Catching a Bass for Dinner - No Time for Talking!

Another little extra catch and cook video. I try to catch a keeper Bass shore fishing in Cornwall and a great way to fish for them is float fishing with live prawns and a bubble float in shallow water. Since Mid July, I had caught shore fishing over 50 Bass and all were under the legal size limit of 42cm and returned. With the take limit of one Bass per day running out in a couple of weeks (Oct 31st 2019), I was keen to at least have one Bass for the table this year.

Shown in the video below I catch the Bass and back home, prepare and cook the fish using one of my favourite Sea Bass recipes. Bon Appétit!

Horse Mackerel – Catch, Prepare, Cook, and EAT!

Horse Mackerel are not considered by many in the UK as a good eating fish and mainly used as pot bait or fishing bait for other species. I have had people say you cannot eat Horse Mackerel and they are not good to eat however, I have enjoyed eating them for many years and they are enjoyed in the Mediterranean and North African countries therefore, most of the UK commercially caught Horse Mackerel are exported.

In the video below, I try to show that in fact they are good to eat and show how I prepare, cook, and enjoy them using a simple Horse Mackerel recipe. Bon Appétit!

Kayak Fishing - Targeting Autumn Mackerel and Squid

A combination of Mackerel fishing and Squid fishing in the video below and both are high on my list of favourites to eat. I set out on the kayak on an early autumn morning with a short weather window to see if I could catch some using sabiki’s feathers and a jig for the Mackerel and Squid jigs for the Squid. I was glad I made the effort before the bad weather returned.

The Quickest Simplest Way to Tie a Stand Off Loop Knot - Dropper loop

Loop fishing knots are very useful and in the video below, I show how to tie a very quick and very simple stand off loop knot using a surgeon’s end loop. This is a great alternative to using a dropper loop knot and in my opinion much easier to tie as just as effective.

Shore Fishing - Bass Fishing with Live Prawns and a Bubble Float

Float Fishing for Bass in Cornwall with live prawns and a bubble float in shallow water is my favourite way of catching Bass and it can be highly productive.

In the video below, I collect the prawns using a push net and have a great session catching several Bass. In addition to the fishing, I talk about the rig and tackle.
