If you had one chance to catch a Dab where would you go? I have caught Flounders but never had a Dab!

44 mark on Shields, I've had loads from there.
Also... Walkway, not so many but some very good size ones. Straight off the end of Roker during the day but they tend to be on the small size.
But for consistency the 44 takes some beatingCLIP IT AND WHACK IT -
South Shields Pier, Druridge Bay, Lynemouth Beach, Lower Tyne (i.e. Walkway). Haven't caught one for a while myself! One of my favourite eating fish!!

The end of Shields pier. I very rarely fail to get one there.People who live in glass houses have to answer the door.Comment

Got one at Horden beach today. Not a monster though.Originally posted by Peever lad View Post
Had others at Crimdon beach. Pleasant fishing there except for the walk back to the car up from the dunes.
Best time is low water. Wear chest waders when there's a flat sea and get out there.Last edited by Lynnzer; 28-02-2014, 09:08 PM.Told the missus I was going on a diet. I'd only eat what I caughtComment

Spirit of shields, ssp south east corner, bunker on roker pier. Manky bait, size 4 hooksComment

SSP 44 on the flood, straight off the end on the ebb. Loads of them, they are a nuisance at times.Comment

the best spot in the northeast for a dab is the heugh in hartlepool. we get dabs on there all year round. only small at the minute though. the ends of most of the longer piers casting on to clean ground will give you the best chance of getting one.
stick with size 2 hooks, 15lb hooklengths, a single luminous glowbead above the bait. any worm bait tipped off with a small piece of mackerel will work.
i know some will say they caught them on a 5/0 with 50lb hooklength but stick with the above to increase your chances.Comment
