Targeting Turbot from shore
Hitting an old favourite Turbot mark next week.I usally use plain 3 hook flappers with mackerel and sandeel which works ok. Just wondering if I should change it up and add black wrap, squid or lug to my bait bucket. Do they like beads like flounder. Any tips and opinions would be greatly appreciated.
The finest gift you can give a fisherman is to put a good fish back, and who knows if the fish that you caught isn't someone else's gift to you?"

Re: Targeting Turbot from shore
I generally find, the bigger ones, plain rigs mack or sandeel - odd time razor after a blow
the lug and wraps mainly attract the teabags - or earings as ive heard them called also

Re: Targeting Turbot from shore
if there's a turbo about, you can not fail with a long strip of mackerel belly... works every time. Would not bother with anything else on a beach...

Re: Targeting Turbot from shore
Mackerel strips seem to be the only thing to work well for Turbot.
