trying for a bass on livebait 

Always a pleasure to watch you fish (and that was not the easiest of conditions). Thanks for posting.

Love getting bass on live bait, good job and keep up the great videos 👍🏻

Love the commentary throughout the video - especially seeing the bites develop on the rod tip

Great vid Matt. Got your whiting & the bass, well done. Really enjoyed it thanks

Thanks for the great upload Matt - lovely Bass! Looks a good venue. Stay safe & well! 👍😁

Great video Matt enjoyed that. Nice condition for live bait. Well done

Nice watch mate ,lovely looking bass to boot. Tight lines

Inspirational video. Must dust down my gear and get down the beach.

Well caught that man!!

Bit of food for thought for live baiting. I fish a normal paternoster style trace, small hook or hooks, with a bead above the swivel. While this is fishing I use a dedicated live bait rod to catch a wriggler. When the bait is caught I hook it onto a relatively short trace with a snap clip at the other end which is clipped onto the main line so it runs freely. The bead above the swivel stops tangles and the live bait trace is too short to tangle with the paternoster. When clipped on the bait can only swim down the line and does not suffer from being cast. Works a treat, just ignore the little fish hooked on the paternoster, they are for attraction, and wait for the rod to double over.

Nice fish congratulations to Dario from Roma Italy!!

Great video - enjoyed watching that and learnt some about live baiting for bass. I am just back from the beach having just blanked on the bass, but plenty of pouting to go around

I love your ch, respect and love from Turkey

Great vid Mat!

Great video. Very informative.. 🙂

Nice video mate, nice bass as well, I thinking myself for tomorrow where possible to go😁 good luck and keep going 👍👍👍

Looks like Your fishing Bexhill maybe? can't tell, Had An Awesome time down Dungeoness a few days Back, First time in A Few weeks Which I'm finally glad at, Specially with the Country going back into This three stage lockdown, Caught Various lengths of Dog, One Bass And I think A Ray, Though Can't be sure as It Slipped of the hook down at the Shoal,

Thanks for your support 👍 after nine blanks went back, four whiting, two flatties, to dreaded weavers, I'm on cloud nine, thanks, nearly gave it up, back out tomorrow, thanks again,👍👍👍

I had a 14 lb bass off bracklesham bay that had a huge pouting in it mouth of about 1/ half pounds in weight

We'll done matt

nice one ✔✔✔✔

Nice bit of fishing, good result with the live bait, nice bass, and you weren't holding the rod ?? one day it might be a good double !! and to coin an old c b fraze, Ding Dong I'm Gone , rod n' reel swimming. What would be good is, you were to divulge your fishing marks every once in a while :-) Cheers, Les.

I love the speedmaster

Daft question but whats the casting weight range on the bass rod? Assumed it would be quite small, ie below 50g like most bass rods but noticed you were using a 3oz weight? Just a gentle underarm cast rather than overarm to compensate for the weight? Thanks

We use a 'jif lemon' style float rig for live bait like mackerel and have had some fantastic success, my 14 year old daughter had one close to 5Lb last year (6 overall in an hour or so).

Great vid 👍🏻 going to give this a go ; what size hook is the treble you are using Thanks

Very informative video as usual, would the livebait rig works for pier or seawall fishing?

I have a question in regards to using whiting as live bait. Is there a size limit on how big it has to be? I know to keep whiting they need to be 11 inches but is it different to using them as live bait?

I was trying for a bass last night on a live bait, I’m determined to get one. 😉

Because I would love to win something because I’m trying to save up for some lures

have you got a vid on oiling and salting lug?

Hi mate quick question what would be the best way to spin a frozen sandeel? How would you present it and what type of trace? Do you use a small weight? And great video as always I'm slowly working my way through you're video's

Hi Matt, did you see the fish surface feed 6 minutes in the video.

Are bass rods good I'm thinking of getting one what would u get with a bass rod that you wont with a standard beachcaster

What rig were you using with the treble?

What size hooks were you using

Thanks for the great video.. which fishing rod you are using?

Could you recommend some saltwater fishing places near east London?

Nice one Matt. I'm counting the days until the move to Chesil. Please get in touch if you have time ? Planning a trip down very soon. FB me if best. Cheers Adam

Did the bass catch whiting ?

Hi mate. Why did you choose to use treble hooks this time? Are they better than normal hooks for this rig?

Ì had two speed masters. Both stolen from my garage. Excellent rugged reels. Fast and powerful. Replaced with two Abu 6500s. Good reels but not Speed masters! :-(

When will your next t giveaway be

Where was this filmed ??

When we were in Looe, the local anglers laughed when we said we were using worm. They said that we have zero chance of catching any of the thousands of schoolies that were right in front of us. They said either use live sand eel, or don’t catch, hahaaaa🤣😭😭😭💘🐟😛♥️

Are those earth worms?

First time I've seen your channel.... Minimum landing size.. Pouting 25cm... Whiting 27cm... in our area..anything smaller must be returned. ..You use 7-8in.. 18-20cm approx., For live bait.. Is it different minimum size were you fish ???.... I know min. Mackerel are different 20cm south... 30cm north.. our Bailiffs are red hot...No disrespect just asking, Enjoyed the film

you havnt said where you fishing ??

8 min of fishing for bait. less than 2 min. of fishing for bass.

Bass on a live bait my arse, the bass wasn't much bigger then the bait and as normal they didn't film it.

I'm not a fan on live baiting it's unfair on the fish bad for public perception and isn't teaching beginners good ethics
