@@FISHISLANDTV cheers mate, yeh not bad, shame I couldn’t have hooked a few more of them 😄

@@davidwoods7121 cheers Dave 👍

@@Full_on_flyfishing thanks mate, likewise, I’ll be watching your video with Hector asap! 👍

@@MrHenry366 cheers Henry, yeh it’s definitely about more than catching the fish. The solitude, peace and surroundings make the 4am alarms worth it all on their own 🤙

@@W4Aw no worries mate 👍

@@slhibbs it’s a great place!

@@W4Aw Hi mate, I have a video on flies which you can check out here Saltwater Fly Fishing UK | 3 Beginner Flies For Sea Bass | Fly Fishing For Sea Bass ruclips.net/video/NCaj-mNzgWY/видео.html For a fly line, at the moment I just use a regular trout line, it’s an Airflo Forge. Although if you want to spend a bit more money, an Airflo 40+ or similar will make casting the bigger flies a bit easier 👍

@@Zer0JusTice-qh8bc no worries mate, it will be well worth it 👍

@@justinphillips7392 no worries, it’s available to re-watch on the channel 👍 whereabouts do you fish?

@@thereel7071 I fish a 120 year old dock with very limited places to fish.... but is home to bass and mullet well in to double figures. I don't want to say the place because it is already pretty busy! Question.... what retrieve speed do you find best? At my venue steady figure of eight seems most productive

@@justinphillips7392 it depends if I’m fishing in flow or more slack water but generally for bass a medium paced retrieve works most of the time. Last weekend I stopped my fly and watched a bass hit my fly twice on the pause but failed to hook it 🤦‍♂️ For mullet I’ve tried dead drifting flies in the flow, figure of 8 and short strips to emulate a fleeing shrimp but I’ve only ever caught one so can’t say anything works over another yet. We keep trying 😄

@@fishdisco3107 cheers buddy, no problem at all, thanks for watching!

@@jainalarr7713 Hola amigo, lo siento si mi español no es tan bueno. Gracias por tu mensaje, veré si es posible agregar subtítulos a mis videos. Gracias por suscribirte y mejor suerte con tu pesca, ¡líneas apretadas!

The results will come by themselves and they will quickly return to the water. The wonderful thing about fly fishing is integrating with the environment, feeling the satisfaction of making a good cast and trusting in catching a fish in 20 inches of water. For many people, it is truly crazy. I can understand written English but I only understand spoken English if a Turkish or Russian speaks to me... but from an English men is more difficult. BEST REGARDS!

Thanks buddy! It is great fun 👍

@@georgeholmes6099 thanks man 😊 yep floating line, but I pretty much exclusively fish an 8wt for the bass, the rod in the video is fibreglass though so does bend a fair bit more than carbon fibre 😄 no reason why you couldn’t fish a 6, 7 or 9wt, 8 is just my preference 👍

@@mackenziedyche-brookes4548 hey man, I personally use an 8wt, you can go as low as 6 and up to a 9wt but I find the 8 is a good balance of casting power for bigger flies and still being fun to play the fish. My leader is 5ft of 35lb fluorocarbon with 3ft of 15lb tippet, I sometimes go down to 10lb tippet if it’s really calm 👍 tight lines!

@@andykjohnsonjohnson7622 good for you buddy, not everyone is blessed with your experience though and it can be new and fun for others 👍

What a stupid comment

@@dwardz1 hi mate, I fish the coast between Southampton and Chichester 👍

@@thereel7071 nice, I thought I recognised a few areas. I've always wanted to try fly fishing for bass but just don't know where to start. I'm only 5 minutes from Hayling.

@@dwardz1 Hayling is definitely a good place to start, have you got any gear/ fly fished before?

@@thereel7071 oh yeah, I'm a keen fly fisherman but still waters typically.

@@dwardz1 I’d say fishing for bass definitely has some similarities. The majority of the time you are stripping in flies in a similar way to fishing lures for trout. The tide introduces flow which you have to contend with but it’s all part of the learning curve. If you have a 7 or 8wt rod then you could use that to give it a try. I keep leaders super simple, 6ft butt section of 35lb fluoro and 2ft of 10 or 15lb tippet, I scale down to 10 if it’s really calm. I’ve done a video on bass flies that covers everything you’ll need to catch fish, which isn’t much, I’ve caught all my fish this year on 2 flies 😄 The thing that’s going to make the biggest difference is finding a good mark and fishing it at the right state of tide which has taken me nearly 3 years to get the hang of consistently. A general rule of thumb is to fish 2 hours either side of high or low tide as the fish should be moving in or out as it floods/ ebbs. Then as I say in the video, keep moving and look for bait fish on the surface, birds diving, structure and flow, these are all clues that bass will be nearby 👍 sometimes you find one of these things, sometimes a combination. Most important thing is to stay safe, you’ll need some wading gear and an awareness of the tide as there are places where you can get cut off if you’re not careful. And a line tray is a must as the tide, rocks and loose fly line don’t mix well 😄 It’s really good fun and addictive! Feel free to give me a shout if you need anymore advice, Tight lines!

@@colejfishingadventures cheers mate 😊 I will check that out, glad you’re enjoying the videos 👍

@@leeroberts1860 thanks mate 😊

@@Pablofishes thanks mate, means a lot 😄

@@stevedolling1998 thanks man 😊 if you’re just after bass I’d go for an 8wt, you need a powerful rod to throw the larger flies and 8wt isn’t too heavy that smaller fish are still fun to catch 👍

Cheers man, yeh it is great fun when it all comes together! Definitely worth a go! Tight lines

Thanks man 😄 hopefully more pike coming this Autumn 🤞

@@thereel7071 yes I’m looking forward to the anticipation of that whack on a fly/ lure or 5he dip of a pike float. I am up in north Devon, are you aware of any pike waters up my way, good or bad I am interested to take on the challenge

@@1conkers1 it might be a bit of a trek but pike fishing I know of towards that way is the Somerset levels, great for pike generally and fly fishing as the banks are quite clear. The River Parrett and the King Sedgemoor drain are worth a look 👍

@@thereel7071 appreciate that matey. Tight lines!

We do get sea trout, but they tend to run up the rivers fairly quickly as far as I know and don’t hunt on the coast. There are places where catching one would be possible but very unlikely. I must admit, watching coastal fishing for sea trout was part of what inspired me to try the coast here, albeit for different species.

@@thereel7071 Interesting. Here in Denmark we catch a lot of them. I have a bunch of videos showing what the fishing is like. The Bass on the other hand is on open north sea coast only.

@@maaj58 I know of coastal sea trout fishing in Scotland which is similar, it’s interesting as we have plenty of rivers on the UK south coast that the sea trout run up but you don’t hear of them being caught in the sea unfortunately.

@@thereel7071 Yeah. It's strange they have so different behaviours. Some of the areas you fish looks very muddy. Places like that we usually with very brackish water we catch them in winter/early spring usually from January to midt March. Around the first full moon in March we have ragworms spawning and it's like the mayfly hatch for sea trout.

Thanks man, getting up for sunrise definitely helps as I’m never very far from civilisation but can definitely escape it! If I don’t catch I still feel great afterwards 👍

It can be hard work sometimes but it’s great fun when it all comes together!

Thanks man 🙏

Not me buddy…

@@thereel7071 I have fished with DM in the past, but not for a very long time. Flyfishing for bass puts most other types of fishing in the shade.

Thanks man 😄

Not yet, still got lots of areas to explore. Sounds good, would love to get in to some mackerel. Cheers 😄

Thanks very much 😊

Thanks Lincoln 🙏😊

Cheers buddy 🙏

Great fishing 👍🏻🗿👍🏻 I don't think I could ever sumon up the confidence to fish a surface fly😅

@@powermanagement2619 thanks man 😄 it’s definitely not for the faint hearted!

Hi, yep my indicator was a piece of packing foam tied on a hook, the mullet probably mistook it for bread which was kind of my thinking when tying them. The indicator was actually sub surface when the mullet took it as well. Cheers, tight lines!

Thanks man 😊

Thanks man, hopefully more bass videos on the way soon 👍 subbed you back 🫡

Thanks mate! A 6wt will be fine but stick to smaller flies to make casting a bit easier, small baitfish patterns up to an inch and a half should cast ok and bass take shrimp style mullet flies as well which might be worth a go. I haven’t fished Dorset but I imagine you will be able to find some spots where the 6wt will work and it will be more fun catching them on lighter tackle. I fish an 8wt most of the time for bass but mostly so I can throw bigger flies. Leader wise to start with I’d use 5 ft or so of 35lb fluorocarbon as a butt section with 2-3ft of 15lb fluoro tippet just to keep it simple and easy to cast 👍 Tight lines!

Thank you for the help dude. Tight lines

Thanks Matt, appreciate it 👍🏻 Yeh at the moment I’ll look at the tide and go where I’ll be able to fish as a lot of my local marks are quite muddy, which means low tide can be tricky as it rules out a lot of places. I went back to the estuary mark in the video last weekend and found an inlet that’s quite gravelly so I can fish it around low now. It’s going to take a while but I’m slowly building a picture of hot spots and bassy looking areas at different states of the tide so hopefully my success rate will slowly improve too 😄 Tight lines!

Cheers Gary 👍 Will do 😄

Thanks man 😊

Thanks man 😊

Thanks man, it's worth all the hard work when it comes good!

@@thereel7071 hi yes sure does I’ve been lucky enough to go out with Graham from G’s tight lines really good guy very helpful got me onto my first proper river brown trout and a bonus grayling first ever for me so absolutely stoked check him out good fly fishing videos along with sea angling LRF etc www.youtube.com/@GsTiteLines

Cheers Andy, it’s my favourite spot now 😄
