So I'm planning my second shore session (took a break for years), the last time out I had a 2 hook flapper with rag at various distances which was getting doggies and sm pups, 2nd rod had a pulley rig and crab as far as I could cast and got smoothound.
I was getting stripped on the worm when darkness fell without any bites registering. What could I do different next time? Smaller hooks? Different bait/rig?
I'm happy to fish the pulley for the whole session in the hope of a bigger smoothie but I also have a 1up 1down rig which I'm told is good for the bass. If I was to fish this instead of the flapper after dark what bait would be best on it?
I'm fishing near Courtown by the way.
Thanks for the help.
