Seabass

Sea bass fishing with lures

Sea bass fishing is one of the most exciting forms of saltwater angling. Powerful strikes, explosive runs, and aggressive predators hunting in waves, harbours, and rocky areas make sea bass a true favourite among anglers. Successful sea bass fishing depends on using the right lures, strong hooks, and a controlled presentation. At Charlie’s Fishing, you’ll find a carefully selected collection of sea bass lures designed for consistent results in all coastal conditions.

When is the sea bass season

The sea bass season typically runs from spring through late autumn. From April and May onward, sea bass move closer to the coastline and begin actively feeding. The most productive months are usually May to October, with peak activity during summer and early autumn. Early mornings, late evenings, and tidal changes are key moments to trigger aggressive strikes.

Where to catch sea bass

Sea bass can be found along coastlines, sandy beaches, rocky shores, piers, harbours, and river mouths. They position themselves where current, waves, and structure concentrate baitfish. Fishing these areas with realistic lures and controlled retrieves greatly increases your chances of success.

Sea bass lures that really catch fish

Effective sea bass lures must withstand saltwater, current, and repeated hard strikes. Minnow-style hardbaits, softbaits, and topwater lures are among the most effective choices. Proven models include the BlueBlue Snecon 90S, BlueBlue Blooowin 80S and 110S, BlueBlue Gachipen 130, and multiple Fiiish Black Minnow combinations. These lures offer the perfect balance of flash, vibration, and natural swimming action.

BlueBlue lures for sea bass

BlueBlue lures are known for Japanese precision and flawless balance. Models like the Snecon, Blooowin, and Gachipen are designed to swim stable in heavy surf and strong current. Their sound profile, flash, and lifelike action make them highly effective in both clear and coloured water, earning the trust of experienced sea bass anglers across Europe.

Fiiish Black Minnow for sea bass

The Fiiish Black Minnow is one of the most popular softbaits for sea bass fishing. Its combination of a weighted jig head, realistic soft body, and concealed hook makes it ideal for fishing near rocks and structure. Versions such as the Black Minnow 105 and 120, available in Shore and Off Shore configurations, provide excellent control and natural presentation in challenging conditions.

Sea bass softbaits and jig techniques

Softbaits play a crucial role in modern sea bass fishing. Slow retrieves, subtle lifts, and pauses keep the lure in the strike zone longer and imitate injured prey. Combined with strong jig hooks like the BKK Hyperlatch Round Jig Hooks, anglers achieve reliable hook-ups even during powerful hits.

Strong hooks and leaders for sea bass

Sea bass have hard mouths and demand sharp, durable hooks. Our selection includes BKK Titan Rider hooks and BKK Hyperlatch jig hooks, engineered specifically for saltwater use. Paired with abrasion-resistant leaders, this setup provides confidence when fishing near rocks, mussel beds, and other rough structures.
