| Eastbourne Hi all. Im new to the site, and to sea fishing. I am interested in learning how to catch Bass in the Eastbourne area. If anyone can help, it would be much appreciated. I am an avid reader and have the John Darling book, but would like up to date lacal knowledge. By the way, i have been 3 times now, although not fishing for Bass, so have grasped some of the basics!!     |

| Re: Eastbourne sorry mate , not really my area,but there are many different ways to catch bass ie , plugging,spinning,flyfishing or just bottom fishing with worm or fish baits. i tend to fish big fish baits like squid or mackeral fillet on size 3/0 or 4/0 hooks in the colder months oct-mar then during the spring /summer i like to spin for them with wedges or plugs like rapalas or even try float fishing with sand eel or live prawn , hope this helps a bit mate ....kev __________________ obsessed is a word used by the lazy to describe the dedicated .. species hunt team winner 2005 and 2006..with old smoothy.. |

| Re: Eastbourne Havn't specifically targeted Bass in the past, but soon they will start to show in numbers, tend to catch mine in the Pevensy bay area aspecially when there is a good surf with a decent wind behind it. Will most prob do a bit of plugging down the hollywell side as soon as the may rot goes and the water clears up. Best so far is just a mere 3lb, that was fishing an Easterly, prevailing wind along here is south westerly, Apparently Bass don't mind Easterlies. |
