Anyone got any info on catching shore turbot? Caught a few on ledgered Sandeel at Torness beach this summer whilst after Bass and am intrigued....... want to catch them bigger than 1lb if that\'s possible. Where\'s the best marks?

A random 3lb 10oz turbot showed up at the cat and dogs steps at Seaburn a year ago. None seen ever since. Have heard Lynmouth beach can be a spot?
 
I\'ve seen undersize Turbot caught at Upgang (Whitby). I don\'t think they are in sufficient numbers to target them specificaly on Yorkshire/Durham/Northumbrian coast but you may get the occasional one, especially if you improve your chances by fishing additional hooks and an additional rod(s).
 
Caught a tiny one of Sandsend Beach 3 years ago, and have heard of people fishing from boats close in on calm summers nights for them from the same beach.
