Bass Help

[jahajo]

Going away on the 31st to a place called lostock near gresford.

We are staying right on the lostock dam.

Have read some reports that there are bass there and wondering if any of the bass anglers could help me out on how and what to catch them with?

Will have a kayak and be using my bream/flattie outfit.

Any suggestions on plastics and hardbodies would be great!

Thanks

Hi Harry.

Depends on what the bass are feeding on when your there, try asking a local, & then use a lure that resembles that.

Best gear is a 1.5 -2.2m light tipped casting rod matched with a light thread line or bait caster reel spooled with 2-5k line.

During the day if bright use deep diving plugs as the bass stay deep during this time.

The most productive times are early morning & late afternoon & into the night. When a storm is approching is great. Jitterbugs,crazy crawlers & tiny torpedos all account for many bass. If you can find some bardi grubs along the bank then these are just about the best bait you can use.

Find a fallen tree, under cut bank, rock outcrop or a weed bed & you will find bass.

Have fun as they are a real adrenalin rush on light gear.
