How To Catch Bass On Surface Lures

Dave Barham travels to Pembrokeshire to target bass with surface lures, guided by Mat Rickard from Bass Fishing Wales. The pair ended up with 67 bass caught off the top in a single day, topped by a rather lively 7lb 3oz beauty!

Great vid guys, watched it a few times now. I believe your either on or very near that sandbank I've fished a lot over the last 15 years on my kayak! Some very large fish knocking bout there, any chance of another one from round there plz 👍🏻

*It's great caught caught a brown trout on the first cast. **enjoyable.fishing** recommend if it was a little smaller it would be more effective for different species*

Hi Dave - if you click on the video title it says 'Dave Barham travels to pembrokeshire to target bass with surface lures'. I don't want to sound too much of a smartass but neither is it the Dovey estuary(please don't specify the exact mark! Lol) Good video & good fishing!

Regarding the Comment about pausing the lure if the bass or any other fish follows the lure and stops you must pause the lure and most certainly not keep reeling in the lure! When we use lures we are trying to mimic a injured bait fish because bass are looking for injured bait fish it's much easier than trying to hit a fit moving shoal of bait fish.When you watch any bass dvd or anything on here you tube most of the time a bass will see the fish or lure chase it then turn it's head away then get the Sandeel of sprats at the 2nd go

Looks like some sweet action! I fish in Pembrokeshire a lot and the beach in the background looks very familiar, where abouts is this?

We're hopefully going back at the end of the month - this sort of fishing is totally addictive!

Whats that nanofill line like mate. I'v got power pro on my spin reels but i have just bought a new biomaster reel for pike. Was going to spool it with the nano instead of braid. Do u think its better.

Hi, Where were you in Pembrokeshire when this footage was taken. Thanks

[BlackCountryPiker]

Great video lads! I'm heading to freshwater east Pembrokeshire to do some lure fishing from the coast line. Any hints or tips would be greatly appreciated

[FishingtailsCoUk]

Nice days fishing Dave, but I don't agree with you stopping the lure. Just keep going. Don't strike, as long as you keep going and they don't prick themselves they will just keep hitting it until they are hooked.

Hi Dave, quailty fishing! Looking to upgrade my spinning reel, could you reccomend any at all please?

Kind regards Dan (iow)

[antoniosantos]

I tried nanofil ..I only surface fish big poppers I wrecked the nano in one session! I use 15lb mono always now. No advantage using anything else on top!

Guys, could I just say that for me one of the biggest attractions to the sport of sea fishing has been the peace & quiet and feeling at one with nature. Therefore I have to ask, what's with this crap sound track your using..? If I wanted to listen to some crap music then I would have searched for a crap music video, but I didn't, I searched for a fishing video & wish now that I hadn't bothered!!!

Remember you now have to let them all go. If you like to eat
bass then buy them from the people that are allowed to catch tons of them.
