Really enjoyed this video. Makes a pleasant change to see a fisherman enjoying the surf environment and yes blanking. This is what happens in the real world, we all blank, learn the lessons and give it another go. So many videos are contrived and only post when fish are being caught. I have had the pleasure of surf fishing in Kerry and for safety reasons we fished the ebb particularly at night. Two things that I learnt where 1. It is never too rough for bass. My colleague caught a 9 pounder when we could barely stand up facing the wind. 2. The bass are often very close to the shore. We were bait fishing in the surf and I had a birds nest. Had about 60 yards of line left so that was my maximum range. Had 3 bass in 40 minutes and my two colleagues blanked fishing at about 100 yards. Fish the shallows before you start wading and once you have waded out try an occasional cast parallel to the shore. Finally, don’t forget the “old” lures. The Maria Chase BW is a brilliant shallow diver and casts a long way. In flatter conditions the Storm Jointed Thunderstick can be deadly. Regards, Kevin
Thank for watching Kevin it’s very much appreciated! I’m glad you enjoyed the video ! il hopefully be heading out soon to give it another blast matey. I think a session with a light ledgering rod and some worm might be good fun in the surf I havnt done it for ages so it will be something to look forward too! thanks again for taking the time to watch the video buddy tight lines !
Great video well done! And good safety advice on incoming tides filling channels behind you.. easy to forget when absorbed in the fishing .. tight lines 😊🎣👍
Glad you enjoyed it. i made another video whilst using trebles and the weed was just horrendous. it's usually good there when the weed is quite bad bud it's hard to fish that's the only problem. Thanks for watching1
Brilliant video after moving to Cornwall last year I’ve had to learn completely from scratch how to lure fish standing in surf most days I blank but like this video standing in the fizz get hits such a buzz likes and subbed
Thanks for the sub David and thanks for watching. You have some great fishing to look forward to in Cornwall. I’ll be putting together some more shore videos amongst the Kayak videos that I do so hopefully some more surf fishing and perhaps a bit of the fly gear too. I’m glad you enjoyed the video bud
Great video mate , I'm fairly new to lure fishing and not tried surf fishing yet , but definitely going to give it a go after watching the video, in Cornwall so plenty of beaches to work it all out Hopefully !!!!!
Absolutely not matey RE the license part. if your at St Clements you'll be in a nice area to fish for the bass. bring a lure rod and some surface lures as well if its your sort of thing you will definitely pick a few up. I will try and endeavour to do a beach video from there before you arrive matey.
Good video mate , rarely too rough for the Bass , they will feed in extremely heavy conditions , it's just fishing it is the problem. I find in the bigger surf the fish are normally closer in , so casting a distance is not essential . Keep it up , the season is just beginning ...
Thanks for the info bud it’s much appreciated. looking forward to more surf sessions. will have to try a session when it’s not as rough as well. Many thanks for watching and for the feedback. Tight lines
Nice video, I love your enthusiasm. Waist deep in the surf is an exciting and addictive place to be! I used to lure fish the north Cornwall storm beaches fairly regularly and found that a very specific set of conditions to be productive for the bigger bass. Fish an hour either side of low water. Still or gentle offshore wind, anything over .5m swell (.8 is perfect) and a long wave period, 12 seconds or more. More than 1.5m break way out so you need to look for the gullies and rips that cancel out some of the waves vigour(due care essential around the I rips). The long swell period usually means a powerful wave that has travelled a long way, these waves move a lot of sand as they stand up and impact on feeling the bottom (solid ocean swell waves break in 1.5x their height of water). The big bass patrol the clear water just outside this impact zone. Drop your lure 10/15 feet past this turbulence that is raising clouds of sand. Let it drop to the bottom then jerk it back to the surface. You should get 2 or 3 jerks in the clear water before the lure enters the turbulent zone where the smaller, more energetic fish are. If you can’t reach outside the breaking waves drop your lure into the lulls between the white water as sometimes the fish are attracted to the splash and the visibility increases as the sand settles.

Hi great to see a video from home , I moved off jersey a long time ago but I used to regularly surf/fish that area ,at both ends of that beach as you may well know there are a good few gullies that have produced for me , however tidal knowledge is a must
Thanks for checking out the video. I bet that you have had some good sessions on the beach there. I intend to try the other side of the beach in another video. Tight lines for your next trip if your heading out.
Having fished multiple s in different sizes and colors, ruclips.net/user/postUgkxCbNOWAGmn6nfbCbJDmasvBq7J38KZNw2 this is by far my favorite. One thing to be aware of is the sided willow blade. One side is silver and the other is the green/orange shown. This is not bad, just unconventional. In terms of fishing, I have found the lure works just fine without a tail like a craw or shad. That addition is up to you. Also, the hook part where you attach the swivel snap or tie the line is a problem on baits these days, since it's able to slide up and down. However this lure seems to be tight enough that that doesn't happen often, and you can solve it by putting a thin slice of medical tube over the hook before attaching the line. Like others have said, it's really magic on a good windy day.
Nice video,…..I’ve been using surface irons for along time … some are made of lead , some are made of steel and or pot metals the reason they were originally made of lead is that lead moves with the water movement and it moves the lead in a way that if it is to mimic a fish ….. it has a natural effect as a fish moves in the water ….

Hi bud thanks for checking out the video. Yeah il like the Abu gloves they are perfect for lure fishing. i had found that whilst using them on the kayak they dont take kindly to being wet and spending a lot of time paddling as the seem to very slowly fall apart. im now using Diawa lure gloves which i find a lot better and longer lasting.

Hey just subbed up came through a fb forum. Do you think ul be changing to the trebles after the hook up issues? Iv recently bought the same weighted nebula as ur using in this video in 9ft how do you get on with it? I’m kinda hoping it will cover all bases for me this year. Iv also just today ordered 6 surf seekers 😂 I’m up north so will out for my first lure session of the year within a couple of weeks and can’t wait
Hey Alex thanks for the sun buddy. I may ring one or two with trebles to try the issue on our surf beaches is there can be a lot of weed sometimes. I was thinking of adding another single on a split ring at the front as an assist hook will have to see how that goes. Youl be fine with the 12-42g nebula for most of your fishing I’d say. I was using the 7-35g nebula as my “go to rod” a couple of years ago but at 35g it limits the use of a bigger soft lure which I like to use from time to time. Best of luck for your trip out wen you go and thanks for checking out the video buddy. Tight lines
When using the weedless sandeel v2 can I just use a blood knot to attach the head to my main rod line, or do I need a swivel. Can't seem tk find any info online. Thank you. Cool vid btw
Hi mate it’s not essential but it is handy to have a lure clip at the end of your line. it makes it easy for quick changes between lures etc and also as it gives the lure more movement and action in the water as the lure can move slightly once clipped as opposed to being tied on. but if it’s easier for you to tie straight to your mainline then go for it, it just means if you want to change lure you’ll have to cut the knot and retire another lure on to the mainline or leader. personally since using braid and a leader I always use a lure clip but back in the day when I used to just fish with mainline 14lbs mono I would just tie straight on the end. hope that helps. best of luck for you next session too.
No I’ve never had an issue with them it’s only my opinion, they are designed to fish in the surf and wobble from side to side and spin on the stop,I just use a mini link enjoyed the video
I like those mini links I started to use them on my Kayak sessions and found them easy to change the lures over as the snap lure clips were a pain in the backside with wet freezing cold hands. The ones I ordered seem strong but quite small .. I should try find a bigger size. A few of my hard lures have split rings on the nose so it was hard with the mini link to get it on the split ring hence the snap clips. Thanks for watching bud
Hi there matey it’s a guy cotton smock available from veals bud there a link in my video description. it’s super comfortable! thanks for checking out the video bud
@@tdheaton306 if I’m totally honest mate I think it was a Christmas gift. Considering the price you’ve stated their I’d say that is a bit steep. But if all you do is surf fishing or fishing out in the elements I’d say it’s probably about right. I only really wear it out lure fishing if it’s a bit wet or nippy but it’s very comfy matey.
I haven’t used the weedless V2 sandeels that much but I do use the older savage gear sandeels on the older weedless jig heads that I believe may be dis continued but they worked very nicely so I think the V2 weedless will be good as well buddy
I used savage gear seeker jigs white and green ones many times. I couldnt catch even a fish so i dont think this is good lure. Is there anybody catched fish with savage gear seeker ? May be i m using wrong..
Hi mate I have used them from the rocks quite a lot and caught a few fish on them from the surf however I hav t had a single bass on them. I think that they will definitely work on the beach I have been fishing. I think it is more than likely when I have been fishing the beach the fish may not be there or feeding at the time. keep trying you will certainly catch with them.
iv still got the ones that came with the lures bud ..only issue is there’s usually quite a bit of weed in the surf down there so thought I’d be best with singles. After that session I’ll definitely be taking a few with trebles for the next session. Thanks for watching bud
Ah yes they are the SG lure clips, I usually just use a standard lure clip rather the the egg snaps. Although the seekers don’t spin I thought it might be worth while due to the surf. Have you had issues with them before bud? Are you using a clip at all or just tying straight onto your lure. Many thanks for feedback and for watching
really? have you ever watched what happens to a seeker when you stop reeling it? or have you ever seen the packet it comes in? it advertised 360 rotation? infact ive not seen to many lures that rotate better than it, fishing it with no swivel is asking to visit line twist city
@@FISHISLANDTV mate keep your swivel on unless you want mega line twist, ive been fishing seekers for years for sea-trout and if you pause the retrieve at all they are designed to start rotating on the drop (as feature thats used to induce bites from trout using the spin stop method) keep on using the swivels mate
yeah I have always thought that myself mate and often wondered how people do so well on them. I guess with the amount of weed in the water sometimes it makes sense to use them but for hook up value I agree it’s can’t or shouldn’t be more than a treble. Thanks for watching it’s much appreciated

Hi mate I have used them from the rocks quite a lot and caught a few fish on them from the surf however I hav t had a single bass on them. I think that they will definitely work on the beach I have been fishing. I think it is more than likely when I have been fishing the beach the fish may not be there or feeding at the time.
keep trying you will certainly catch with them.
Get that treble back on , the lures are designed for them
iv still got the ones that came with the lures bud ..only issue is there’s usually quite a bit of weed in the surf down there so thought I’d be best with singles.
After that session I’ll definitely be taking a few with trebles for the next session.
Thanks for watching bud
No, they are not designed specifically for trebles. The single hook catches just fine for me.
It's common for undersized fish to pull the hook, single or treble.

Thanks for watching 🤟😎
Assist hook needed
Assit hook on the surf seekers.. sounds interesting have you tried it before matey?
(apologies for late reply)

I noticed you had were using a swivel, on the front of your surf seeker, counter productive take it off, Toby lures yes surf seeker no.
Ah yes they are the SG lure clips, I usually just use a standard lure clip rather the the egg snaps.
Although the seekers don’t spin I thought it might be worth while due to the surf.
Have you had issues with them before bud? Are you using a clip at all or just tying straight onto your lure.
Many thanks for feedback and for watching
really? have you ever watched what happens to a seeker when you stop reeling it? or have you ever seen the packet it comes in? it advertised 360 rotation? infact ive not seen to many lures that rotate better than it, fishing it with no swivel is asking to visit line twist city
@@FISHISLANDTV mate keep your swivel on unless you want mega line twist, ive been fishing seekers for years for sea-trout and if you pause the retrieve at all they are designed to start rotating on the drop (as feature thats used to induce bites from trout using the spin stop method) keep on using the swivels mate
I always use a snap swivel to avoid line twist
Don't believe anyone that says a single hook gets more hookups than a treble, better for the fish for definite but bullshit on the hookup rate.
yeah I have always thought that myself mate and often wondered how people do so well on them.
I guess with the amount of weed in the water sometimes it makes sense to use them but for hook up value I agree it’s can’t or shouldn’t be more than a treble.
Thanks for watching it’s much appreciated
When you lose a fish speed up slightly but don’t rush to bring the lure in. Bass will attack it if it is still imitation of a fish
Nice one buddy il give that a try next time.
Thanks for watching!
