here in Portugal we fish with the swiming crabs for seabream, bass, etc its one of the best bait for bass here in portugal. they have very crunchy and not very strong shell. They are very fast moving and swimming and aggressive. we call them "Caranguejo Pilado"
@@kieranroberts9119 nope we got those too they grow quite alot more and are a nice snack and normally you find near the bottom or in rocks. The ones im talking about alot of times u find them swimming in the middle of nowhere. This is the scientific name of the crabs in question "Polybius henslowii Leach" you can find them in the uk france portugal spain etc
Looking forward to watching this later! See from the start you are on the prawns - I love float fishing prawn, super relaxed and I got my Pb 68cm / 6lb13 last week on first cast with live prawn. Released her for another day.
I was having a day off today, then a customer called with an emergency. I thought I had better do the right thing, but the job took forever. Five hours later, I got home, made a brew & opened my laptop to see you had posted a new vid. That was a great video, with lots of variety, & plenty of fish. Fishing from a kayak is the most enjoyable, & productive fishing I’ve ever done. I can’t remember the last time I did any float fishing, but always loved watching the float go under. Thanks again. Have a great weekend.
Thanks Ian it makes it worthwhile to read messages like this - the kayak is king and I’ve had a bit of a lay off having paddled every year since my first (sit in) fishing kayak in 1990 . It offers more consistent catching but I particularly like the freedom of getting away from crowds fishing ! I have some float going under footage but it gives away the mark unfortunately
Nice video thanks Matt! A couple of nice Bass there. I must try & get hold of a Prawn net. Torrential rain here this morning so thanks for something to watch to keep me out of mischief! Stay safe & well! 👍👍
Starts out innocent enough, casting a few lines with your mates after school, fun and games. “It’s a gateway” they say “leads to harder stuff” but you don’t listen. Then one day you wake up to realise you’re more or less farming just to feed your habit. Saltwater angling, not even once! 😂 Great vid as usual!
There's nothing quite like watching a float duck under, even if it does have a hypnotic effect after 5 minutes. When looking at your likes I noticed that someone had the audacity to click dislike, but then I noticed that I had done it by mistake. Corrected now. Sorry Matt. Thumbs up from me 👍
Nice to see this video pop up. Just back from my first time catching prawns. In an hour im going to try my luck with the Seabass. Greetings from The Netherlands
@@SaltwaterAngler Thank you! They worked very well. I used to fish with ragworms but the bass keep stealing them from the hook. With the prawns every bite was guaranteed fish. Caught 5 bass, small ones but had a good time.
Took you a minute to find your sea legs there Matt, great vid again, keep it up, love how you don't try to come over as an expert all the time unlike some of your RUclips competitors
Interesting video. Lot of different sea fishing methods explained. Some nice fish caught too. Inspiring. Lure fishing next week from a Sussex mark. Thanks
Hi Matt, greetings from a land locked Midlander! I only get to go sea fishing on my summer holidays & have only been doing it about 4 years so have very little experiance & knowledge. Subbed your channel some time ago & not only do you keep it alive for me, & many others I suspect, but as a point of reference the knowledge you share is invaluable. I'm looking forward to our holiday on the south coast mid July and feel this year Im going far better prepared for my early morning fishing adventures after watching all of your videos & just want to thank you for all of the time & effort you put into sharing your passion. As a thought, how about doing a series of short detailed beginers tips, like the float set up on here, for us less confident newbies? All the very best, Ian.
Thanks for this message really appreciated these points, there is a whole load of videos for beginners here on the channel however I will do some fundamentals for you. Living in the midlands is an issue but you do have north wales to head for !
@@SaltwaterAngler Thanks Matt. Have started going through your historical posts and can see your already on it & providing learner tips & inspiration! Please keep it up. My kits all checked over & ready to go! Really cant wait!
Great video, When I go prawning I keep the large brown ships too, then I eat the lot rather than using as bait :-)) I must have a go with some as bait actually.
Only indirectly as I last fished there 25 years ago. 1. Before you go consult WSF, Facebook, RUclips. 2. When your there befriend a local angler 3. Live bait or match the bait fish you see in the water. I’d avoid the deep deep Rock marks and look for some tidal movements! Have some heavier weighted sandeel type shads maybe
Great photogrqphy and editing Matt, so here's the question, what's the difference between a prawn and a shrimp? (Sounds like a joke but it isn't, honest!)
Not been lure fishing this season, dying to go for a few chucks this week.. I don’t get much spare time with work and 2 kids.. I’m based in north wales 🏴 question- would you say is there any point going at low tide for a few chucks for an hour or so at mid dayish? Any help from you or anyone in the comments would be much appreciated 👍🏼
Each mark will perform differently, there are marks that will see good fish right on low tide and others high tide for example. Many factors. My local beaches fish better in good sunlight but others need night or low light. There’s so many factors I’d get down when you can and start making mistakes and learning your patch.
Some of these venues are hidden to protect them . Occasionally netting could follow us anglers so to be respectful I don’t show the marks where decent size bass are caught.

Nice one , very interesting. I think i should use crabs more
Maybe the velvet swimming crab here in UK?

Hi. Hope your summers going well mate, glad you learnt the odd thing- I’ve still lots to learn myself

Thanks and your right that was my first launch from a yak for a while ! Needed to find my sea ARMS too !
Great vid mate! Was great to meet you on the beach the other day, thanks for the advice too. Blanked again but I won't give up trying!

Hello Mate , to keep those prawns (or shrimps) alive and kickin , better put them in a wet rag than water . nice vid !
Thanks captaincavern that’s another good option
Very interesting information and enjoyable to watch
Thanks for watching
Great video Mat
Thanks
Great vid😉
Thanks Mark , glad you enjoyed it.-
Great video, When I go prawning I keep the large brown ships too, then I eat the lot rather than using as bait :-))
I must have a go with some as bait actually.
That's a great idea!
I am just flooding your comment section today 😆
How did you get the Navionics to display that way?
That’s ok that was a screen shot for the phone
@@SaltwaterAngler How did you get it setup to view the underwater terrain?
@@SaltwaterAngler I downloaded the Navionics app and it’s the Sonar Imagery I can’t get to work. Is that part of the premium features?
Thanks for your channel really good. Where is good to lure fish in Bexhill on sea?
Anywhere just look for a good tide around obstruction rocks and reefs. Take a walk at low tide and look for fish holding features
Awesome video dude, I really want to get/make a shrimp net. Did you see smash fishing getting bass in a small net the other day 😮🤯
Cheers, no but that sounds cool
Is Hastings pier open for anglers, if it is, what are the hours and what do they charge for a session ?
I hope you keep up with the quality videos. 👍
Yes £8 for 1 £10 for 2 rods open every day usually around 8-11pm occasional random closures
@@SaltwaterAngler Thanks for the info'.
Top man 👍
@@SaltwaterAngler fiver for 1
Cracking video. Thank you
Cheers Greg
Great vid! What app did you use for finding the underwater features please? Looks like a great tool to have.
Hi Jack that’s navionics
That rockling would make a good bait too
Yes good point
Are the swimmer crabs not immature velvet crabs?
We are not sure will check
Tops 👍
Super!
Good stuff ;)
Thanks
Like your video
Any advice for catching bass in North Devon? In Lynton/Lynmouth for the week and just getting into bass fishing...
Only indirectly as I last fished there 25 years ago. 1. Before you go consult WSF, Facebook, RUclips. 2. When your there befriend a local angler 3. Live bait or match the bait fish you see in the water. I’d avoid the deep deep Rock marks and look for some tidal movements! Have some heavier weighted sandeel type shads maybe
@@SaltwaterAngler Great! Thanks for the advice particularly with the 'deep' areas 👌 I'm using lures so will try match according to bait fish.. Cheers
Great photogrqphy and editing Matt, so here's the question, what's the difference between a prawn and a shrimp? (Sounds like a joke but it isn't, honest!)
Ha ha I can’t think of a funny answer…. Prawns more see through and click ! Shrimps dull ! You can tell
@@SaltwaterAngler the difference is about £1-50 in Tesco.🙂

Hi, great video, what brand is the reel? Thank you
Thanks , Shimano 2500s for me me exage, Sedona and stradic
Is this a music channel or a fishing one
It’s just a music one
where you fishing ? please let me know
Some of these venues are hidden to protect them . Occasionally netting could follow us anglers so to be respectful I don’t show the marks where decent size bass are caught.
We get 1000 of shrimp coming out of the pipes leading up into the sea
Never thought about using that app …. Whereabouts roughly was this …
Just using random locations on the app.
Was the ray at the start of the video in Labour?
Male claspers I think
Nah, the Green party! 😁😁
