Where to fish for bass in mid September

[Stof]

I’m new to lure fishing and was wondering where is the best place to go looking for bass in mid September - south and southwest England - got some time on my hands so don’t mind a longish drive from London. Any advice greatly appreciated!

I would head for the coast in the south west especially after a southwest blow , stir the water up a bit

 

[Stof]

Thanks John!

It seems asking for bass lure marks is like asking for the Holy grail? Hope you find some fish Stof, sorry I can't help but I'm up in the NW. I would hope some of the southern lads have PM'd you with offers of help.....

 

[Stof]

? at least I know I need to head to the south west coast!!!

 

[Topwater]

Well the coast bit is definitely right ?

Chesil is pretty famous for bass lure I believe and the fleet behind it always has little ones in by the sounds of things. Have a search for chesil lure bassing sure something will come up .

Sea bass or bigmouth bass.?

 

[Valleyboy]

Most of Wales

Hi Stof! I'd love to offer you some advice as I'm in the Southwest, but I have some health issues which mean I can't get to a lot of the decent Bass marks that some of the other guys fish! I've only ever caught one schoolie, so by no means an expert! ??

Chesil beach or Southsea,or orford Ness are the 3 I would use mate tight lines for when you go mate

Hope you catch buddy, I`m Scotland so don`t know the marks for bass. What I would do is find out where @Minstrelblue is going and head somewhere at least 50 miles away. (forum joke, you will suss it soon enough)

Probably the closest productive area for you from London would be the Purbeck coast in Dorset. Grab an Ordnance Survey map of the area or trawl Google Earth for likely looking shallow rough terrain.

In the sea might help

My first choice would be Christchurch harbour, given where you are ,2nd choice would be Portsmouth harbour entrance by the round tower,and then Southampton water ,but not sure where to go there,hope this helps,leave some fish for me please ??,tight lines mate

Thanks all for your generous advice earlier in the month! I ended up heading down to Chesil Beach but after speaking to one of the locals on the conditions, tides etc I headed to Ferry Bridge behind the beach and I’m happy to say I’m no longer a bass virgin!
