Hi Seth , I have never fished that way before but I would imagine to maximise your chances fish a beach at night with an onshore wind with crab, lug or rag I would imagine , IF there are Bass in the area you should catch . Hope this helps .

You could give Benone Strand a try or Downhill beach which is directly beside it.
Another good place is Whitepark Bay or even Castlerock beach.
Ballycastle beach might be worth a go too.
Try plugging for them (the rocks at castlerock) or bait fishing of the bottom using fresh lug worm or sandeel.
Your not that far from Carlingford Lough either which may be worth a try. At this time of year there can be good for Bass again plugging or bait fishing. If you fly fish even give that ago.
I don't fish for Bass much in our neck of the woods but those places above I know have produced Bass before and not that long ago either.
Good luck, hope this helps.
If all else fails, there's always Tesco's!! :lol:

BTW Seth welcome to the forum :lol:

asking for bass marks on your first visit normally is greeted with a deathly silence :wink:

the above places will produce bass but unless your lucky you'll need to fish them a brave few times to find out when the fish are around and feeding, meaning lots of blanks and time spent fishless on the beach, in all sorts of weather.
