Ed Schliffke catches sea bass like it’s going out of fashion. He used to catch bass and sell them to Rick Stein but now he’s 100% catch and release. Ed is one of fishing’s big characters. Watch and enjoy.

Still far more interesting then anything I can find. Top man,
Low tide, broad daylight, flat sea, sun shining…and the bugger is still pulling out bass like he’s picking bogies out his nose.
I fished with ed at Daymer. Brilliant guy. True character and a legend. This guy KNOWS how to fish …and he's great fun (and bloody tall too)
I bought one of his signature Rock Hopper bass plugger a few years ago and snapped it today.Bugger.
My tight lines are always snags.
When I'm lucky it's a pollack that made it to safety in the rocks.
Bloody bewdy me ansums
Love the enthusiasm,reminds me of my mate who passed away,he was Cornish as they come too and the very definition of fishing mad — lived for it.
Does anyone where about in Cornwall he was? I’ve got a couple of holidays in and around New Polzeath which seems to better known for surfing than fishing or am I wrong? Any help would be appreciated.
What a legend! Watch that slippy seaweed.
Great video, where about is this location in Cornwall mate?
Legend
Love Ed's videos but what I would like to know is does he ever fish BAIT for big bass – by which I mean 5 – 10 lbs?
Size doesn’t matter..big n small we love um all..but consistently talks about catching a bigger one!!
A Rapala J11?
He has his hair from aliexpress
Can’t beat a bit of edd .. we love rock fishing
Anyone know the conditions for plugging for bass?
He seems like an absolutely top top bloke, and respectful skilled angler to boot!! Catch and release all the way.
Loved the video, keep having fun dude.
Good man.
hi ed, do you close the barbs down on your trebles ?
J13 rapala .. deadly !!
I have plugged ilfracombe rocks for two years on the trot and never caught 1 bass, fast retrieve slow retrieve iv tried it all 200£ on lures nothing……
Brilliunt init, brilliunt.
Perhaps if you did not reel as fast as a Lamborghini you may catch more fish.
HaHa i know the area well, and i have caught a lot bigger there, proper dodgy ground, not for the faint hearted.
Hi Ed you make rock hopping look easy. That was a great fishing video nice fish.
When Will you be making a new DVD? I have all the rock hopping videos/DVD and find them very helpful and good to watch. When's the next one going to be?
Great video
Brilliant.
All my life this guy has been around. Always in and out of the Sea Angler Magazine ,How can anybody possibly not like him, so happy, so enthusiastic- He loves it
You gotta love Ed Schliffke….
Did you know that Eds hair is made from the same material that they made the Dulux dog from? True story
Nice mullet dude and im not talking fish he hee
It looks to me to be the Rapala J11 or J13 blue and Silver? Ed would probably agree with me that it is one of the classic plugs. I took ten bass in twenty minuets form the shore at Clovelly ion North Devon. They are good off wrecks taking bass for the Ninrod SA to fourteen pounds and another good lure to have is the Rapala in black and silver as this is has sometimes got the edge. Hope this is of some use to you.
Einstein is fishing!
what sort of lure are you using Ed? Some were using tobys but you're using a different one. Nice video!
Henry Gilbey is a twat………Ed is a fucking legend. Long live the rockhopper
