 In today's video I will be kayak lure fishing for wrasse and bass and it's pissing with rain. I might actually take some fish home for the pot which I haven't done at all this year I don't think apart from uh those lovely tasty rimble ball trout. It's my favorite time of year to fish September but there's that I get that real sort of sense of urgency to get as many sessions in as I can because the nights are drawing in. Lush, jig for sanddills. Ian's kindly given me some sabiki feathers, tiny little size eights. They'll pick up mackerel as well of course and instead of using weight I want a shad on. I've never caught a sanddill. I've come to realize I am such a fair wedged kayak angler because for me this is quite big swell. This is nothing is it? What is it? One launch and two sanddills? I've caught nothing. I've only got a fish. I don't know what it is. Nothing big. Or a pouting. I'm going for a mackerel. And the way things have been this year I'm quite great. Oh I spoke too soon. I'm lucky. The way things have been this year I'm really grateful for mackerel. You can tell if a fish is fresh because they'll still have the iridescent shine to them. If you look at the eyeballs they're crystal clear. So we've had our fun going for sanddills. I didn't manage any or launch. It's obviously a knack to it but I've got plenty of mackerel which is fantastic. I'm going to try and catch some wrasse and bass now. I've just lost my fish lure tied on a new shock leader with an FG knot. I was just thinking for a second where the hell is Ian? Blimey you talk about the importance of having a radio. Why is it people always ask what's the cheapest handheld radio you can buy? Why would you want the cheapest for a safety device? I don't think I've mentioned this. This is an Mcom M91D. If you've got a DSC function it means you can send a satellite signal to your GPS location in an emergency situation. The advantage of that is because you've got a very short area for VHF and if you've got a bit chop and waves likely no one's going to hear you. Another thing that this has got is dual watch which means you can listen to channel 16 for emergency and also another channel if you want to listen to communications on channel 8 or channel 10. Last but not least it floats. I have to spost him. I'll turn the camera around see if you can spot him. I don't understand why they do boats in grey. How do you takes? I couldn't see you for love nor money. You are so camouflaged against that glib base. Oh well done. First blood to Ian. What feelings are going to get second, third and fourth as well? That is a nice one. Well played. Sweet. Look at that. Look at the colours on that. Absolutely nailed it. That is a nice fish. Do you want to weigh it? Can do if you've got some scales. 2.4 kilos. Whatever that is. Well that's about... That's a bit used to sending. You can change it to pounds. How do you do it? The pound and ounce button I think. There isn't a pound and ounce button at any rate. You can have your scales back. Old school rules. With the time he's figured that out I'm waiting. Hold. Hold. There you go. No, no, no. Go on. No, go on. You don't want to get those on rusty do you. Get out of here really. That's nice. Oh well played. Almost five. It is fat mind. There we go. That is fab. Awesome. Right. Well played. Let's see if it does go back. Yes. There we go. Straight back down. Good. Awesome. What did it feel like? What did it make you think of? I thought Peter from Mr Crabtree. Stay away from those rocks Peter. How desperate are you for your piss? I forgot all about it. Now I mentioned it. I've forgotten all about it. That's what fish does, doesn't it? Right. Wish me luck. All right. Having seen that, I can see why they use stout tackle. You don't want to give an inch. I'm not convinced LRF is the way to go for us to be honest. It swells well. Well, hurry. Give my pants a bit here actually. Polarized glasses really help you know because you can see the sand between the rocks. Well, that's the first take on instinct. Misty. I can see what you mean about having to hold your nerve because my instinct immediately was to go eh. No. No. See why Ian loses yours and it's just snaggy as hell. You shouldn't let develop. What are you using? Right. Surprised they're not spooked by the boat? Oh really? Okay. I'm so glad I didn't bring my light lure fishing gear. I'm using my Corum snapper. It's a 7 foot, 100 gram lure rod. Cheapest chips like broomstick just help get the wrasse out from under the rocks. I might as well get that whole hob. That's a Consom Cabo 15 and it's sealed. So it doesn't matter if a bit of spray gets on it. Fish on. Not as big as Ian's. I'm well pleased to have caught one. It's a relief. It didn't half pole. I thought it was the bottom. There you go. How about that? Beauty. Let's get him unhooked. I'll handle it because I've got spines. He's going to flip. Yep. And he got me. I always do. He's probably only a pound and a half probably. I'm well pleased. Fight like absolute demons. See ya. Another one in that time. Taking the piss, isn't he? Ian's in. You can see that. You can tell he's done this before, can't you? It's done to my poor lure. Apparently Ian super glues his nailed on the drop. That is nuts. Here we go. Into Ian's wrath hole. Is he done you? This is that one. I think Ian's had another three in the time it's taken me to get another leader on. This is the lure I lost. It's the Fish Minnow. It's one of the best known lures for bass but bass love them too. The reason why they're so popular, they are slightly more dear than other lures but that's for a reason. They're very good. They're weedless and also the hook inside is actually mounted on the back and it has side action but as most jigheads won't do that, well worth buying. They're quite difficult to get hold of at the moment. There's not many people who've got them in stock because they're stock shortages but I got mine from the Angling Centre in West Bay so I'll put the details in the description. Ian's into a bass. Is that sea bass? Sea bass. They're more difficult to catch, aren't they? What's happened to it's Finn? I don't know. It's a bit messed up. It's impecked. Yeah. Well done. Well played. Beautiful. Yeah, beautiful. Gasmic. Seras. Really bad fish envy here. Fish envy. It's not good. It's a jealousy. Such a bad trait. Ian's into another fish. Good and by the looks of it. I don't know what to film. Because right here look, I'm spinning around this way. Oh wow. Yeah. I thought it was huge but it's a massive lump of weed. That's still a nice fish though. Yes. Yes. Never mind Ian's fish because I've actually finally managed to catch a second. Bass. No bass. I'll settle for that. They don't half scrap. They're pucker. Pucker mate. Pucker. You're a big noddy. Didn't think I was going to catch anything after seeing that seal that Ian pointed out. Just his head popped up. Isn't that rastastic. They're like wild boar. All right, I'm going to go back. I want another one. One more.
