutes and then they were gone. Fished the same mark in identical conditions with the same lure for the next couple of days and not a sniff! Interesting to see so many seals in your video and it begs the question were they trying to trap the bass against the shore in order to predate them or were they attracted to the area in the first place by the feeding bass. Have you ever had similar success on that mark or do you think that it was a one-off where a number of factors all aligned perfectly to give you a great session of fishing?
It’s a one off but I knew a mark further down that produces on the ebb so I followed them down tide. The skill in bass angling is finding them when they are finicky and not feeding! That’s when these full time guides earn there salt - thanks David you make some good thoughtful input just what we Saltwater anglers welcome here
A really great day's fishing, thanks for sharing it with us. I did most of my bass fishing in the late 1950s and our approach was completely different back then. Our ideal sized fish was one between 10 and 12 inches (25 -30cm), i.e., pan size, anything larger were returned, a 42cm one definitely would have been put back. The largest bass I ever saw was 8lb, it featured on the front page of the local newspaper. By the way I did all of my fishing off of the Sussex coast near where we lived.
Interesting to know that thanks Tony
Seals have learned that fish caught and put back are easier to catch, brilliant video as always.
Ha clever little sea pigs
Fantastic session....👏👏👏 ...sussex somewhere?😉
The only way you will blank is ! Is, you forget to attach a lure to the end of your line 🤔 lol 😆 😂 or go to your favourite spot and find you haven't put your gear in the car.
No one would ever do that !
@SaltwaterAngler Don't you believe it !!! Between you, me, and the four walls, and yes your sworn to secrecy !!! I went out one a few years ago now, in the car of we go, get there, Rods Box Bait, down to the beach open box ?? Not a bloody reel in site ##××*****%%^***&& Cleaned, oiled, and yes not in the frigging box, still in the shed. Your the one I've ever told.
Amazing video Matt, what a sight to see them seals surrounding the Bass and pinning them close. What a memorable session in lovely conditions, great angling.
Yes indeed thanks for that
@@SaltwaterAngler I meant to comment this on your recent video but somehow it ended up on a 2 year old one! It's a terrific video I watched it again earlier.
Awesome again Matt a good days fishing in all my days fishing Hastings and Stleonards or other East Sussex beaches never saw a seal weather report cold with a fair bit of rain. Happy catching from Australia Nick
Hello mate - glad we have the sun and its warmer here! Seals are taking over
Love your videos! my dad's moving south and I was hoping to catch him some dinner, my current rod is a 2-8g ultra light I'm guessing I'll need something a little stronger to land a seabass?
`Not necessarily ! in certain situations you could land a bass on that. but 30g rods a go-to weighting
Anither great video Matt, still yet to get my first on a lure but its coming! Can I ask what leader you use, lenght, BS and knot?
Covered many times in the channel flourocarbon 18lb FG knot 7-9ft depending on water clarity. As for brands check out the website in description
Why is it I keep reading go early hours before light starts picking up when you're in bright sunshine Matt? Talk about confusing😢
I’ll tell you exactly why- more than one thing can be true. Big tides in Sussex are at 13:00hrs - 14:00hrs also a good time . Because we don’t have gin clear water sun overhead won’t put fish off. Early mornings more applicable when daylight hours are less - October for example each mark fishes better at certain parts of the tide.
@@SaltwaterAngler thanks for that Matt clears it up some what . Will be off to St Mary's bay either tomorrow or Thurs.....early hours 😉 to try get back in the swing, hopefully the ole back holds up 😀
Good luck mate, as i say let me know how it goes.
Great little video with some nice Bass. Little Q about the rod: Those Skyline rods are only about 7’ 6” so does the shortness limit casting range ? It seems a bit short for sea fishing. I normally go for a 9’ to 10’ rod and wonder if I am misunderstanding something ?
It’s often debated but I love this shorter length now. Advantages include underarm or back casts flicking out lures so when you have cliffs behind you. You can cast all day vey light weight. Remember this is for my area if you asked a Cornish estuary angling they would say 9ft - no need to cast far here though . Quality important too
@@SaltwaterAngler Good point about the back cast and lightness. Horses for courses. Thank you for taking the time to respond.
Did you lose any Fish to the Seals ?
No ! They haven’t developed that skill yet
Just subbed Sweet vid man just started my own channel and love it keep up the good work
Welcome to saltwater angler and welcome to KZread creating !
Great to see a good session Matt. I've used the 12gr Tobis Ammo, always works when things are slow and encourages strikes.
Thanks for watching.
Great video, Loved the seal bit! Thanks - L C
Yea quite strange that bit !
Always enjoy watching your videos Matt, always interesting and full of enthusiasm and a smattering of excitement 😀. Do you enjoy every minute ??? Of course you do. Keep them coming. Les.
I’m set up for a blank next session ! But yes very enjoyable
No Matt, 😊 you don't do blanks, 😅😅
Nice video mate lovely to see lots of bass would you recommend around 5 miles from Eastbourne pier cause I wanna lure fish but I don’t want to go so far lol
Just go off the beach . Bigger tides best
Take your .243 next time 😂
🙄 nooo I’m trying to get over my seal hatred !
Great vid and not that you need to but great notes,great channel and great info as always quick question tho I know legal size is 42 cm but what size do you think is the cutoff for taking ? If this makes sense ?cheers rich 👍🏻🎣
Hi Rich yes it does make sense one fat 55 maybe as long as there’s a few around
Great thanks , out tomorrow morning probably a blank but nice to get out 👍🏻
Amazing video and channel Matt, session of dreams, well my dreams, you caught more in this one than I have all year lol
Thanks mate, these days do happen . My next session after this was two tiny bass smaller than the lure !
0.56 seconds did I see a seals head pop up.
Err not just 0.56 ! Did you watch the whole video?
Fabulous day for you Matt, plenty of your precious bass. Great video in beautiful surroundings. Thanks for sharing 👏👏👏
Pleased to share
What a day . Thanks for a great video Matt.
Thanks mate, come with me next time !
Lovely fishing! Congratz! Cheers By RecordaçõesdePesca channel! 🎣🐟👍💯
Fantastic session!Seals keeping the bass from leaving the area, that’s some team work right there. Brilliant edit as well! 🔥👏👏👏
Thanks mate
Those seals 😊
Awesome video. The fishing was amazing for me to watch, and the sound of the waves sent my young daughter to sleep.
Ha ! Better than the telly tubbys
The seals are there for a reason. Beautiful day, great film.
Nice one mate, looks like you had a good time. 👍😎
Great day yes and thanks for your support
Cracking days fishing Matt - the days we all dream about bit rarely have. Top angling buddy.
I know right and between me and you I had 8 more fish I didn’t film !
Can’t beat it, what more can life offer
Great watch that mr saltwater .. certainly gets my seal of approval 🙄 looks like a sandy Andy will go on my shopping list for a forthcoming trial ….. just wont mention it to the wife … she will think I’m on my second midlife crisis 😮
Great commenting as usual Sir!
How many cameras you broken now🤷🏻♂️😆
Nice fishing,quality content as per usual 😉
Thanks 🙏
Great video makes it look easy but I've fished that spot many times but not as successfully as that, cheers
Needs the right conditions I think.
Still getting the Macs with that mixed water?Nice
Yea I was on Eastbourne pier this week and saw a kid pull out a mackerel in really unclear water on feathers
Great session, lots of decent sized bass there too.
Hi Luke , yes a good day- have been down your way recently too
