I've got a venue on the edge of an estuary where bass and mullet congregate on the ebb, it's very shallow sand for miles then at low there's a large snaggy mussel bed where I've seen bass lying in the holes as the tide retreats. This mussel bed only has 1-2ft of water in my casting range and the holes the bass lie in are 4 or 5 feet, and when I wade out I spook the bass (it's a hell of a long walk in waders too!)
The water is too shallow for most plugs, already broken my Zonk Getaride but it's OK with a Feed Shallow so I was wondering what other options I have. I've plenty of surface plugs but was hoping you gents would have ideas on what other extremely shallow swimming lures could work? There are thousands of mullet swimming around in a deeper pool nearby, and on bait you get plagued with mini whiting so I think they're the main food source rather than sandeels etc
I get the feeling rounded, subtle lures like the Z-Claw will be a killer here this year!
I'll post a few pics of the venue later
Any help, advice or ideas would be appreciated!
regards,
Rob
