Off chance

the sea temperatures are still low, once the temps hit 10 / 11 c they will start to turn up and become more active,

For anyone new to Bass fishing with lures, Sammy posted the most important piece of information in the whole thread. To add a little more I believe under 9c I really don't think there's much point in trying with lures, colder temps really mean offering the fish a very easy meal. Something it doesn't have to chase, a very slowly fished soft plastic for example.
The warmer the sea the more active the fish/metabolism and they will actively chase.
