Any help with bass needed :cry:

#1 Post by Kevvv »

Hi, basically if been out on a few trips for bass with a friend of mine. Went last night and a few times before closed season with no luck. Basically I can't see what I'm doing wrong but am thinking I'm using the wrong spots. So far i have tried surface plugs, lures and ragworm with no luck :? . Any techniques or bass spots would be greatly appreciated

So far have tried a few spots around Red Rock, Sutton in Dublin and two spots at Dollymount. Not too sure of many other bass marks in Dublin.

head out some night when you reckon the conditions are right and bring all different types of bait. the beach i usually fish will only get Bass on razor, all other baits are pretty useless here for some reason and theres lug beds on the same beach. before i figured this out i was lobbing out big lugs, crab and rag with nothing working. all i bring now in razor unless i want to try for a few flatties. where your fishing might be a bit like this so trial and error might be the way to got for you. it took me about 6 or 7 months to get my first one but it was worth the wait so keep at it.
best of luck.

find a rocky mark with weed not too deep, that floods on on incoming tide...get up at early be there for first light 4-4.30am at the moment...
fish shallow diving plugs...look for bird/baitfish activity ....
I find the morning better than evening but your area may be different...
Good luck!
