I Tried Surf Fishing for Bass… And Now I’m Hooked!
I’m trying surf fishing for bass for the first time, learning how to fish rod-in-hand in the surf and target bass close to shore using fresh lugworm.
In this UK sea fishing session, I’ve been invited out by Philip, an experienced bass angler, to try a completely different style of fishing. Rather than casting out and putting the rods on the tripod, we’re fishing light tackle, holding the rods and keeping our baits right in the surf where the bass are feeding.
This was all completely new to me, so throughout the session I’m learning how to read the surf, where to position the bait, how to recognise the bites, strike properly and safely handle the bass we catch.
We started fishing around low water and followed the tide back up the beach as the light disappeared. What started as another new sea fishing technique for me quickly turned into one of the most enjoyable ways I’ve fished for bass so far.
That’s exactly what Blackbeards Fisherman is about — learning sea fishing from the beginning, trying new techniques, fishing new marks and learning from anglers willing to share their knowledge and experience along the way.
Hopefully, if you’re getting into surf fishing, bass fishing or UK shore fishing yourself, there’s something in this session that helps — even if it’s simply the confidence to get out there and try something new.
