I thought the same thing when I first started using the lures, it just wasn't happening for me either. But I stuck at it, tried different lures, tried fishing different places and eventually after alot of hard work and effort I got my first Bass on the lure and I have been hooked (pardon the pun) ever since!
Stick at it and it will happen.......

Well done on the bass.
Some beaches fish quite well with a weak surf but there are others where you need a good surf to bring in the bass.
Persist with the lure fishing - especially next month and September - I had a lot of bass on lures in September last year.

I was like urself always bottom fishing and only started to spin last this year. Went on six sessions with no success, fished high and low tides. Same old story when u meet other lads fishing, had a great day yesterday and then ull hear the stories, but here perserverance will pay off and a bit of luck helps aswell but dont worry ur day will come u couldnt be spinning for bass at a better place, west waterford best of luck razor

nice bass man . you'll get one on the plug yet, just gotta keep at it

Lovely fish.
I tried lures 5 times last week and blanked. Perseverance is the name of the game by all accounts

Hi keep at the lures...caught my first bass on lures about a month and a half ago...have 12 the last month on lures.(more than i would bait fishing)..what a buzz love it...my advise is spend the money on quality lures...you'll be addicted..haven't bait fished since...hehe
I'm in west waterford too...
