At this time of year I love nothing more than hitting the shallow, muddy waters of the channel with light tackle in pursuit of bass.
This simple method for getting amongst the fish is great fun and really gets the adrenaline pumping when the fish are on the feed.
Unfortunately, getting the combination of fish and decent weather to align on the day is never easy and this video was shot on an especially damp and dreary afternoon.
Hopefully, it still stands up as an explanation of my preferred bass fishing method here on the upper Bristol Channel coast. If you like this one, there may well be another light tackle video in the future, hopefully under more pleasing weather conditions!
Brilliant videos, just love bass, hopefully soon I can relocate to the coast and the sign on my door will be ' GONE FISHIN '
Top man
following your journey is very exciting (mantap___from Indonesia)
Wonderful watch, thanks for the upload Jensen
Brilliant vid thank you! Would you also use braid on a surf beach, fishing the surf tables? Do you think bait runners are a good idea for the bass too?
Thanks. Spent a lot of my bass fishing free lining whenever I could with some great results tbh. Since moving down here it's been all walk back and chesil……………….will be nice to get the old daiwa bass rod and whisker carp rods out again…….love light line/low lead fishing…..even watching your line start moving away from you…..Exciting!
Hi there – interesting video……………..not a very inspiring question…………what reels are you using?? Sorry! Graham
Great vodeo, would just have liked a little bit more detail, weight, hook size braid & leader breaking strain, but still loved the video
Nice one Jansen, my kind of fishing for sure! Would really appreciate some information on the various types of waders, bootless, studs, durability, etc.
Wonderful when a Bass hits while holding the rod, worth all the effort to feel everything on braid, even the crabs ;(
Well done you! Nice fish & likewise to see them returned. Congrats!! ๐๐ป
Another excellent little video ,Jansen ,well done .lovely to see Bass
Lovely fish
Nice one!
Nicely done Jansen ๐ just like buses you wait for one to come then two come along at once ๐.
Cracking vid..I generally use a 6oz and whack it๐.. but Iโve given the wife the bass rod, so nice to get a couple of tips๐๐ป
Like the way you hook those peelers , thatโs something learnt
You are so right about light weight tackle , thank you great video Lloyd.,
Good job all round
A great selection of recent videos, which shows your knowledge and angling skill off very well. This bass one was spot on. In a moment of madness I sold my gear except for a bass rod and reel! The cod seasons seem to get worse and worse, so after 2006 i gave it up, but there is plenty more bass about these days. YouTube is great way to feed the passion – I might just rig up, thinking Mod might work for the same tactics as the river floods?
Top production Jansen, very clear and like the idea of being mobile. Though local knowledge vital as with most tides and exit routes. Your prep of that crab had me thinking about weedless style baiting.
Do you think they came on because of the dark? Thanks for sharing.
Fantastic video well done would love to go sea fishing for bass looks amazing if not a little cold haha
Awesome Jansen, I would never have believed light tackle could be used to such success on the channel. Every day's a school day for sure ๐
Excellent video. Nice couple of Bass. Enjoyed watching. Well done Jansen.
Jansen, enjoyable watching – delighted to see you returning the bass. Is crab essential as it is not easy to get hold off ? What size weight did you use ? Regards, Kevin
Whatโs your favorite bait of all time?
nice one jensen thumbs up buddy
Enjoyed watching thank you , please could you recommend what braid / lb for that type of fishing ?
Another great video Janse, showing how you do it so easily well done mate ๐๐
Does that spot produce many thornys? Looks ideal place to get tucked out of the wind . Nice vid makes a change to see some bass fishing in the BC๐ฃ๐ฃ๐
Awesome. Nothing better than bass fishing at close range. Thanks for sharing the experience !!!
That was another brilliant video! If you fancy some drone footage on one of your trips give me a shout:)
Another enjoyable video ๐keep them coming.
Great vids. Going to try the channel soon. Got a diawa tournament rod, 3 price fixed spool 14ft,no idea why their called tournament but their brilliant rods for the money.
Persistence paid-off, cracking bit of fishing. Well done!
