Sand sole is an excellent sportfish. They typically feed after dark and is, therefore, anglers tend to offer hookbait near the shore on a night-time rising tide for the best catches. As an opportunistic feeder, sand sole are pretty easy to catch unless you're aiming for a large-sized fish. Keep increasing your bait size to catch bigger fish until you find the size range that gives you what you want, however, smaller fish are easier to come by so many anglers catch soles in quantities, not in size. Sand sole are known for its skin to be mostly smooth from its nose to its tail but it does have coarse sandpaper-like skin on the head which calls for careful handling when unhooking this fish before returning.
