Sea Fishing From The Beach - How Light Can You Go!

This entry was posted on 21st December, 2016

For this latest episode we took the camera’s down to Kessingland on the Suffolk coast, to try and catch a few fish from the beach.

Now it’s no secret that the winter fishing around our coastline has been very poor so far this season, the codling have been virtually non-existent and anglers have been relying on the whiting to provide a bit of sport.

Now don’t get me wrong, I have nothing against the Whiting, but I like to try and catch something that grows a little bigger and at least pulls back.

Fishing for these smaller species isn’t much fun on heavy beach tackle, in the same way that catching small roach and dace on carp rods wouldn’t be…

BUT, it got me thinking, catching small roach and dace on light tackle is pretty fun…

SO if we wanted to have a bit of fun catching Whiting, could we step down our tackle?

In-fact, exactly how light could we go?! Carp rods, avon rods, quiver tip rods?!
