Catch Fish at Seaford: SEAFORD BAY ENDS COMPARED
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 7 ก.ย. 2024
- Part of a series on shore fishing at Seaford, East Sussex (UK). The extreme ends of Seaford Bay are compared, with tactics and their appeal considered.
An early summer, daytime session at the Beach Huts section at the eastern end, near Splash point (recorded on 15.06.19), examines my approach to catching bass.
This is contrasted with a 'scratching session' at the western end of Seaford Bay, at Newhaven East Beach (recorded on 23.07.19), on one of the hottest days of the year. Can you decide whether it is worth fishing these marks?

The successful long 2 snood rig used to catch bass in the first session, is covered in detail.

The most useful and informative videos on youtube. Thank you
So nice of you to say so chenchito mio.
Another excellent video my friend and agree about your crab presentation. Will be down there in a couple of weeks myself.
Many thanks for that Paul - best of luck.
Same knot i used for years gotta love the loop rig nice video
Thanks for that @Arfabiscuit.
Great channel. Great angler. Down to earth and very, very interesting. Keep them coming.
Your comment is much appreciated John!
Another cracking video Working my way through the rest.
Thanks again Keith.
A very good and usefull video
Nice one Paul.
Thanks fo giving out all this information. Cheers
Glad it was helpful Robert.
Very interesting videos, particularly if targeting flats. I'm hoping to fish Seaford in a couple of weeks so these vids are very useful.
Good luck - glad you found them useful @ farley1968.
You all probably dont give a damn but does anyone know a way to get back into an instagram account??
I stupidly lost the login password. I would love any help you can offer me!
@Wallace Torin instablaster ;)
@Jake Jacob thanks so much for your reply. I got to the site through google and im waiting for the hacking stuff now.
I see it takes quite some time so I will reply here later with my results.
@Jake Jacob it worked and I actually got access to my account again. Im so happy:D
Thanks so much you saved my account!
Great vid again Rod.
Thanks again Tony!
I am new to beach fishing but I have my rigs setup with stop knots for the same reason you do so I can adjust between 1 up 1 down or 2 up. Enjoyed the video I fish over Pevensey Bay at the moment and have found it a good spot to get my confidence up.
Thanks for watching Rokh &Roll.
Using stop knots also means you can change hooks, shorten hooklengths / snoods and replace those bitten off by spider crabs with ease. Crimps are still useful though for snoods that you need to remain fixed in place e.g. the lower snood of loop rigs.
I've only fished / filmed fishing at Pevensey Bay once, but will be back! You can tell me where I've gone wrong, if you watch my next upload, scheduled for Boxing Day 5:30pm!
@@rodsangleuk6283 Best place for advice on Pevensey Bay I would suggest going into Anglers Den the local tackle shop they will know whats working and the best marks, also be able to get your bait there.
Yes - I would agree with that - local tackle shops are the best source of current information about marks in their area. I fish near the end of Bay Road, which is directly seawards from Anglers Den.
Cracking vid dude , I've fished seaford before, thank you for those tips .
Really appreciate that Adrian.
I think the East pier is shut now, due to the ferry hitting it.
That's a pity - it's on my to do list!
Nice bass. Are those peelers or hardbacks? Look like peelers but there seems to be quite a bit more shell on them than I think most anglers would leave. Also having the legs near the hook point is not conventional I would say, which is interesting as it seems to work for you. I also miss quite a few bites on crab but assume that it is small bass grabbing the bait. When the fish are a better size I don't miss that many. Not sure what you have found? Thanks for the video, I really must do splash point more often.
@Judge Pop - thanks for watching and commenting.
Yes - they are peelers. For bass and smooth hounds I no
longer take the shell off completely, as I don't think that's how the fish would find them naturally. I know they wouldn't find them naturally with hooks in them either, but we have to catch them somehow! Just my preferred method now; and like a lot of my unconventional approaches, it works for me. Best of luck, when you next fish Splash Point.
@@rodsangleuk6283 Thanks for the reply. I think the whole thing with crab bait is fascinating and you read a lot of different opinions. And as you say, the target species is probably important too. I also like to keep things as natural as possible and even avoid using elastic when I can.
nice video are you using hard crab mate ?
Thanks Saifoun - no these are peelers, but a lot of the time I only take their shells off and leave he legs on.
Are you sure these are flounders? They look like Dabs to me. I thought flounders were only found in river estuaries.
Flounders for sure. Thanks for watching Kenneth.
the knot you didn't know the name of is a "Grinner Knot"
😁👍
How do you disassemble the rod after fishing? Do you remove the hooks and the sinker first?
Hi @E R - except for pulley rigs, I have clips at the top of my rigs, which attach to a swivel at the end of the leader line I'm using - so just unclip and store the rigs in a rig wallet / winder / bag. The sinker unclips too, but sometimes I keep it attached to the rig and the whole lot goes in the case where i store my reel. I'll have to show this in a future video. I attach pulley rigs directly to the leader line, so just snip the rig off just above the swivel. I hope this helps and thanks for watching.
@@rodsangleuk6283 Thank you a lot for your explanation! I am a novice at fishing. I love Seaford.
What tide do you recommend fishing at for bass high or low?
Good question - I know many prefer low water, but where I fished for the first part of this video I tend to catch them at the top of the tide or just as it ebbs.
@@rodsangleuk6283 thank you for the message
Where are you getting your peelers from?
For the session in this video, I think they came from Tackle and Tools, if I've got the name of the shop in Newhaven right!
@@rodsangleuk6283 close , its tools and tackle
One thing I found as to why you didn’t hook the first fish is your setting the hook far too hard, good vid tho👍
Possibly; thanks for the tip and for watching.
All that sea, all that beach and they got to swim in front of you.......
Yes - it happens @Taz6688! Thanks for watching.
