I fished Dunwich beach on Saturday 11th February with some friends. I am not an experienced beach fisherman and have no gear of my own so I borrowed my brothers Browning beach rod and Grandfathers Mitchell reel as well as other gear.
Dunwich has sandbanks and gullies running parallel to the beach. I used a standard two hook rig which allowed for both baits to be fished close to/on the bottom. I knew there was a sandbank in front of me because of the breaking waves at low tide, I decided to fish around this feature.
There was a small swell in the water but the sea state was fairly calm, the water was not overly muddy. As the tide pushed in for an hour I had a flounder of 25cm, this was caught on the far side of the sand bank so I decided to cast to that spot again. This yielded a good result in the form of a 30cm flounder. We were expecting dabs so the flounder were a pleasant surprise.
I enjoyed the day and think I may invest in some beach fishing gear now it has kindled my interest!
