Fishing on the Menai straits during the month of December for bass, a great time to go out especially on the bigger tides and the wind in the right direction (south westerly) on this particular day we had gusts of up to 50 mph that gave the sea a good stir up, so that meant we weren’t going to miss a great opportunity.With plenty of bass around during a storm, especially here in North Wales.
During a storm, bass often seek shelter near structures like rocks, or other underwater features. Target these areas where bass may be hiding for protection. Fishing an incoming tide is often productive for bass fishing. As the tide comes in, it can push baitfish and other prey closer to the shore, attracting bass looking for an easy meal. While incoming tides are generally best, outgoing tides can also be productive. Bass may move to shallower areas during storms, especially if there is a drop in barometric pressure.
