Hi Guys, this is one of my first posts on the forum have been a member for a while but just haven't managed to get out lure fishing at all recently. Anyway am in the process of planning the year ahead with regards to getting some pretty serious lure fishing done. I have done a lot of bait fishing for bass over the last few tears and have built up a fairly comprehensive idea of where to put most of my effort in with the plugs. Loe bar has been very productive for me over the summer with live eel so I'm thinking that I'm gonna make this my number one port of call. The beach is very similar to chesil, its a steep pebble/gravel beach with a steep drop off. The surf tends to be more of a shore dump which can make lure fishing slightly harder. However last summer on several sessions I would turn up before dusk and walk the beach plugging as I went before settling into bait fishing for the night. It was a relatively successful ploy and I quite often landed two or three schoolies on the plugs before darkness, no biggies unfortunately although I had several 4lbers and two 5's on the baits during the nights. I tended to fish from the white cross towards the gunwalloe end.
To cut a long story short was wondering if anyone else here fishes the bar and whether they've had any kinda success, am thinking I'm gonna try and do a dawn and dusk session each week this year starting in late spring in order to try and break the famous double mark.
Also slightly worried about landing a bigger fish there on the plugs, its pretty dangerous going into the water down there. Whats the general idea with landing bigger fish on a steep beach with light tackle?
