  1. Henry, thank you for all of this – informative, entertaining and gripping stuff!
    I’m new to bass angling after a year getting into lure fishing from rock marks up on the East coast of East Lothian and Borders, and regular trips up to Skye. I wonder, as I have a Danish pal who I showed your stuff too – he asked if you ever get hit by sea trout, as the tactics and ground seem similar?

    Ya as now if the content – I’m learning and counting down the days to my 4 day West Cork trip in late July.

    Regards,

  2. A great tutorial but after trying this method in the same ground on various venues I still havent hooked a bass. They just are not there, but I cant see why as the ground, weather and tide conditions are perfect, what am I doing wrong?

  3. When fishing these shallow reefs and fishing in waist deep water I find alot of the time the bass are already under your feet and In some cases Iv even cast back towards the shore. This is a great series 👍

  4. Very informative video. Yesterday had delivered same rod as you've been fishing with .
    I've had to say it's very very good rod and I know I'll love fish with .
    Thanks

  5. Henry after meeting you in Ardaire Spring angling expo earlier this year (black metal chat) I have decided to make the jump into bass fishing so I have ordered the SGS5 rod and reel and I am hoping to get stuck into some bass down here in Dungarvan. Hopefully I can hook one of these beautiful fish.

  6. Lip grip….should be outlawed. Can do so much damage to fish. Fish are designed to have their whole body weight suspended by water…not have all their body weight suspended by their lower jaw. Sadly, folk will see this video and think it is acceptable. Makes me wince.

  7. Henry! These videos have been fantastic and very informative.

    I have the sgs8 rod paired with sgs6 reel, it's like a wand!

    Landed my first bass using them this morning just over 3lb on the weedless sandeel v2 lemon candy! 🍋 🍬 🎣

  8. I lure fish for bass and yet the largest I’ve caught at just under 13lb was while I was Flounder fishing the Lougher estuary in Carmarthenshire.
    I also catch the larger fish in the spring and autumn, not the summer when there are loads of schoolies about.
