salty issues
Have any of you done much for sea species like bass mackeral etc with lures?
Im trying it this year and well Help please
got a good few six inch minnows storm shallow/big macs cheapo shakespere ones couple of walk the dog things
boomber a'salts
or am i better going smaller (loose the distance) or bigger slivers shallow raiders etc, i would imaginr that may cut down the potential for smaller species like mackeral
fairly local i have a good run of bass in the mersey and just up the coast at formby where a deepwater channel is usefull as you dont need a big chuck

I used to do a bit of sea fishing I had most of my bass on spun sand eels so try something in that pattern

Re: salty issues
Do they still make Rapala Sliver's? Suposed to be a sand eel coppy. Made off Odem wood if I remember rightly, why I have no idea.

they do ive got a couple of the largest size i kind of accidentaly bought them when i was buying my 1st few big lures as they looked good as an eel imitation and i think ive used them three maybe four times
usually when im putting the kettle on and im hoping that a take will not be forthcoming but am going to throw em at the bass in a few weeks

Re: salty issues
They seem to hold there money on eBay so I guess they must be half decent? Another that may be usefull is the old Windcheater minnow, cast like bullets, got to be good news fishing from the shore? There was a Bommer job too (finger mullet?) that lots of bass anglers used to rave about.

As I say all the ones I caught were on sand ells I didn’t know the joys of lure fishing in those days. I just know they love sand ells

Re: salty issues
ive got some bombers but the a'salts and all sinking
im just trying to use my pike/perch stuff to be honest and ive never really liked the rapalas or bombers the rapalas were to lightweight for want of a better word too easy to break and seeing as ive never even had a touch on a bomber that i own im thinking matbe i dont work them right which should'nt be hard to do with a crankbait
mm being thick just realised while im typing bass bullets and the eddystone plugs off to fleabay again

Re: salty issues
the joy of lures
sod all weight to cart around which is why im trying for them with lures instead of baits and for a couple of hours it should be fun

no chance of me ignoring anyone who can help thats more or less what i was thinking but any excuse for some new lures
theres a few things im thinging about like will the bouyancy be adversly affected by the sea?
easy to counter though what about corrosion?
do i keep it simple with a straight retrieve or play like i would for pike perch?
and a few others all simple things ive taken for granted but with the change of water has got me thinking again
