Bass plugs/lures

#1 Post by bouncer965 »

new to the fishing and being trying to bag a bass for the last few weeks ........no success. I use a floating lure is this a good idea or is it best to use a lure that goes under the surface ????? Im gagging to put a bass on my catch list so would appreciate the help. Also what is the best way to work the lure, ive been pull, reel slack, pull, reel slack is this a good method to attract them or am i looking like a plonker lol
Catches for 2012: Pollock, Mackerel, Dogfish, Sea Trout, Ballen Wrasse

With all due respects gee, read the link I posted, there's no one here is gonna do it better than that repeated in this thread......It's the best possible response which is why no one bothered to top it.

Cheers,

If you are in a position to meet JH then do so. I met him some years back for a SWFF primer - proved to be an inspiration over a very fast and enjoyable four hours.

There are plenty of good bass fishers on this site too - Lumpy, Mac, Cortaz, Rockhopper to name a few - loadsa info there

best
