One of my favorits for sandy beaches is a banana head jig, white 1.5 oz, with a red culpert worm, or a piece of pork.

Personally, if there was only one bait or lure i could use to catch bass on sandy beaches it would be a big, fat, snake. without question the best thing to get a big bass's attention.

Eels or swimming plug. If there is a current of any kind I like to cast up current and let the eel swim/drift with the current . taking in the line as the eels drifts by me, then paying some line out once it gets by. Of course you have to be sure there are no other people fishing near by. If thats the case a good heave straight out and a VERY SLOW retrieve is key. Wait for the hit, wait for the pick up, set the hook.
Dont forget your plastics too. Sluggo, hogy. Pt jude wobble tubes.

Just last week on MV in Lobsterville area, took a buddy of mine who is a complete novice with three other friends who have been out with me at night. He won't eat or even touch the fish but he wanted to be out with the guys. He brings a chair out. I rigg an eel on a 7' tica and toss it out. I bring rod up to his chair and stick it into a rod holder and tell him to reel it in if it starts moving. One friend gets a small schoolie and a small blue on a small needle. Within minutes, while the rest of us are preparing to throw or are throwing plugs, his rod starts diving down. He asks "What do i do?". I tell him to first get out of the damn chair and reel it in. He does and the fight is on. He pulls in a 35", 15 pounder. I land it for him and we all have a great meal. The kicker is that two of my regular MV vacation fishing buddies have been going there for 15 years and have yet to catch a keeper, and one has never had even a schoolie. They instantly switch over to eels and nothing the rest of the night. The ribbing still hasn't ended.
