great read rich!!

dont worry mate im trying like you to get myself a decent sized bass and i cant find one anywhere!.. (although i must confess ive found several to 2lbs)

one day a big one will come along

just a question for the anglers further up the coast towards the solent


when using big baits in the surf do you :

A) pennel rig them? (if so 3/0 hooks?)

B) still use a shock leader? (i think using a shock leader maybe where im going wrong!)

Excellent read Rich, keep at it mate, you'll get a Bass eventually. Not had any Doggies from the shore this year myself !!!

[yes, but not always, 3/0 is a good size for whole squid / large sandeel or big macky baits . u need to make sure that sml hooks are not masked by large baits.

still till use a shock leader? (i think using a shock leader maybe where im going wrong!)

i do, although if fishing real close with just a gentle lob its not really nessacery but with one attached there's no hassle if i wish to change to distance casting, bare in mind that i mostly fish in darkness in daylight the thick leader may be putting them off

Hi

Baggie rich sounds like you were from up my way in brum (Baggies)

I will be working in exeter and plymouth from now and looking for some short sessions after work , I know budleigh and ladrum bay , Am i too late for lure fishing ???

I will not have all the gear with me as i cant fit it into the car , any suggestions - I will only have light spinning gear.
cheers
