Land based lure fishing adventures is a channel dedicated to my passion for traveling the world solo targeting predatory fish from Tuna, Sea Bass, GTs, Striper, Bluefish, Jacks and many more!
Hello! I’m Portuguese and I love saltwater fishing, spinning or surfcasting. I usually fish in Torreira, Furadouro or S. Jacinto, in sandy beaches. I did not know Samson gear and I’m fascinated. I’m curious about the travel rod “Todos” and those amasing lures. I’d love to see some videos of sandy beaches expeditions so I could learn which is the best choices for those terrains. Didn’t you ever tried this kind of beaches in Portugal? Thank for sharing! Pedro
I have caught bass many bass over the years from beaches and there is some footage on one or two videos. Spinning from the beach can be very good. I generally prefer the rocks! The best lure for the beaches is probably the Enticer Minnow! You need long casting lures and the Enticer Minnow and Todos are a great combo! Good luck!
Beautiful fish. What lure was that on ? And did the lure you used have the original factory shop hooks ? Or did you swap them for BKK hooks or similar? Catch of a lifetime ...
18:00 that's a false albacore. they generally fight harder than the bonito. some of the fast inshore fish in the world, though mostly they're caught offshore and further south. around the world they're called "macktuna" and i think they're the same species. in warmer water they get fairly big. you tell them apart by the patterns, bonito have lines and albies have dots and swirls. the bonito also have teeth.
thats very interesting thanks! I knew albies were a possibility, as people were hoping to catch one! I wasnt sure of the differences so thanks for that! yes they certainly fight hard
hey bud. target the bass through dawn. start out slower and subsurface and once the sun produces light move over to topwater. i use spooks and pencils but you have a lot of plugs in your offering that would work. enticer, bomb, and shad would al work very well. might not be totally optimal for filming but you can get some good light if there aren't many clouds, and the fish of a lifetime if you get some luck. unfortunately the best fishing for bass in the daytime will be the conditions which are the worst for filming. heavy rain and wind in your face. new england is famous this time of year for multiple bait offerings at once. the spearing or silversides and juvenile sandeels, bay anchovies and otherwise smaller baits will be pressed up and hiding in the structure based on wind direction. they're truly at the whim of the wind and tide. larger baits have some autonomy regarding where htey end up in the wind and usually school tighter in balls off of the structure, feeding on the tiny aforementioned bait. the big gamefish stage under the groups of larger bait, adult bunker, mackerel, adult herring, and adult sandeels, being the big four that you see most often. herring run into the rivers in the spring, bunker and mackerel enter the rivers after that, and sandeels are born there. you can run your lightest tackle once hte sun comes up and burn in tins on the surface and have the time of your life on those bonito, and our favorite "albies" or false albacore. 40 mph runs from shore, getting damn near spooled by a 5 lb fish, nothing like it. another option is to move to groundfishing when the sun comes up. the gamefish generally will stop blitzing around mid morning and that's when i put on a jig or a live crab and fish the bottom. most of the bottom fish are sustainable and taste good. tautog, black seabass, scup, etc. great for catch and cook. blues are kind of bleh eating and stripers are too pressured to be taking home to the table this year in my opinion. good luck be safe, welcome to new england, and have some fun my friend. edit: those are what we call "chub macks." member of the mackerel family. good eating, decent fight on light tackle. giant blues will be on schools of those mackerel. they'll bite the tails off and the big bass will swallow the head if they're still feeding during the day.
thanks, I did fish at night and caught some striper. I was at the same area a few years back and had over 200 striper in a few days, was really fun fishing. I had some friends there I fished with this trip and it was quiet for Striper, after i left was a big storm and then they had some great Striper fishing! Shame I missed that but next time hopefully!
Great video, although those seals are a nightmare! In part one you said you took the final prototype of the Expanse Travel, just curious to know how you got on with it? Did it cope well with the blues and bonito? Looking at it for my holidays to the Canaries targeting bonito and barracudas, so hoping it will fit the bill.
Thanks! It would certainly cope withe the blues and Bonito as we deadlifted 3 kilo with it which is a lot for a light 12ft rod. It wouldnt have coped with the seal like the todos did! Ideal for casting lighter lures. I was casting 70g Enticer Minnows for much of the time to cover ground so ended up using the Todos which was brilliant! Will be using the Expanse travel a lot this summer!
So im just playing a seal at the moment lol ffs. If that's not testament to a decent rod i don't know what is ,amazing. That travel rod chucks a lure 100 meters like its nothing I can't wait to move to portugal and pull the trigger on some of this kit.
@@lurefishingfromtheshore-gr8270 Brilliant Grant. On a side note when you get a chance grab a mike that cuts down on wind noise. keep the vids rollin Mr.
you're in their home and should act accordingly. big female grey seals are 3-400 lbs. the males are 6-800 lbs and we should all be thankful they don't put us on the menu. even the harbor seals can be 300++ lbs. anyway, they won't stick around at a spot like that. there's current and jetties are designed so seals cannot use them as spots to haul out and rest. they generally use natural rocky bars and poorly designed manmade structures. around those spots you'll find very little respite from seals and you should move. if there are multiple individuals in the area like he's fishing now you'll need to move. otherwise just wait a spell and they will be gone. again, this is their home, they are hunting for food and we're doing it for sport, and they've got teeth bigger than your dog and they're friendly with us. we should be humble, share the ocean, and get good.
The big Rooster that had you Swimming is still my favourite of all your uploads,, a tremendous battle and such a magnificent catch,,,the todos is still catching me bass with the bomb and the Shad the top 2 lures as always best wishes from Cornwall 🎣🎣🎣
love watching your videos buddy and you certainly have had some amazing fish and fished in some amazing places. places of dreams to someone like me…. well done buddy and well deserved ….. all the best to you and yours and be safe 👍😁🎣
Great video and cracking fish. I'd be interested in what you use for leaders also. Took the travel todos to Cape Verde and hooked into some very large Jacks but was let down by the leader. They chewed through 80lbs floro.
@lurefishingfromtheshore-gr8270 That's interesting. There was something very toothy out there. I borrowed a wire leader from another Angler and it got crimped and the plastic stripped from it on the next hit. Next time I will get it. 😄
Cracking video buddy and having the time of your life. .. I don’t do any sea fishing as I mainly fish rivers and streams in the north of England for pike , perch and trout but lure fishing is what I love …… watching your videos is just awesome ,, all the best to you and yours 🎣🎣😁😁👍👍
@@lurefishingfromtheshore-gr8270 yeah buddy they most certainly are but if I had the chance to do what you do, I would absolutely love it. Miles apart but doing what we love doing. Catching them Fish. 👍👍🎣🎣 all the best🎣🎣👍👍😁😁
Well done,I'd love to try your big lures in Ireland off the rocks in Co Clare, I hit porbeagle while reeling in Pollock mackerel and scad on light gear. A few summers ago, well I think it was porbeagle. No seals around
@@lurefishingfromtheshore-gr8270 I haven't seen any, but supposedly they have been seen outside Kilkee bay a few years ago. A diver told me a shoal passed through and were quite big around September I think. I know you need permission or something to catch them from boats. But I must find out what happens if you catch one from the shore. Although if one takes the lure off the top water, it's nobody's fault 🤣 I've seen what looked like porpoises moving out far loads of them then again it could have been tuna coming to the surface and going down again. I couldn't make out if it was whale like or fish.
Just found your channel i live in the far north of new zealand fish every weekend off the rocks dont use stick baits as such mosly live baits and a 10 inch zman pink soft bait for kings👍 i had a hook straighten years ago lost the kingi as well thats when it made me realise and other people who target big kings always take the hooks off and put on your own of preferred best brands and size 10ish i think👍 the top of north island land based for kings is awesome as to watched a lot of you tube shows👍 check out j.e wilds if you havnt already and also the lateral line top notch action on some episodes 😀
cheers, yes I know what you mean about the hooks. I got them from a shop that said the VMC assist was there strongest hook. Fortunately I took other Raptor hooks as the VMC was not strong enough. I was going to go north, it was just a time factor
@lurefishingfromtheshore-gr8270 yeah that's a bummer man about running out of time🙄 if you haven't look up the you tuber j.e wilds-3 day fishing and camping trip at big fish spot👍 its at top of the north island can be difficult to get it flat enough to fish being open to ruggerd west coast swells 🌊 alot of sharks are there to. Je wilds has alot of good content ,that clips just at one of the mecca land base areas in New zealand👍
I would say "kia ora and welcome to NZ" but you've already gone, I assume. Great persistence, and you got the reward you deserved. Fishing lures only off the rocks for kingies with no berley is a tough gig, and can be demoralising when you cast for hours without any result. Landing a good fish solo is a huge achievement, as so many things can go wrong. I take my hat off to you.
Brilliant result so pleased for you got your target capture, rewarded for your efforts.The terrain and rock access looked quite hairy at times, heart in mouth time, but captured beautifully for the screen.l love this sort of singular extreme terrain fishing, but my last couple trips lve suffered physically old age catching up sadly, Very well done again on your exploits.🎣🐟💪🏽😎👍🏻
