Didn't think I'd ever catch a bass this big from the shore in March!

I know it's fishing and we never quite know what's going to happen, but a 76cm bass from the shore in the UK, in March?

Henry, thanks for yet another amazing video. I took up bass fishing in Jan ‘24 - probably the worst time of the year for bass fishing! I’ve fished all my life, and caught carp to 60lb+, but I’ve been totally inspired by your videos and fishing for bass. I love fishing with minimal gear and not sitting in a bivvy waiting for the fish to come and find me! I’m fishing on the South Coast of England, and I’ve now had 2 bites in 21 sessions, but I did manage to land one off the shore at the end of January on a SG sand eel weedless lure. It went absolutely nuts - like a trout on steroids (!) - and that’s encouraged me to continue bass fishing despite repeated blanks. I live in hope that the fishing will improve as the weather gets warmer……….!

@henrygilbey302 3 ай бұрын

Outstanding, so cool to read stuff like this!!!! You have done well to land bass, it's not a great time of year and we have months of the best fishing to come. This lure fishing for bass is SO addictive, welcome to the sickness!!!!

The lure is what I caught the bass on............ Nope, the rod is a sample I have been working on with Savage Gear. I love a Shimano reel, there is nothing like them in many respects.

I don't obsess about the lightest spinning reel possible in a lot of situations.
