Bouncing & rolling the bait into the gullies & surf I imagine seems to work that's where the food should be Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldypigeonpopper Posted April 9 Report Share Posted April 9 Hello, if your casting weights of 4 ounce or more you going to need some shock leader joined to your main line, about 20 ft long, i have watched people beach fishing with heavy weights and casting with no shock leader and get snagged on the reel and whoops snap and line and weight gone, 2 ounce should be ok if you have about 15llb main line, most of my beach fishing was using spiked leads but i did use rounders when rolling bait in the tide, if you watched the news today some beaches i fished like Hayling, Bracklesham , Bognor, Selsey had some very strong wind and high tides , give it a few days to settle then it is good time to fish Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just started working out near the Suffolk coast, so keen to get some advice before giving it a try.
