Hello Wizz, a very commonly used Bass lure is the Dexter Wedge

Its a fairly nice weighted lure so you can cast it well
I have no idea if it will be of success in your area though :?:

Cheers

I am guessing to some extent my friend but would imagine that there are plenty of sand eels in the G Yarmouth area from next month onward. In which case, bass will be looking for them. My own highly successful technique is to put a 6" or 4" rubber eel on a 12 - 15" trace with either a 1 oz or 1/2 oz lead ball in front of the swivel. I then cast across the channel with a ten foot lightweight rod (a big rod tires me out too quickly) usually around 100 yds and reel in with the usual motions. I have used this technique with good results in more than one location. Only one minor problem - can't be done in a very snaggy area because you lose too many eels to snags. You can do a very similar trick but with a bigger lead if boat fishing over wrecks - on one inshore wrecking trip a couple of years ago, the guy fishing with a rubber eel actually took more bass than the guys using live eels.

That's no good Mickey, he wants to know how to do it with lures. Anyway, we all know that Bass cruise along river banks looking for grub.

You could check out Dr. Mike Ladle's site. He is a leading authority on bass and includes quite a lot of stuff about lure fishing for bass, which he does a lot of. If you punch his name or " hooked on bass " into Google you should find it. Better still try this http://www.mikeladle.com/osa.html
