Turbot

#1 Post by Bassy Tom »

Hi all,

i am hoping to add turbot to my list this year and was wondering if anyone had advice on the tactics, rigs, bait etc needed? I live in the South East and was wondering where would be a good spot to try for one? pm welcome.

Thanks lads.

Plenty about east cork but they dont get much bigger than 20cms.
Mack and sandeel seems to do the trick for me. Rigs are usually flappers in close.
