Bass fishing question

#1 Post by AndrewM »

Hi lads, I'm new to the shore fishing so please don't laugh at my question. I'm just wondering is it possible to catch the sea bass (on the bait ) off the beach during the day light or It's just a waist of time.

not impossible just slightly harder on some beaches there is a lot of school bass around at the moment so it is a good time to be bass fishing if your fishing has to be done during the day try pick a day with a lot of cloud forecast and a good breeze to put up a bit of surf up and be expecting every dog walker that passes to give you there advise and how they would be doing it different to how your doing it because they know everything about it even though they prob couldn tell the difference betwen a coali and a bass and before they leave there dog will be after peeing allover your box and more than likely try make off with your bait it drives me mad trying to fish during the day with the amount of know it alls and uncontrolled dogs so now i just dont bother i just sit it out till the darkness is creeping in or early in the morning is another great time to be on the beach fishing dusk and dawn are prob the best times to be bass fishing hope ya get a few soon its a great feeling to have a good bass session

if you are going during the day, go when there is an onshore wind and some surf running.i prefer 2 hours either side of low water, but different beaches vary.
