Beach Fishing For Flatfish - Dab Rigs, Tips & Tactics

Traditionally the months of January and February are normally very quiet months for the sea angler.

The increase in Sprat population normally pulls all the larger fish into the deeper water and way out of range for the shore anglers and the bigger specimens can become pre-occupied feeding on this little silver fish, which provides an easy, nutritional meal.

A small Lugworm bait presented on the bottom rarely stands a chance and many beaches can be almost devoid of fish, especially Codling. However despite all this, there's one fish you can normally rely on to feed and one fish that is actually at it's biggest and most abundant in this 'quiet period' and that is the humble Dab.

So with all these things in mind we travelled to an old haunt, a favourite bit of beach from many seasons gone and a place where we'd previously enjoyed success catching Dabs and other Flatfish, that beach was Kessingland in Suffolk.

Arriving just before high water, armed with a 100 blow Lugworm and a mixture of different rigs, we were soon set up and ready to get the first baits in the water…

To find out how the session unfolded and what rigs, tips and tactics we used to target these plentiful little Flatfish then be sure to watch the latest episode from the waters edge.
