Nice one again! Your Videos help me a lot preparing for my seabass trip on the other side of the channel. Will be in Normandy in two weeks and i am constantly watching your stuff to get tips. Keep up the good work!
Great video man!.! I just recorded a bass fishing video for my channel and it’s cool to see how other people are doing!! I love watching your videos, keep up the good work!! 🎣🤝🎣
@@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!
@@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 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!
Just got a fly rod so looking at as many vids as possible and sea and flyfishing sounds great to me
@@marcs4563 it is good fun when it all comes together 😄

Can I ask where in the South Coast this is?
@@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.

@@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
Just had a little look on your channel Andy and I can’t see any content from yourself. Maybe you should share some and show us how you do it!
