beach bass

Ive always wanted to catch a bass from the shore but have never got round to trying for one... I live in mayo so have access to loads of surf beaches.. what are the best tides and baits to fish at this time of the year? Does Lugworm Work for bass? I was also told that sandeel is very effective for bass.. Is it true about about the whole casting just beyond the thrid breaker story? will greatful of abit of hel;p

Lug's an excellent bait for Bass up here in Donegal, it out-fishes mackeral and rag.

i wonder does the same apply to mayo? i have to give it bash soon.. can you catch them on calm days from a beachor do you need a bit of surf?

abit of surf is always a good start, you cant go wrong with lug. you dont have to cast far, just vary the distance of your cast until you find them, if you are fishing two rods put one in close and the other out further until you find which one is producing the fish.
