This year has been tough sea fishing. No major blowy weather, calm seas and clear water.

Night time is the best time to be fishing. 

Lug worm and rag worm are easy to hook, put them on a hollow straight baiting needle then thread them onto the hook.

Best then tipped with a bit of squid or fish.

As with coarse fishing, don't overcast the fish, at night more bass and sole are caught within 30metres than at longer range. And don't think bigger is better, a size 1 or 2 hook is as big as you need for sole.

This was Shingle Street last Wednesday.

A high tide at 23.09 so I arrived at 5pm so I could set up in daylight, and see the low water mark. I normally aim to fish until 3hours after high.

As you can see it is a high, deep, shingle beach, no real need for long casting, although I do put a big bait as far as I can 'just in case', and that was the one that produced the thornback ray on prawn and squid on a size 5/0.

The short range rod, at probably 50metres produced a few dogfish, a tiny smoothhound and the conger eel all on ragworm and squid.

No bites until around 10.30, the first doggy, the thornback came just after high, and the last fish around 1.30.
