You could try anchoring up somewhere and dunking a hunk of meat with a fish finder rig. I think the best times are 2 hours either side of slack high tide. Use a long leader - at least 20 inches, preferably flurocarbon. Use a good quality hook tied with a strong knot and hide it well.

Choices of bait could be 1) freshly-jigged squid (I wouldn't bother with the frozen stuff), 2) pogies, 3) mackeral, and 4) fresh sand eels (which should not be hard to find this time of year).

Try to position your bait where there is likely to be structure. This could be a hole/depression, the bottom of a rip, and/or near boulders. With the latter, bass will hide behind a boulder, facing the current, waiting for an easy meal to swim by.

Good luck...
