Over the past month I have been fishing the south coast
mainly the Solent, Lepe, Calshot.
After many occasions I have caught absolutely nothing
and on most occasions I haven't even had a bite!!
What am I doing wrong?

No idea, what are you doing?

I've used various tackle and various baits but still
no luck.
Can anyone give me some advise.
Bass and Flounders seem to be the fish to go for
in this area.

Both are likely to take a moving bait - have you been spinning and
floatfishing?

Both will come into very shallow water on a rising tide if undisturbed, have
you been fishing the first two rodlengths out at dawn/dusk?

Both are likely to be chary of a large lead in daylight, have you been using
1oz (or less) of lead?

Cheerio,
