absolute novice to match fishing

As title shows im an absolute new match angler. Just wondering is there any advice anyone can give to make life a little easier on the evening as im fishing garrylucaa this comming sat. I know the venue well and itll be easterly winds and flat calm which is somewhat new me .

Don't know the beach,but if there's flatties on it then two up one down flounder rig should work,keep your hooks small,size 4 and 2..remember small hooks catch big fish but big hooks miss out on the smaller fish,its all about points,even a undersized fish scores points..

Thanks doggie3131. Its my first match so not expecting a good result but be nice to register a catch and not blank

Keep a eye on what is happening around and be prepared to ask questions .
There should be a few flats on the beach with hopefully dogs when it gets dark .
Good luck

Thanks for that theking. Lets hope its a good start. Any advice on lead choices for calm weather

Pyramids, watch leads or rolling leads. NOT GRIP leads. Grippers keep you in one spot and you want to try and cover ground and rolling leads will be able to find fish and food holding gulleys. Small gemeni yellow floating beads work well on middle snoods. Good luck!

Thanks for the advice as ita obvious im a pure pleasure angler learning from sratch and can only hope to gain expierence and better angling skills.

Having a couple of traces on the go (double patting) is a must , don't make baits too big, fish light in the daylight as the water is fairly clear at the moment. Worm baits can be important on this beach so try and have a few in the bait box. If fishing is slow going for a "flounder walk" is a common tactic

Thanks bass dad. Good advice comming from all here. Im guessing flounder walk is simply moving your bait in slowly to fish as much ground as possible. ☺.

No leave your rod and go for a chat with someone close for a few

Ya learn everyday in this Sport good tactic
