Plug Fishing for Bass from the Rocks – Great Conditions but Hard Fishing

Shore rock fishing in the video below. Sometimes when you go shore lure fishing for Bass, you think you have all the right conditions such as an onshore wind, a lively sea, a good spring tide, and an overcast day. Unfortunately, even the best conditions do not always produce the best fishing and can disappoint. This was one of those trips where everything seemed to be in my favour and although I did catch a small Bass, which was great I expected the fishing to be better. However, that said it is always great to be by the water fishing and always great to at least catch something.

I am using plugs and because of the lively conditions using the IMA Hound Glide and an IMA Hound Glide copy. These plugs are great for these conditions because they cast so brilliantly into a wind and dig in well when retrieving therefore, are able to cope with the choppy sea. Part of the video shows some slow motion footage casting of this plug into the wind. As mentioned early in the video the sea is lively/choppy but OK to fish with a steady choppy sea and no big swells. I know this mark very well and what is fishable or not fishable in safety and do not fish this mark or any other rock mark when I consider the conditions are dangerous.
