when u say bass wedge ar you talking about a dexter???

[geejayy]

cheap copy without the fancy shiney crosshatch down 1side
more or less the same thing though.
77g casts well,

sounds alright! ive had all sorts on the dexter even a gurnard last year!
think ill try it baited with a macky strip at night maybe increase my chances?

i've caught a reasonable amount of bass at dusk and into the night on plugs, i generally use a dark rapala J-13 plug, pollack coloured at dusk and into the night. i've also had a few on the blue J-13 as well. if are into this try the bass anglers sportfishing society website they are pretty good on plugging pointers. i don't have the patience for it any more i prefer dead and live baiting for them, right under your toes!!! bring on April.

Would look at maybe using a plug with a rattle inside give them something to home in the dark or a good vibratory lure, or even surface poppers - works well for pike so should work for bass also??

I would give it a go on a reasonably calm night with a bit of moonlight then the plugs would be sillouhetted and easier for the fish to see. Poppers and walk the dog lures have got to be worth a try in calm conditions at night IMO.

As previously covered, Rapala J13 and topwater plugs like the Heddon Zara Spook are great. For night fishing, the darker the color, the better the silhouette against the moonlight. I had some science dude try to explain to me about ten years ago why that is but I don't remember the details...
