Used to fish the old town for bass a few years back but decided to start fishing Dungeness again the last 2 years, this year the bass have been between 50-60cm but need to watch out for dogfish around there. Glad that 1 catch changed your mentality.
High Matt, down in Torquay for a week, haven't used the car all week, went to get my gear for a day spinning/plugging for Bass or anything else holy s**t my gears been stolen, rod large holdall 2 reels 2 large boxes absolutely stuffed with lures plastics and everything else that was in it 😳 absolutely devastated and deeply peeed off. Made a start Torquay Harbour tackle shop, Savage gear sg2 7 / 35grm. £90 but small mark in finish so £80. Onwards and upwards. Cheers mate Les.
@@SaltwaterAngler cheers Matt, poped it on Facebook, hopefully the little shit gets what he deserves. There was some good cctv footage and he's got a very distinct limp too, police informed they will be checking the footage 😉 and there's a good chance he's known to them. Fingers crossed but not holding out to much hope 🙏 Also went to the cash converters & another similar shop ( they all know each other) so if he goes in there they will just take it off him. Started with new rod to kick things off, bingo win, thank god. Sorry to burden you 😔 mate but gutted. Do you still favour the sedona reel ?? for spinning or have you found something a bit better ?? The Daiwa was only £20 on amazon didn't get a chance to use it, what's your honest opinion 🤔 opinion. Cheers for now 👍 Les
Nice one Matt. I have had some great sessions at that mark i met you at on the lures. Had a 5lber just before high water right as you climb down. Then i had a 6lber right out on the reefs at low water. We have had countless bass smaller though. Its really been producing well the last few weeks, even with all the seals around.
Awesome again Matt, do u find full ,half ,new moon fish better ? If u try & get Mark Bergs fishing addiction is worth watching, he is a really nice guy ,.Happy catching from Australia Nick
Matt, can I ask your advice, I have fished for years but not much sea fishing , I have just bought an Abu Garcia X Svartzonker 7’ 11” spinning rod rated 30~100g , could you recommend a few reels and lines to match it for a bass fishing ? . Ps I do have a much lighter 10 -30g 7’ rod , same question
Great looking beach.
It really is!

Thanks for watching

Thanks fellow Hastings man

Couldn't agree more!
Well done mat, great video as always
Appreciate the watch
Nice one Matt. Informative as usual plenty to learn😊
Thanks, it’s amazing how just one fish can save the day !

Great video mate tight line's.
Nice Bass. Nearly at the point of needing heavier gear earlier. I've found Bass bite better with less moonlight, but you never know!
Ahh yes but the full moon also coincides with bigger tides! Lots of factors - your right about the gear too

Ive read Bass legal limit has to be 43cm and.above. but wery well done for getting the one you did 😊
It's 42
Can I please ask what strength of braid you use for this set up, cheers
15lb

I thought Bass limit was 42cm thats what it says on GOV.UK
is that your local bye law?
Yep sorry mis spoke there!
'Blue Moon'🌚
It didn’t look very blue !
Probably a city fan trying to be funny Matt, ignore him us reds do lol
hmm sea bass is 42cm minimum size
I will definitely take a 42cm Bass for the table.
42cm, that's what I thought too !
Think it's because they're not breeding size till 46cm so good practice to only take them once big enough to have spread dna.
42cm is min size here in North Wales
Here too I mis- spoke ! Think Ireland a bit higher
Ireland is 42cm too, if i were in charge there would be a maximum of 55.
Max 55 ? Not min ?
No max,as the bigger ones are the best breeders and he means a max limit would protect them
One fish can make the difference.
Its 42 cm mate, not 45
" Gives you a real lift when you catch a fish" I wouldn't know, rub it in why don't you. And he's waving his massive rod about! Youve changed mate.
Share in my excitement !
@@SaltwaterAngler I do mate. It's always nice to actually catch something, especially when you target a specific fish.
