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 8) and I have been hooked (pardon the pun) ever since!
Stick at it and it will happen....... :wink:

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.
