Beach Fishing

What would you say is the most effective way of fishing from a shingle beach?

hi, thats a big question pompey,
which beach?
what time of year?
day or night?
what do you want to catch?

I'd say from my experience with shingle beaches before, during the day, 20lb - 30lb main line and a 10lb - 20lb trace. I find the most effective way is to use a dexter wedge in those kind of places, but if you prefer to use bait, lugworm is good in those areas.

a good tripod a 12 ft 4-6oz beach caster 15lb main line with a 50lb leader
the rigs depends on time off year an what ya going after, baits lug rag squid fish, peeler crab,

I agree here wouldn't fish too heavy a mainline but get a decent shockleader on
the end rig depends on what you want to catch

Yeah - deffinalty - i also agree. So pompey - what do you hope of catching? We might be able to help you a bit more.

I would suggest using a tripod to hold your beachcaster, line 15-18lb main, using either a 2 hook flapper for close in work or a Pulley clip down for the bigger fish. For distance you could use Clip down rig or one of the new D-vice leads which I find very useful.
