Should still be bass around in early october - I've caught them on Gower/South pembrokeshire that time of year before and water has been nice and warm this year. 5mm wetsuit will still be ok in october too. The main problem won't be fish/water temp though - that time year the swells start to arrive so I think vis will be your main problem - fingers crossed for the type of indian summer we've had in recent years and a nice calm spell
