Turbot

[magpies]

Thinking about having a look out tomorrow when I guess the top of the tide will be around 14:00.

Would really like to catch a Turbot.

Could anyone advise me of a North East mark where I could have a chance of catching one ?

Many thanks for any help lads.

There's always a few pulled in at Druridge bay mate!

Warkworth beach has produced a few also over the last few years. Mostly small though.


Good Luck

you could also try embleton beach, also fish baits seem to work best for turbot. hope you catch one.

i had a couple yesterday from Druridge bay ragworm tipped with small chunks of mackerel on a 2 hook flapper works best or bluey

Thanks lads, could anyone give me directions to Druridge Bay and the marks? Never been up there. I will be travelling North from County Durham.

Also is it a high water mark ? I was thinking about going out in the middle of the afternoon for maybe 1 up 2 down. Would that be good timing for that mark?

Fish two rods at Druridge at the start of the flood - one ridiculously close in and one a little further out - use mackerel or sandeel strips (or bluey). Small aberdeen hooks. Expect the turbot to be very small (but the occasional bigger one pops up). Druridge is easy to find - it's the massive beach between Lynemouth and Amble. Good luck.
