Epic Days Bass Fishing 

Thanks very much for the kind feedback. We try our best to pack our videos with info and we are glad you are getting something out of them 👍🏼

Thanks Adam 👍🏼🎣

Thanks Stephen. We’ll keep them coming 👍🏼

We had boulders between us and the fish - no way of beaching it. Jason had small hooks on and one was in the bass via a sliver of skin on the lip. Tension was never lost. A net would have done it. Plus Jason made a meal out of it

@@BanditFishingUK it's one of those times you have to sacrifice a spine in the finger or a cut from the gills lol. A firm grip on the shoulders is my go to. I had to do it for Tom on the recent bass he's been catching. Even if the rod looks bent the line between your hand and the fish will have lost tension when the fish is thrashing. Usually the tip absorbes that keeping it pinned. It happens though and luckily there was still plenty of fish to be had. Still a great day on the bank.

Thanks for watching John 🎣

Thanks Mark 🎣

Thanks for watching 🎣

Thanks Leighton. We do our best 👍🏼

@@BanditFishingUK really enjoyed them all boys fair play you have inspired me to get back out 👍

Cheers Richard. We all lose fish from time to time sadly 👍🏼🎣

Thanks a lot Anthony. It was great to catch some fish after a slightly slow period

Cheers mate 🎣

Cheers Del 🎣

Thanks for watching again Mark. Looks like you’ve watched a couple today. Thank you very much.

Thanks for watching 👍🏼🎣

@@BanditFishingUK really made me want to go bass fishing!! I shall dream of bass tonight haha

Thanks Stephen!

Thanks Brent. We’ll do our best 🎣

I almost bought a net literally the day before this session. That fish was 6lb at least. We are still upset about it swimming away without a photo! We live and learn

Cheers Chris. We are glad you enjoyed it 👍🏼🎣

Thank you Kris!

Thanks for watching 👍🏼

Thanks Andy!

Thanks for watching as always Keith

Thanks Toni 👍🏼🎣

Yeah it’s for the smaller tides for sure. The walk back up is a real lung buster!

Yeah Jason taught me a lesson on this session. He’s been on fire lately. Thanks for watching!

Thanks for watching mate!

Cheers Liz!

We are very lucky to have such wonderful marks pretty local to us. Cheers Tomos

@@BanditFishingUK very true!

Cheers Dave 👍🏼

Spot on, that’s a good method for being accurate. The other way is to simply use the line clip on the reel spool. In this situation the channel was at Phil’s max range with the lighter rods and Jason was lined up perfectly with it so we didn’t need to but thanks for the great input 👍🏼🎣

Thanks for watching Gareth

Thanks again Stu 👍🏼

Thanks for tuning in again Johnny 👍🏼

There’s plenty to go around 😉🎣

Thais is near Llansteffan, Carmarthen Bay

Thanks for watching again Carl. It’s personal preference when casting whether you hang the bait from the grip wires or not. I guess it depends how long a snood you use. Phil used quite a short snood here so it was fine to cast with it hanging freely.

Thanks for watching 👍🏼🎣

We didn’t have much option but to go for the line sadly. I could see the hook was in by the thinnest bit of lip and Jason had a small hook on. We couldn’t beach the fish where it was because of the stones between us and it. It makes me a bit sick thinking about it still!

We will have a session with you both soon. Hopefully you can put us on some undies.

There are a few hounds and rays being caught around there so you should get in to some fish. Good luck and thanks for watching!

Thanks buddy, Sker can be full of surprises, had a small cod on squid there in June, 3 years ago 😮

The codling never seem to leave there. We’ve also caught them in summer on crab baits meant for hounds. It’s a fantastic place to fish 👍🏼

We plan on doing a few short rig demos in the near future. Watch this space 👍🏼

Cheers mate!

Thanks for subscribing and we are happy you liked it 🎣

This is in Carmarthen Bay 👍🏼

Near Llansteffan. As with other viewers who wanted the precise mark we haven’t shown it on purpose. It is a potentially dangerous place so we can’t encourage others to fish it. Of course if you decide to search through maps and risk it yourself that’s fine 👍🏼🎣

Yes this rig should work for hounds and other fish. The rig is just a running ledger with the extra swivel. Before the pulley came about it was one of the main rigs along with a paternoster. If you need to cast any sort of distance you might be better using a clipped rig such as a pulley as the running ledger is for close or medium range work. Thanks for watching David

@@BanditFishingUK gonna make a few of those rigs alright, distance casting not really required for the mark I’m thinking about and those detachable hook lengths come in handy Thanks for vid and reply 👍

Great stuff. Good luck with the hounds David 👍🏼

Cheers Gavin 👍🏼🎣

Jason used our standard gear which we generally use for combatting the very strong tides, rough ground and weed. Phil fished a lot lighter with 15lb mono mainline. Jason set the hook on most bites while Phil struggled with the lighter rod for some reason

This is Carmarthen bay, near Llansteffan

Hi Andrew. As in an earlier answer we deliberately didn’t say the exact location of this mark for good reason. It’s a very dangerous mark where you can (and will) get cut off by the tide. We were almost in deep trouble on this very day when the water came up unexpectedly high even on a smaller tide. There are plenty of safer estuary marks between the Gower and Pembrokeshire as I said earlier. I’m sorry it’s probably not the answer you wanted but we can’t encourage our viewers to fish somewhere they could get in trouble. Thanks for watching 👍🏼

@@BanditFishingUK Ok mate, no problem I understand. Enjoy all your vids.

Hi Dai, it’s a dangerous mark so don’t really want to disclose where it is. I hope you understand. The boys were almost caught out on this occasion fishing s tide that was too big.

I would like to know that also.

As you would have seen previously we are very open about the marks we fish. This time we have been deliberately vague. The reasons for this are that we were told about this mark by friends and more importantly it is a VERY DANGEROUS mark to fish. We almost got caught out on this very session when we had our backs against a cliff and feet in the water for a long time over high, even on a relatively small tide. We don’t want to encourage our viewers to endanger themselves so we’ve left the exact location out. Of course there will be other anglers out there who know the mark already or will find out but there are plenty of safer estuary marks from the Gower to Pembrokeshire where you will catch plenty of bass.

@@BanditFishingUK thats very fair lads..

@@BanditFishingUK I was just about to comment. Any locals will know that mark but last thing we want is every body descending on the place. So appreciate your consideration on this one. It is some thing to think about when putting public videos up of peoples local marks

We like to use 10lb shockleader per 1oz of lead 👍🏼

@@BanditFishingUK yeah I do the same, normally when bass fishing though I only use 3oz, 4 max leads and a gentle lob😁
