I want to go spinning for bass, and I've forgot when to, I think it's getting to late now, but I haven't been fishing with my father in ages, I have several good lures, I've had them for a while, and I've caught with them before, anyway for bass when is the best time to go? is it something like 1 hour after the tide is full out so all the fish are coming back to the estuary?
Fishing for bass?
- Thread starter walshy155
- Start date
an hour or so before high tide is good and you can fish through the slack tide as well, good luck matey
Usual advice I have read has been to fish an hour before and all the way up the rising tide up to an hour after. the Bass come in close to hunt the rocks and pools that hold the smaller bait as the tide rises. I am still new to this though, so don't take it as gospel.

Thanks for the replies, my father thought me alot about fishing, just I forgot it all, and many said he's a good fisherman. My father even used to use a multiplier for spinning, very hard, but when you get used to it, it's it brilliant.
Thanks guys!
Thanks guys!
I've known them simply as bass, they are just silver with spikes lol, anyway I don't think they are large mouth, I'm going fishing in Loughor estuary.
Btw I just look through my tackle bag, and I have a good condition Intrepid Sea Strek, they are from the 60's, I wonder if I'll get any money for it. If I try to sell it.
Well anyway can't wait to go, last time I caught I got a 3.3ib bass. On peeler crab.

Intrepid 'Sea Squeek' might get you 50p from a collector.The Intrepid factory was only down the road from me,they used to use a scrap metal merchant a few doors up.I remember coming across a huge load of alloy rod butts with a rubber/plastic handle attatched,they made amazing gaff handles

I've seen these reels being sold for £30+ in god condition, but mine is OK.
Really ? £30 !! I remember buying a brand new one when they first came out,what a row when you cast them..Years ahead of their time really with the magnetic control
Well I have one, I just put new 20ib line I had laying around in my bag, and it's a smooth reel, I will use it as my main reel, and use my spinning reel for spinning.
I'm having a go at the silver ones from the canoe this tuesday,spinning rod and plug,I need to put new line on the reel too.Just been to the cupboard and theres loads of hi-vis stuff but no neutral colours

I have bright red line, but I put invisline (or whatever it's called.) on.
Thanks. I thought the way the conversation was going that it was a saltwater fish.
This is the one I was talking about. It's the one BASS Pro Shops was founded over.

Good looking fish. How do they taste? And how are they normally cooked?
my favorite way of doing the bass, everso easy and really tasty

Thanks Robbi. It looks good. Now that I read your link, I recall seeing that one on "Good Eats." Also seeing it compared to Snapper, I wonder how it would be "blackened"?
