Popular Post Davemc Posted July 27, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted July 27, 2021 Evening all I've not ventured west for a while but the weather forecast was too good to miss a trip today .... Tough start to the day in the main spot with just 1 lure caught wrasse . So I moved on after a few hours and managed 5 nice bass 55/60 in a quiet corner of the coast & christen the new reel too .

Andy135 Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 Good session Dave! And the VR50 looks very nice in black too. When did that arrive? Davemc 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't be certain where Dave's bass came from, but my very first lure caught bass from shore came from the rocks by the Portland light. That area is a well-known bass mark, so you could try trolling a lure at slow speed behind your boat (well, in your case just try it at speed 😉). Fish black minnows, redgills, sidewinders etc should all do the trick. Davemc 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Mike I cut my teeth on bass fishing at Kimmeridge many years ago , For many the Mecca of bass fishing , I rarely venture west these days unless the conditions look good as it's a long slog , your so lucky in that county as your surrounded by great marks .

mike farrants Posted August 12, 2021 Share Posted August 12, 2021 (edited) not sure my 5knt boat should be going round the bill - but i will try from the shore - chance of bass, wrasse or pollock from there!
