Join me Lure Fishing for European Seabass along North Devon's rugged and stunningly beautiful coastline.
In the bright afternoon sunshine I spot my target species hunting for bait fish in a rocky gully and one lure quickly comes to mind as the perfect offering for this situation.

Replacement arrived!By the way, I did forget to mention that the original lure did have a decent strike however as most anglers will attest you can get a hit kzfaq.infoUgkxCbNOWAGmn6nfbCbJDmasvBq7J38KZNw2 and fish will hang on and release lure. I used the replacement lure yesterday and ran thru a Shimano Waxwing, Kastmaster, Bobber (set to sink). I found the does run deep (I casting on the flats 3.5'). Make sure you adjust your rate of retrieve and rod tip angle (up) to prevent getting snagged on bottom. Used it a couple of times and action was very lifelike (looked like local bait fish for trevally), craftsmanship very good....however eyeball fell out. I asked for replacement and it is on it's way! It was very easy to change out treble to single inline hook.

Good stalking skill. Reminds me of wild trout fly fishing on small lochans, although I creep round on hands and knees sometimes if I see a cracking fish. Maybe it's me but after 40 years of fishing I would take the view that first fish was a win, no need to sigh, you'd fooled it and played it pretty much to hand. The bonus is it wasn't handled and mauled just to get trophy photos, which generally is not good for fish. I need to get more into lrf, done some sea fly fishing like that - pollack on a trout rod is next level. They chase a small tube fly up from deep rocks like a trout snapping at it. Locations a bit like that but dropping down deeper.

Really good video which perfectly frames the North Devon coast. I’m originally from Ilfracombe so it brought back many childhood memories of the rugged coastline. I now live in Dorset and lure fish all the time so your video has definitely tempted me to go back for a few days this summer. Do-Live sticks are brilliant and have worked well for me in Christchurch Harbour for big bass but the terrain is so bland and boring compared to glorious Devon…but I am biased!

Just found your channel. Nice catch there bud, well done for not giving up after the other one threw the hook. I live in North Devon (Appledore) and will be throwing a few lures around soon, so hopefully will pick up a good fish or two. All the best and look forward to your next fishing adventures...tight lines.

Thanks for the kind words matey, I ordered it from Japan and just took the expense import charges on the chin as I really needed a decent telescopic net myself. Was definitely worth getting though as it opens up a load more fishing opportunities with the extra long reach 👍

@johnnicholson4862 Жыл бұрын

Hi, lovely vid. You seem to have an unweighted soft plastic, and don't seem to throw it too far, then when the bass bites it seems a fair distance away. How far are you throwing that lure? I ask because I would love to throw unweighted lures, but can't get any distance with them.

@saltwaterjunky607 Жыл бұрын

These Do-Live Sticks do cast particularly well but even then they are reserved for fairly calm conditions, if you're struggling to get much distance with unweighted sp's I would hazard a guess and say maybe your rod and line is too heavy for the lure your trying to use?

Always feels good to get that first Bass of the year under your belt, nice one 👍 This is the basic net and pole set I'm using, I also have some of the accessories added to it like the net tilt system all available through major craft. tackle4all.com/major-craft-landing-net-c-571_573_2080/major-craft-firstcast-landing-set-ls400fc-length-4mt-dimention-605cm-p-13754.html

Cheers for the comment Chris I'm glad you liked the video. It is a surprising amount of fun fishing with light lure tackle and it's really effective too even for many of the bigger fish. Perhaps you can find some fresh water fishing if you're not close to the sea?

wouldnt piss on lip grippers mate you lost that fish for messing around with unnecessary bs

@saltwaterjunky607 11 ай бұрын

What I should have done was use the net on that first fish. Imo in this kind of location it's better to have some degree of control over the fish with the use of a lip grip, rather than having them thrash around and potentially dropped on the rocks.
