You will need a small selection of plugs that cover the different levels of water depth - if you do a word search on here you will get quite a lot of information on good plugs, there was a survey carried out on the forum not too long ago - it is certainly worth it but you will have to be prepared to put some time in for success and be under no illusions of instant returns - I know there are one or two anglers that fish for bass up your way, one of them may PM you to put you on the right track, but many bass lads have put in many fruitless hours building up their knowledge so don't expect too much - one small piece of advise I can give you is that you don't need a surf to catch bass as many people believe - good luck and I hope you have a real go

You should be telling us if its any good having a go on your beach at Marske mate I live in Skinningrove and as far as I know Im the only one trying our local beach for bass on Plugs/lures etc Ive been trying for 3 years without success but I will be there again this summer Everywhere is worth a try BUT If you do any good are you going to go on the internet and tell Everyone? If you do people might come down and "Nail" all of your Fish??? Give It a go mate and Good Luck.

i have plugged for Bass at Redcar ( Coatham Beach), the triangular marker opposite the Boating lake. I did catch a small bass in small surf there. I tried plugging on The Stray Beach ,Redcar but to no avail. it's the old tune, the wrong day, state of tide, weather conditions, or just no luck at all. but that's shore angling anyhow. 99.9% waiting, watching, hoping.  Then hey presto you strike one.

ooh the long slippery slope to lure buying  then realising you need more boxes to store them, then you need more lures to fill the spaces then you notice you've bought more than the box can hold so round you go again lol

hi lads ive had the odd bass of marske in the past on sandeel live and drawn in slowly dead,also had a few from the south gare on the rite hand side as u approach it on the island at low water but u do need movement and they tend to lay just of the second breaker,its good along here with small rapalas,also try the osprey range and the osprey jointed lures such as mango minnows,thunderstick flash,saltwater sammy and ratlin rappers,it pays to move about aswell and dont walk past the pool behind u had a few in there aswell.im off to monreath in a few weeks to give them ago as i do twice a year,and dont forget ya chesties u,ll need them to combat the boulders close in,at £12.00 a shot can be an expensive going on,but as a lot of the forum members say dont give up or be dishearted if u dont catch i fished marske beach on and off for 4 years before hitting me first fish a crackin 1 mind on spun sandeel for this beach anyway weighed in at just a shad over 4lb,hope it helps tight lines
