Fishing Through the May Rot for Flatties

Having had a few good fishing sessions down Shoreham, I headed back down as the weather was beautiful. My plan was to fish one rod at distance for the plaice. A second rod would be fished close in, between 25 and 60 yards, to see if any summer species had arrived. I was particularly thinking about bream, but also wondering if a flounder might grace the beach with its presence.
What I had not bargained for was severe May rot! It was rife, at all distances, making fishing conditions hard. I battled on through as I knew I was armed with a good selection of rigs and bait to maximise my chances. In the video, I show how I baited up with white rag, fresh outs, frozen lug, small peelers, and razor fish.
All-in-all, it was a lovely day out and fish were caught.

Loving your videos, after struggling to get back into sea fishing after a few years break because of personal life changing reason, watching your videos has helped and made me more determined to get back into something that I loved to do, tight lines x

You can do it! Sorry to hear you've needed a break from fishing, but if you used to love fishing then I reckon giving it another go will be awsome. Go for it!

Ive got the Trabucco Catturia 16ft three piece with three tips "Beach Ledger!" Similar to your light rod i guess? Got it for Float fishing on likes of Chesil with first wave that always pulls line off line! but this keeps it higher so in contact all the tie but also will lob a float a long way but you can use a smaller lead to trundle rig around. My other rods are Italcanna Dynamis/LA's/B4/A4. Might catch you along their as planning a trip soon as my friends sons liking the sea fishing and now weathers improved there wanting to go.

Yes that sounds similar. The banzai multi tip also has three different push in tips. Lovely to use rods like these.

Great info thanks but just wondering what type of oil you use on the lug thanks John
@ClickBaitGem
@ClickBaitGem Ай бұрын
I use a very light brushing of bluey or lug oil. Basically any bait additive oil that I fancy. Plus a sprinkle of salt. Too much oil and the bait goes a bit slimy.
