Bass Lures For Estuary

[Deleted User 3977]

Hi,
I live near an estuary and I think there is bass there. It is very weedy and it has a lot of crustacians and small fish swimming aroung. What lures should I use there.
Any replies apperciated,

Most of my fishing is places like that - dont use anything expensive!

Surface or top water lures, anything that floats free if you get snagged, are my first choice. I remove the trebles and put on a single hook as an extra precaution -if there are also sea trout around, dont put on anything too big, they've smaller mouths. Soft plastics on jelly hooks are also fairly snag free.

After that, I'd buy a selection and see what the local fish fancy, it varies.

Have a read off the this topic from the lures forum, there's some good info there:

Try a few cheapies like German Spratts and Dexters Wedge, you may loose a few but they seem to work even if they are not in fashion at the moment.

wondering whether anyone has had any luck using lures in north dublin estuaries?

Liffey estuary back in August there was a 10 lb 7oz bass caught on a jointed minnow
