Popular Post Scotch_Egg2012 Posted August 21, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted August 21, 2021 (edited) With the current weekend forecast being a write off we took the opportunity to head out last night in the weather window for a bit of Sole fishing. Turned into a nice evening with a few Sole turning up Only fished til 12 but we ended up with 11 in the 1-2lb range with the biggest just under 2.5lb. First time I've fished the spot in over 15yrs so glad it still produces Ray managed the 2 biggest Edited August 21, 2021 by Scotch_Egg2012 suzook12, Dicky, GPSguru and 4 others 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mike farrants Posted August 23, 2021 Share Posted August 23, 2021 is there a particular season or tactics? or is it the same as other flatfish - eg bling and worms? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Night time is best for sole. The rag worm bait needs to be hard on the bottom. So some lead shot just above the worm head is advisable. Small hooks too, sole have little gobs. mike farrants 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No bling for Sole, They can be quite finicky. As Neil said the rig needs to be nailed on the seabed. Shortish hook length size 4 hooks Season July/August/September They'll take Rag & Lug, but also at times squid or mackerel strips. mike farrants and Andy135 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
