Re: ANTRIM Bass FISHING HELP.
most o the north coast marks will throw up bass, generally around low tide.

They are there but not a prolific as the south and south west coast, you'll have to put in some time and effort to get one.

As Immunecfg said the best way is to put in the hours, experiment with different baits- 6 years I have been chasing my first bass. Although my mates have caught them rite beside me.

Re: ANTRIM Bass FISHING HELP.
best bet this time of year for bass is any where from benone to portstewart beaches .now they may not be plentiful and you will have to put the time in,but you could get one any where along that coast line.take a mixture of baits so if the bass dont show you may take some other species with any luck.
