Bass surf fishing

I've seen alot of written about looking for cretain air pressures when fishing on western surf beachs for bass but not taken it all in. What should I be looking for on the weather reports. I presume on a weekend like this one with high pressure over the country and frosty conditions bass fishing is turned off and I should be looking for lows crossing the allantic to create surf.

there should be plenty of surf about this weekend but its a good solid ground swell not the surface chop you'd get in windy conditions.

dunno if this is good for fishing though ???

in general the lower the pressure, the higher the water and more likely hood of some wind to stir things up a bit

Hi

Here are two websites that will help you with surf condition prediction...

Although your best bet to to phone someone who lives near the sea and ask them " is it choppy out there yet!" Using surfers websites to figure out the conditions had a nice ironic twist of "revenge" to it....

:lol: :roll:

I was thinking more about the best conditions. My understanding is high pressure equals frost which means cold sand on a shallow beach. We have high pressure at the moment with frost but the air is still coming from the south making it milder. Its due to switch to the north to make it very cold.

With trying to get the time to fish and time involved in getting to a beach that will produce bass I want as much chance as possible in getting a few fish. The surf mark I fish is beside an estuary so with the river in spate through october due to non-stop rain stopped me from fishing there and I don't have any other consistent marks. That and my waders are still leaking
