| Re: bass fishing advice needed i dont think there is many people who use this forum that can say they have had a specimen bass from the shore! they are very elusive and i have to agree with kev you need to be in the right place at the right time... somethings ive learnt that may help you... fish at first light or sunset as soon as the sun comes up over the horizon and is shining on the water it kills the fishing and the bass move on too deeper water. fish surf beaches after storms and dont be afraid to use big baits whole squid whole joey mackeral the mouth of a big bass is like a bucket and they will find no problems at all in swallowing such baits! __________________ fishing for fish is not as simple as you may think! |
