Slippy Limpets your enthusiasm is in inspiration. Will be 70 this year and you remind me how I felt all night fishing up to 10 years ago. Thanks mainly to you will be going out again soon.
I've fished that first mark a few times caught my first bass there it's a good throw mid summer there's s few other marks not far from there that are good
That is a good idea for a video, thanks for the suggestion! I tend to pack light- my bag is a 26 litre Sea to Summit Rapid containing 2 lure boxes, some fluorocarbon, a selection of soft plastics with a packet of hooks, an extra clothing layer, a hydration bladder, a sandwich, vhf radio, spare batteries and a tripod for the camera. I made a rod holder using a tied off bit of 4mm bungie and a cord lock from an old coat. Means I can keep my hands free for the approach 👍 🎣
Awesome mate. Set myself a personal mission to get my first Bass this year. Think its time to head straight for wales rather than keeping pissing about on the east coast having no joy!
Great video buddy and once again all the details I needed were in the description. Randomly need some new waders and looking for suggestions, thought I’d ask, but didn’t need to, you’d already kindly provided. Loved the calm conditions to watch the takes, keep it up. Quick question, would you ever do a live stream Q&A in the future perhaps? Even if I knew where the locations were, I couldn’t get there, for various reasons, so have to make do with sometimes not ideal locations and conditions, but would like to pick up tips on how to improve my chances at least while I was there. If it’s something you ever think about doing then let us know. Tight lines 👍🏻
Thanks for your comment and I can't recommend those waders enough. Used to use jackets made out of the same material, from the same brand, for ice climbing so knew that although expensive I'd be comfortable all day in them. I'm looking into doing live streams but just need to sort the logistics out. Will send notice once I get it sorted. Thanks for your comment, much appreciated 👍
Great vid, thanks. I didn’t realise that you could catch Bass so close in! The music at the start was quite spooky, I thought I might see zombies climbing over the rocks towards you as you played the fish!
I think it depends on the mark but they do seem to be closer than people might expect. Ha, thankfully no zombies but it did feel a bit spooky during the approach. Glad you like the vid and thanks for your comment.
Hi Nathan, A great vid. The mighty Bass, the most majestic of sea fish. When you go to a new beach, and I'm refering more to the second half of the video, do you look for an area that deepens quite quickly? Or, can you lure fish succesfully across a shallow beach.Also does the clarity of the water make a big difference? I relocated to East Yorkshire a few years ago. Its nearly all beach casting where I live, but, as I'm unable to cast any distance, it's really a non starter. Even if I could I'd sooner fish the lure as you do. But as I was saying about clarity, the red clay cliffs give the water a muddy look, especially on the ebb tide. Would this make lure fishing a no no. My grandson asked if I'd show him how to fish. As he'd asked me over his dad, how could I refuse :) I picked up some Mackeral feathers from the local tackle shop along with instructions on how best to fish from the shore. Even at 58 I'm not too proud to ask for advice. So armed with my 12ft Greys rod, the feathers, and the sort of weight I'd have propped the door open with, I endevoured to teach him to cast!!!! Getting him to release the line as he cast was a major problem. It resulted in the lead swinging back and forth like a pendulum. He looked like some medieval knight just getting some practice swings with a mace. On my part, I was wincing each time the lead narrowly missed the blank of my much favoured rod. Luckily he soon got bored. This year I've picked up a second hand Shakespeare curtesy of ebay.He can practice with that to his hearts content.I thought a single lure as the way forward, and we shall see if he's been touched by Isaac. I imagine you're one of those people whom I've met now and again, give them an old garden cane, a length of string, and a bent pin and they'll still catch! :) I learnt long ago that you just can't replicate how someone else fishes (rod, reel, line lure) it does'nt work like that. But your videos show a way, an instructive way, that at least puts a body on the right track to success. And more power to you. Stephen
Hi Stephen, thanks again for a great post! I think I’m starting to enjoy your posts more than my videos :-) When I first go to a new place, I tend to try to look for the fish by covering as much of the water around as possible by moving a lot and casting a long casting lure. It seems that bass aren't necessarily always in the deeper water but they definitely like structure- things like boulders, reef or a weed lined edge- like the 2nd mark in this video. This beach is pretty flat so the edges of the beach, apart from a boulder in the middle, are the likely location of fish. The water clarity can make a difference but you can look at it in 2 ways: 1. they will never see your lures and fish won't feed while the water is dirty, or, 2. Predators can feel comfortable/safer because they are concealed by the dirty water, then they can use smell or vibration to attack their prey (our lure). I prefer the 2nd option because it's more positive and it can be proved by cod fishing, we both know that Cod prefer dirty water before they come too close to shore. As for Yorkshire, although I’ve not fished it much, apparently there is meant to be a good head of bass and plenty of people catch them. Carefully fishing the flood might be a good idea if you'd prefer the water to be clearer or maybe on the ebb during smaller tides. With regards to stick and line angler you mentioned; I've met that type of natural angler too so I can't be one of them. Kind of you to say so though :-) Tight Lines!
@@robertgallacher7214 not sure if this is a snipe at me for posting this video? I'd happily take it down if people don't like it...I put alot of effort into finding these places and I would hate to be responsible for blatantly pointing out marks that I fish. However, I've not mentioned any area of the UK let alone a town. People who know the marks will obviously recognise them, like you do, but they already know what to expect there. I really appreciate your comment but I'd suggest maybe editing your post?
I'm going to pull this post down. It's nothing personal. I've asked you to edit it twice now and, I'm not sure if you know it, but you've posted the area that this was filmed at.
Here's me thinking this was recent and planning a weekend trip to the same place! Hopefully get down there for some big tides in the summer and repeat your effort.
@@SlippyLimpets It's the cabin fever... that and I really need to actually start fishing and stop spending money on lures! Tight lines mate, hope you get some good content over the summer.
I don't think there is a hard and fast rule, more the mark. There's some I fish that only produce an hour or so after high tide and some that are better on the flood. Thanks for your comment 👍
Yeah you're right, there's nothing better than seeing fish hit your lures. I do have one Spitting Wire but it's not caught me a fish yet but think the colour is probably wrong for the areas I fish.
@@johnratcliffe6438 Thats a canny fish count over 2 sessions. I've only used it a couple of times but i fished it walk the dog style with plenty of pauses. Rod tip low. I actually won it on FB ad it`s got an orange belly and i've never had much luck with orange lures. Now i can fish again, i might buy a more natural colour. What colour do you use?
@@SlippyLimpets 19CHC is the colour I use mate. Look on Lure Hub. I don't WTD with mine. Cast it out, then slow retrieve (just fast enough to form a wake) for 3 turns, pop it, pause and do nothing for slow 5 count and then repeat. The Bass kill it. Technique works beautifully at night as well. Try it before buying a new colour.
Hi Slippy, Thanks for your videos - I always enjoy them. I note from your description that your leader is heavier than your mainline. I know this is common - or not uncommon at least - but I've never understood the logic behind it. To my mind, if the leader is lighter than the mainline then, in the event of a snag, the leader is most likely to break where it's connected to the lure. If it's the other way around, as in your case, surely the most likely break point will be at the union of the mainline to the leader? Hope that makes sense? Any thoughts on this would be appreciated; thanks in advance!
Hi Tim, It's a great question you're asking and, in my eyes, there's not really a wrong or right answer because either way I'm going to lose a lure, a fish or both. Here's my logic though; to me, a leader has 2 functions- #1 Using fluorocarbon is a more subtle (visually) than using braid straight through to the lure. #2 Fluorocarbon is a lot more abrasion resistant than braid so in the event of it rubbing a rock then it's got far less chance of snapping than braid does. Reducing the diameter of the leader reduces this resistance to abrasion. When I'm fishing I'm not really worried about snagging up but I would be gutted if a hooked fish took cover behind a rock and snapped me off, so taking the above into account, I think #2 is the most important consideration and the reason why I tend to use a heavier leader. Hope this makes sense and thanks again for your comment! Tight Lines!
@@SlippyLimpets Thanks for the swift and comprehensive reply. And yes, it makes perfect sense! When I next replace my braid and fluoro' - I'll follow your example. Thanks again, Tim.
Most of my lures are around 16g which seems to be the sweet spot for my rod. You're braid breaking strain and length of drop when casting can have a huge impact on distance not to mention the type of lure you're throwing. If your plugs have a internal weight system then make sure all the ball bearings are at the tail of the lure before you cast. Hope this helps 👍
I haven't but my mate did catch a 7 pounder on one during a trip down south, they're definitely good, especially for the money. Thanks for your comment and tight lines!
@@SlippyLimpets Thank you for the videos mate. I love the channel. We live in Buckinghamshire and I don't get to fish as often as I'd like; your content keeps me sane 😊
@@johnratcliffe6438 I guess you can't get much further away from the sea down that way. I know if I can't fish for a couple of weeks I go loopy so I'm glad I can keep from losing it during sessions. Thanks for your support too👍
Awesome capturing the jumps like that. Great video. I know the second location well - did you travel all the way there to drive back same day!? They said, I’d probably do it if I were in the mood 😂
I was lucky with the conditions at the 2nd mark so was able to capture the takes. Yeah I did it in a day, I didn't actually get to the first mark until about 11 am, and left the 2nd just after 6pm with just over 8 hours of driving. Like you say it's not too bad if you're in the mood. Tight lines!
I haven't fully figured them out yet but this vid was shot from just after high water down to just before low by the time I'd finished. Not too big in terms of amplitude. Hope this helps
Nice fishing! Was this filmed recently or last summer? Scottish Bass off the top in March/April is good going! EDIT. should have ready the video description. Lol
It's something that I'm phasing out. My channel started mainly for me to watch back and keep a log- I like the music, reminds me of my youth- but there are new rules coming out and so most of the my videos with music will be taken down by You tube. Glad you like the though and hope you give my next one a watch 👍 Tight Lines
Me neither mate, this was my last trip of 2018! Got those lure the other day, and a pack of lure clips to go with! Will get to use them in a couple of weeks once the fish return! You're a legend!! ☺
Loved the video. Ok question please. What rod and reel are you using?? I got the lure name from a post I could watch you all day long. Keep up the brilliant videos thanks
My rod is a 8'6'' Lamya Thief by Slash, casting weight is 4-28g. The reel I'm using is a Diawa Freams 2508a loaded with 20lb G-soul WX8 braid. Hope this helps and glad you liked the video 👍 🎣
Well spotted!! I Love that car! Owned it 8 years, 160k miles and still pulls like a train. Best of all though, it costs nowt to run. Thanks for your comment and tight lines!
Slippy Limpets awesome cars bud, mines 197k cracking motors run forever...keep em coming fella, am getting the summer lure fun itch watching this haha 👌🏻
Your not the only one who can't find them, I've poppers,floaters,divers, shallows,deeps,shads, skerries,peeler crab,bass rod,fishing KAYAK,day time, Night time,tide in,tide out,winter,doing,summer,fall and bass I've caught NEVER, I think there a myth. North wales
They do seem like a mythical fish, there one moment gone the next. At least you're in the right location though, NW has some excellent fishing. Just keep plugging on. Tight lines 👍 🎣
Have you tried any line through sand eel lures yet? I've recently got some Savage Gear normal sand eels but not had chance to use them yet, just wanted to see if anyone else has been giving the line throughs a go and what they cast like. The trips you go on are great, some dodgy stuff but you're still with us so safe enough if you know it well. I used to be obsessed with beachcasting but got really sick of carrying the world on my back with me to the marks I wanted to fish, best choice I ever made was buying a smaller rod and much lighter gear and going and buying a load of lures, I don't feel like I want to die when I get back from fishing anymore which is great because it's a lot more fun when you're not knackered trying to fish. Great video, good luck on your next sessions. (Dan)
You're right about beach casting, it can be great on it's day but lure fishing, in my eyes, is a lot more proactive than hoping for the best, plus you get to buy loads of lures and they don't weight much :-) I have used the line through Eel but have yet to land anything on it. It casts like a bullet but, because of its slim profile, it doesn't have much bight in the water, so not much good on a windy day because you quickly loose contact with the lure. I hope this helps and Tight Lines, Dan!
Great help thanks very much, I might go out this weekend or tomorrow if I get chance. It's going to be cooling down towards the weekend so it'll probably slow the bites down so fingers crossed for tomorrow evening. I can't wait for summer to get here, getting fed-up of the cold, looks at least a few weeks away but it'll be good when the wrasse and Mackies show up in good numbers. Jet ski for next year I think, try and cut down on the mountaineering Llandudno is getting lethal these days on zigzag way but the fishing off it is always pretty good, not as much fun fishing next to corpses of sheep that have tried walking down there. I was going to get a kayak but living on the entrance of the river Dee won't let me do that, I don't want to risk the currents pulling me out to Ireland so the cheapest jet ski will do as long as it floats and drives I'll catch something on it even if it's just a cold lol.
It's a Xorus Patchinko 100 but I swapped the trebles out for the singles. One of my favourites and you're right it does cast like a bullet! Cheers and tight lines!
Slippy Limpets cheers for the reply, aye over the last couple of years I’ve switched completely to singles with pinched barbs, the missed takes don’t hurt as bad when you realise the damage trebles can do to young fish, never mind trying to remove one from a wrasse mouth!
Totally agree with you, it`s the schoolies that suffer the most with trebles, but I must admit I haven`t yet crushed the barbs on my singles. I`ll give it a try this season though. Maybe it might help filter out the smaller fish?
Slippy Limpets and when I say I pinch the barbs I do it ever so slightly to try and retain a small barb, and on that point sometimes the smaller guys can save a big old blank for me anyway!

Hi Slippy,
Thanks for your videos - I always enjoy them.
I note from your description that your leader is heavier than your mainline. I know this is common - or not uncommon at least - but I've never understood the logic behind it. To my mind, if the leader is lighter than the mainline then, in the event of a snag, the leader is most likely to break where it's connected to the lure. If it's the other way around, as in your case, surely the most likely break point will be at the union of the mainline to the leader? Hope that makes sense? Any thoughts on this would be appreciated; thanks in advance!
Hi Tim,
It's a great question you're asking and, in my eyes, there's not really a wrong or right answer because either way I'm going to lose a lure, a fish or both.
Here's my logic though; to me, a leader has 2 functions-
#1 Using fluorocarbon is a more subtle (visually) than using braid straight through to the lure.
#2 Fluorocarbon is a lot more abrasion resistant than braid so in the event of it rubbing a rock then it's got far less chance of snapping than braid does. Reducing the diameter of the leader reduces this resistance to abrasion.
When I'm fishing I'm not really worried about snagging up but I would be gutted if a hooked fish took cover behind a rock and snapped me off, so taking the above into account, I think #2 is the most important consideration and the reason why I tend to use a heavier leader.
Hope this makes sense and thanks again for your comment!

Thanks for the swift and comprehensive reply. And yes, it makes perfect sense! When I next replace my braid and fluoro' - I'll follow your example. Thanks again, Tim.
how much do your surface/shallow lures weigh? i cast with a 10-28 g rod with braid and always have probs getting good distance
Most of my lures are around 16g which seems to be the sweet spot for my rod. You're braid breaking strain and length of drop when casting can have a huge impact on distance not to mention the type of lure you're throwing. If your plugs have a internal weight system then make sure all the ball bearings are at the tail of the lure before you cast. Hope this helps 👍

It's the west coast👍🎣
In the feeding order the big ones are deeper
Yeah, you're right but can't really go much deeper at those marks.

My channel started mainly for me to watch back and keep a log- I like the music, reminds me of my youth- but there are new rules coming out and so most of the my videos with music will be taken down by You tube. Glad you like the though and hope you give my next one a watch 👍 Tight Lines
@@SlippyLimpets I know this video is old but only make videos you like, no for what a few in the comments think.
Couple of nice trips 👍
Thanks again! This vid was actually one day but I visited 2 marks before heading home. 👍 🎣
Where is this.
Jammy bugger, not seen hide nor hair of this years crop for me yet Nathan :)
Me neither mate, this was my last trip of 2018!
Got those lure the other day, and a pack of lure clips to go with! Will get to use them in a couple of weeks once the fish return! You're a legend!! ☺
Fair play mate
Loved the video. Ok question please. What rod and reel are you using?? I got the lure name from a post
I could watch you all day long. Keep up the brilliant videos thanks
My rod is a 8'6'' Lamya Thief by Slash, casting weight is 4-28g. The reel I'm using is a Diawa Freams 2508a loaded with 20lb G-soul WX8 braid. Hope this helps and glad you liked the video 👍 🎣
#vrslife yes lad awesome video as usual
Well spotted!! I Love that car! Owned it 8 years, 160k miles and still pulls like a train. Best of all though, it costs nowt to run. Thanks for your comment and tight lines!
Slippy Limpets awesome cars bud, mines 197k cracking motors run forever...keep em coming fella, am getting the summer lure fun itch watching this haha 👌🏻

They do seem like a mythical fish, there one moment gone the next. At least you're in the right location though, NW has some excellent fishing. Just keep plugging on. Tight lines 👍 🎣
Thanks m8
Nice work fella 👍
Cheers matey 👍 🎣
Nice bass
As usual, great video.. delighted to hear the DnB in the background, what tune is that ?
Sorry for the delay, not been near my PC for a few days but will definitely get the info for you. Should have credited it really.
Love the vid and your channel, I’m just setting up my own fishing channel “the occasional angler” ..... would love to know what you think
Best Guy
Have you tried any line through sand eel lures yet?
I've recently got some Savage Gear normal sand eels but not had chance to use them yet, just wanted to see if anyone else has been giving the line throughs a go and what they cast like.
The trips you go on are great, some dodgy stuff but you're still with us so safe enough if you know it well.
I used to be obsessed with beachcasting but got really sick of carrying the world on my back with me to the marks I wanted to fish, best choice I ever made was buying a smaller rod and much lighter gear and going and buying a load of lures, I don't feel like I want to die when I get back from fishing anymore which is great because it's a lot more fun when you're not knackered trying to fish.
Great video, good luck on your next sessions. (Dan)
You're right about beach casting, it can be great on it's day but lure fishing, in my eyes, is a lot more proactive than hoping for the best, plus you get to buy loads of lures and they don't weight much :-)
I have used the line through Eel but have yet to land anything on it. It casts like a bullet but, because of its slim profile, it doesn't have much bight in the water, so not much good on a windy day because you quickly loose contact with the lure.
I hope this helps and Tight Lines, Dan!
Great help thanks very much, I might go out this weekend or tomorrow if I get chance.
It's going to be cooling down towards the weekend so it'll probably slow the bites down so fingers crossed for tomorrow evening.
I can't wait for summer to get here, getting fed-up of the cold, looks at least a few weeks away but it'll be good when the wrasse and Mackies show up in good numbers.
Jet ski for next year I think, try and cut down on the mountaineering Llandudno is getting lethal these days on zigzag way but the fishing off it is always pretty good, not as much fun fishing next to corpses of sheep that have tried walking down there.
I was going to get a kayak but living on the entrance of the river Dee won't let me do that, I don't want to risk the currents pulling me out to Ireland so the cheapest jet ski will do as long as it floats and drives I'll catch something on it even if it's just a cold lol.
Fantastic video as usual pal what was the single hook lure you had the third fish on it seemed to cast like a bullet ? Cheers
It's a Xorus Patchinko 100 but I swapped the trebles out for the singles. One of my favourites and you're right it does cast like a bullet! Cheers and tight lines!
Slippy Limpets cheers for the reply, aye over the last couple of years I’ve switched completely to singles with pinched barbs, the missed takes don’t hurt as bad when you realise the damage trebles can do to young fish, never mind trying to remove one from a wrasse mouth!
Totally agree with you, it`s the schoolies that suffer the most with trebles, but I must admit I haven`t yet crushed the barbs on my singles. I`ll give it a try this season though. Maybe it might help filter out the smaller fish?
Slippy Limpets and when I say I pinch the barbs I do it ever so slightly to try and retain a small barb, and on that point sometimes the smaller guys can save a big old blank for me anyway!
Many thanks for the reply. Stay safe
No worries and same to you 👍
Both locations are clearly identifiable from footage in this video.
Surely only if you already know the area?
Pretty shitty to blurr out the location
Only the first mark is blurred out.
Great video, I love surface fishing for pike, subscribed to your channel, if you would like to check out mine 👍
cant watch cos of the stupid music
Sorry you couldn't enjoy it but thanks for your feedback.
Turn the volume down
@@georgeridsdale4329 well said sir! 👍
