A few Bass have started to appear on our coast during the last few weeks, it was a windy day but the sea was relatively clear so an evening’s lure fishing for Bass was arranged. We arrived at our usual Bass mark 4 hours before high tide so we still had plenty of flood left to fish, most of the area is shallow scarr so shallow crankbaits were the order of the day.
The fishing was slow with nothing showing at all during the first 2 hours, however when the water reached a certain depth a few fish moved in. I had the first take of the session quite close in resulting in a nice little schollie of about 1.75lb, not to long after I hooked into a better fish from further out. It put up a spirited fight and a nice 3lber appeared through the surf, Bass really are beautiful fish and this one was in excellent condition. Quickly unhooked and slipped her back into the surf.

We continued fishing and I hooked into two more fish but unfortunately they slipped the hook half way in but I was happy with the two I had caught earlier. Matty had a few fish as well to 2.5lb or so on a shallow crankbait but he didn’t land any until after high tide, he also lost a few as well so we both had a relatively productive session so the climb back up the cliff seemed just that little bit easier 
Nice little Bass, result!
