No fish?

Went to Mudeford this afternoon, managed 1 hour either side of HW.

Used ledger rig and a "tormenter" lure.

Used Squid as bait.

Fished the harbour entrance...huge tidal race both ways.

Caught loads of weeds and one crab.

Is this usual there??

I'm in salisbury...wher, oh where, within a 2 hour drive should I go for
bass??

You are in the right place for bass but the wrong time

fishes best dusk and dawn around the high tide

best baits at dusk are whole fish baits

at dawn lures work great (Dexter Wedge)

Float works well ( keeps the crabs off )

this is only my opinion from my experience

Always plenty of weed there

Not the best time. Try first/last light.

Used ledger rig and a "tormenter" lure.

Float near the surface, say a meter down. Don't knoe the tormentor but
lures are a good idea.

Used Squid as bait.

Anything cut to small-fish shape should do, then look inside the first fish
to get a better idea of what theyre taking. Might be small-fry or prawn
about now.

Fished the harbour entrance...huge tidal race both ways.

All such entrances fish best on a big spreing, preferably not with flooded
rivers though.

Mudeford's not a bad choice. In daylight you may be better off spinning
outside though.

Hth, cheerio,
