Malahide Bass

Tried Malahide on monday evening on the rocks in front of Gannon park for Bass (moving around to try different spots). I used a variety of different lures (tobies, plugs etc...) at different depths and different speeds. Conditions were good with a rising tide getting dark and a slight breeze but nothing showing. The guys beside me (on High Rock) were catching small pollock and doggies for fun - not sure what bait they were using. Two queries, (a) am i wasting my time trying to catch bass on lures in the area; and (b) if i try fishing for doggies, pollock etc, what baits work well in that area?

Pollock never seen one there people fish for smoothhound there and bass as well though iv never seen a bass there smoothies and bass to crab and rag if baiting found some lads fishing this mark will fill you full of shite to hope you never come back

Thanks Rory - might try a few marks around the area with bait next week.

Hard to fish a lot can be tackle graveyard use Google maps it will help have taken a good walk myself at high and low tide
