Been lure fishing for Bass for two seasons now, I have caught ZERO fish. I have a half decent rod, reel, line and selection of lures (many £ spent). My good lady decided she'd like to join me in my new hobby this year so we ordered her a temu special rod /reel combo, set her up with decent line and a lure from my box (SG pop walker 19g I think in green/blue) and we headed off to my favourite and well researched (for a newbie) mark. Within 20 minutes of me teaching her to walk the dog she had herself a lovely little bass. NONE of what people tell you will or won't work matters, it's exactly as you say, on the day, if you do it right then they'll bite. I missed 3 bites that day by being to fast and walking the lure out of the bite. Was still a wonderful afternoon spent by the sea with my best friend. That said, I'm definitely jealous as hell that she caught on her first trip and I still blank to this day but that's just fishing :)
This is an awesome little story and proves the theory. You said it yourself, you may have blanked in that session but you learned from it, " you walked the lure out of their mouth" . Bet you won't do that again! Blank sessions are learning sessions! Well done to the good lady for landing a bass but to be honest I may have been a little jealous too 🤣
Sorry but you just did not put the lure in the right place and right depth ! I fly fished for bass with floating line .. had so many follows but no takes ! Sinking line where yhe fly was just over there head made there predator instinct work ! Same with lures! Keep trying and I would suggest of you think there are fish where you are put your lures above there head !
Some great advice Wayne,it's all about trying different things and what turns them on,even keeping a basic record of were and how you fished,it's building up your own knowledge and not listening to everyone else.
@Anglingaddict75 yeah I've got 2 boxes of different shads etc and only been used once, had a go on the barbel in December. Plus really like trotting too for chub etc. Went christchurch harbour on lure last summer and had 2 sea trout( both returned) on lures which was amazing. Will definitely give the perch etc a go in next few weeks though and see what happens. Oh and grayling on the frome etc as it's on my bucket list.
@darreneastwell3318 the chub are still eluding me, perch was a target this year but chub seem more of a challenge. I had a few pike at the weekend which was good 👍 that video is incoming 😁
Very true especially getting out and fish with your kit and lures. I went over to lrf and learned so much it was unbelievable, my lure game is much better for it
Before I started lure fishing for bass and other fish, I always thought or didn't even think really, that it was about casting a lure out in to a body of water and just winding in. As I've gained more experience I think I pay attention to details more and you are right in what you say, that blanks are important, blanks can be another piece of the puzzle solved. Lure fishing is great because you can just chuck it out and chance it and win, but you can also strategise and theorise on many levels :) Its all good fun and people who don't fish will never understand the addiction!
This is awesome and exactly what the addiction of lure fishing is about. Having fun and moving all the pieces of the puzzle around until they fit or at least almost fit and then trying another way!
Never get stuck in a rut, change it up is my best advice. Poppers can work 1 time, but not the next, same with soft plastics and metals. Change your retrieval speed all the time during any session, and throw in a few twitches and pauses. Just because you caught a fish on a certain colour lure 1 day, doesn't mean it will work every time, the same lure in a different colour can make all the difference. If you aren't having any joy in 1 spot then move 50 yards and try again. And finally, the fish won't always be at your chosen mark, so don't lose faith and persevere. You may blank a lot of times before before you find the fish, but when you do find them, there is no better sight or feeling than having a nice fish hit your lure
Wayne , its about getting your lure infront off the fish and gettng the predator instinct to take over! Bass are predators they will sit on the bottom and attack like a great white shark would ! If your fushing in 10 ft off water you want your lure working between 8ft and 9 ft ! Unless bass are on a fishing frenzy and chasing a ball off bait fish . There not normally near the surface. I belive Colour off lure makes a difference but not as much as the depth your fishing the lure . Also best lure fishing is in choppy water ! Stired up and the fish come close in .
Don't know if you have watched The line laboratory on RUclips, Now there's some myths around Braid, I think they've tested over 200 braided Lines in the laboratory properly, Well worth watching, I bet the tackle trade doesn't want you to see this, And my conclusion after watching it, Buy cheaper braid change it more often, Seaknight Manster W8 Braid £10 for 500m or Sufix 131 £46 for 150m.They've tested both in the laboratory and the seaknight came out on top.
@@Anglingaddict75 I would gladly pay a £100 for a spool of line if I thought it was 10 times better, But that's only my opinion, I really do think we are been ripped off, There's another good video on there and it's comparing old line which has being on a reel for 12 months, two what they had left on the spool very interesting what happens to the braid,( Is used line weaker than new line,) But they are only my conclusions.
Never heard anyone say any of these myths, never . Especially no. 1 of a certain retrieval speed . This video was just about babbling cause your not catching to make videos 😂

All you need is the fish to be where your fishing.But it's finding where the fish are . That's the secret to successful bass fishing.
Along.with putting everything into practice, your golden!
Lure fishing is definitely an apprenticeship , learning every time u get out
100%
I remember the first flounder on a lure I was amazed, that’s going back 30years back. Still lure fishing and fly fishing.
There is a HUGE misconception that bass are the only fish that will take a lure, holds so many people back I think.
Some fantastic advice there Wayne 👌🐟🎣
Oops I forgot to say I love your enthusiasm too 💪
@kevinbuckler1085 very much appreciated 👏
Great video Wayne, totally agree with all your comments. Get out there and tight lines everyone 🎣
Some great advice Wayne,it's all about trying different things and what turns them on,even keeping a basic record of were and how you fished,it's building up your own knowledge and not listening to everyone else.
Your not wrong there. What works for some might not work for others.
Writing things down is a brilliant way to keep on top of things.
Great video.
I decided to employ lures on the North Cumbrian coast. People suggested it was a waste of time….but! Oh no it’s working out.
Welcome to the addiction 😎 No matter where you are, and fish will take a lure, no doubt!
Glad your proving them wrong, KEEP AT IT!
Love it! Get out there, Stay Happy!
# 1 rule in lure fishing..... just get out there!
Brilliant video as always. Would love to get out and do more, but miles from coast. When I do it's new forest / Bournemouth areas.
Thank you!
What about freshwater predators?
Pike, perch etc

Even if you don't catch, knowing your kit is half the battle!
Well done Wayne 👏
Spot on content,water time you won't catch them if you ain't putting in hrs and miles,😉

@@RichardDavidGodfrey I haven't seen it but will give it a watch.
There's got to be a reason why you can pay £10 for 500m?

Go fishing go go fishing 😅
