- Surface Lure success for Bass this week as i decide to stop fishing and come back two hours later. It paid off as we manage some Bass from the Shore.
Lure fishing at night can throw up some excellent catches and at the very least improve our chances.
In this episode we discuss the Pros and cons of fishing with no light.
We test a number of different Lures we varying luck !
Lure fishing at night can be tricky and there is not normally a need to thrash those lures through the water. Bait fish are slower at night , sometimes barely moving and we should do the same with our Lures.

Respect that you put them back so they keep the population up, nice 👍🏼 😊
joy looking at you fishing ,
Thanks pat
Fantastic session, Matt, some stunning bass, by 'eck, they are a beautiful fish!
Not sure if you'll remember, but I was applying for a peach of a job in Cornwall, hoping to relocate from Warwickshire, about as far from sea bass as a man can be!
The boys only gone and got the job! Just in the process of sorting a house, and boom, we'll be needing to learn a new language, Cornish! We are all really excited, let the adventure begin!
Yes of course I remember! A great move for you , looking forward to hearing about your first Cornish bass , just minutes from your new home hopefully 👍
I agree with Mohammad, that was inspirational. It's inspired me to try harder! I don't have a great deal of luck with lures, so I'm obviously doing it wrong. I will keep watching your videos & learn from the master. Well done Matt.
Thanks for saying that ,next weeks video may also help 😉
Great session mate can’t beat bass off the top 👍👍🎣
Yes sure is fun , keeps them up high in the water too
Persistence paid off well done my friend 🌟🎣
Yep thanks Stevie
Been watching all your content of late to help my get started with bass lure fishing, it’s been a great help! Thanks
Thanks for watching Harry let us know how you get on on your lure journey
He does know what hes doing Sometimes
great session. done exactly the same years ago when I lived in Salcombe. used to have plenty of dead days with bait, but then go back on the evening and chuck a lure out on light tackle and pull a dozen or so in .......not every time, but evenings like the one in the video almost always produced...especially around Slapton or on the rocks around Snapes point or Splat cove......happy days.
Yes ! You get it Carl thanks good comment thank you , what a great part of the world your in too 👍
Well done Matt👏. I guess you proved it.😀
Some really nice bass there.🎣🎣🎣
Very informative. 🧑🎓Thank you for sharing your knowledge and experience.👏👏
Take care and stay safe.😷🙊
Hi Ian ! Well not quite proved the big fish theory yet but I’m excited to bring you next weeks video where the good catches continue
Basstastic session Matt. 🎣
Very good Ian , I was thinking I’d have that in a title too BASSTASTIC! Maybe next weeks video 😉
Great bass. Great video. More more more please. 👍🐟🐟
Ohh ok then coming right up…..
It looks very bassy , great stuff .
Nice one Matt. 👍.
Hi Cliff thanks mate, it was good fun and next weeks video things get even crazier ! 🎉
Awesome stuff again
Thanks for watching Leon
Great session 👏
Yes great fun thanks I’m happy not to blank but next week things get even better ! Much better🎉
Brilliant matt bass fishing is terrible here in the netherlands its just over the top sadly!
Shame to hear that - it’s picking up here with next weeks vid looking pretty crazy 😂 funny how things change though
@@SaltwaterAngler yes for sure literally everyone is complaining on the forum in the netherlands catches are really not great atm! Hopefully beter soon!
Great sport Matt, those bass love a scrap! :)
They certain were lively today 👍
Great fishing Matt
Can’t wait to get down to Brandon bay in a week or so and wet a line!!
Hopefully get a few Bass on the spinners 👌
Ahh I’ve had good bass from there ! On lugworm though 😊
@@SaltwaterAngler I might have to stick with the spinning, I have had a bit of surgery a while back so no digging for a while
Might try sand eels instead,plenty of Mackerel in Tralee bay at the moment for bait!👍
The Diawa pairs are in Kerry for the past week competition fishing so there won’t be a lug to be had🤣
Inspirational Matt
Glad you enjoyed it. More fun next week
Was torture watching a nice bass swimming around with the mullet in sovereign Harbour yesterday to the point I think I'm going to have to go back at 3am and throw a lure around haha
Yea you’ll get an extra prize for avoiding their over zealous security. Carl and Alex did a video from there - bread the best bait for bass there by the way
@@SaltwaterAngler really!? Surely they don't have security patrolling at 3am? Not a fan of their channel but will look that video up. I've never caught a mullet before tried loads of times down the river but they have none of it.
I seem to be getting them all on surface lures lately, just got in an hour ago after catching a 2Ib and 4Ib off the rocks😃😃
Yea! Lovely 😊
Try a surface popper in the dusk . Sometimes good results .
Lovely to eat Ginger Spring onions garlic baked in the oven yum
Yes 👍 yes good thing is hard to overcook a bass too
Another great video thanks Matt. Some useful tips on using surface lures. Have you tried the SG panic prey lures? Be interested to know your thoughts? I never target Bass, as I usually assume the marks I can get to won't have Bass around, but thought I'd try a Panic Prey one evening and caught a Schoolie 1st cast! Best regards, stay safe & well, Dave. 🎣🎣👍👍
Yes indeed , another useful lure. Don’t discount marks just because they have the easy access, those bass can be had anywhere at times ! A fish on the first cast Dave - yes get in 👍
There’s only one problem with surface lures, they’re so addictive, hate changing to anything else! Actually two problems, gulls.
Ha ! Yep 👍 always start with them because you can always say you have them a chance. Immature herring gulls are the problem it’s fun to just wait for the gulls to dive then fast drag . Catch no gulls but might entice a bass
In croatia you always catch with surface lure. There is no day without action. The only difference is that we croatians catch seagulls instead of seabass
😂 the wrong sort of action !
Great video. Why did you change rods at the end ? Was it because you didn't need to cast as far ?
Just trying to remember? Think it was I lost a rod ring as we went in to night
Have u ever used savage gear gravity sticks?
Yes , very good way to fish snaggy ground and used them to good effect through boulders
I don’t get why you don’t get the wellies in and get in the wash
Great vid Matt. High tide? What was the moon doing? Was it the weekend of 9/10/11th?
Neap tides !
@@SaltwaterAngler Ah, yeah. Thanks. I think I’m sticking to rigidly to my old ways I was taught (wrongly) that the spring tides were worth fishing but not the neaps, for some reason. 🤷🏼♂️
I’m over thinking it.
Had a great evening 2nd Sept - caught a dozen- several over 42cm but only took one. I think I’ll just try whenever I get the time and not worry too much about, tides, tide-coefficient, moon etc.etc.
But I only fish Shoreham.
Great vids think I’ve seen them all 😑keep ‘em coming 👍🏻👍🏻
Thanks yea , bigger tides are normally a great time for various reasons but I’ve encountered many anomalies over the years with the best fish being from smaller tides in 20 and 21 ?
@@SaltwaterAngler oh great. I am over thinking it. Cheers Matt. I’ve yet to gain your knowledge & experience- it’s really helpful thanks. 👍🏻
is there any way you can set the camera to just keep filming over 3 or 4 hours so you can capture the whole session? I imagine it must be a pain to have to switch it on every time you get a hookup and you're missing that initial moment
Good thinking, thanks. Yes that’s an option - there is and the camera has a mode that records all the time. I’ll give it some though thanks.
nice video, thanks. Like the look of the X-Rap long cast lure. What leader do you use and what braid to leader knot do you use please ? Cheers
Hi Robert yes it’s a beast that one but no fish on it yet ! FG knot is king for braid to flouro . There’s an updated list of brands I’m working on over on the blog www.saltwaterangler.uk/blog
@@SaltwaterAngler Many thanks for your reply. I have been using the FG knot but have found when I give a final pull to check it is OK the braid snaps about an inch up from the knot. I must be doing something wrong, or pulling too hard as it happens on new braid also. Appreciate any thoughts you might have what's happening. Enjoy your videos so thanks. Cheers Bob
You are doing something wrong - can you film yourself doing the know and send me it ? I’ll take a look matt@saltwaterangler.uk
@@SaltwaterAngler OK I will try and many thanks
What reel is that you are using first.?
The ultegra 2500
Been trying on a similar shingle beach last wekeend, but caught nothing......
What state of the tide , are there any underwater features or significant depth changes
@@SaltwaterAngler i am a beginner, and even thought i did not catch anything, i had great fun just trying to cast as far as i could haha I was fishing under a pier, so i guess that is underwater feature. and i was fishing just after high tide with it going out.
Thank you
@@SaltwaterAngler Thank you very mutch... have a nice Weekend.... see you….
What was the rod called ?
Hi mate, what leader knot you prefer, Thankyou for the response on instagram, regards J
Fg for braid/ flouro double uni knot on the beach gear
Where Are You?
Matt is from Hastings
Ha now Captain Leslie you know I can’t say that 😂
Stop talking bollocks mate about your fishing tackle At the beginning of your video !
We all have not got money to burn 🔥 on the latest fishing tackle .
No ! Subscribers often ask what I’m using and I’m just responding to that. I’m often asks about a rods action or casting weight for example.
This is not the channel for you we often look at budget rods and have a genuine community. You’ve done one of those stupid comments where the second part we all agree on but the first part makes you sound like you should not be here watching !
I AM VERY SORRY THANK YOU SO MUTCH FOR YOUR SWIFT REPLY.
Oops poops! I’ve been a bit of a plumb / keyboard warrior.
I ENJOY YOUR VIDEOS YERY MUCH SORRY GETS A BIT TO MUCH FOR ME NOT YOU SUMETIMES GETS A BIT OVERWHELMING FOR ME I MAYBE WATCH TO MANY TACKLE TART VIDEOS
