new at sea fishing

can any one help me to find a good fishing spot in mablethorpe or surronding area and what bait i need to use and what tackle i need many thanks james !!!!

Try anywhere between sutton & skeg

It's all fishable in some way, James, but often very shallow if you can't cast more than 100 yards.

You'll need lug, rag or peeler crab for bait, and the usual rigs apply. From what I cabn gather, flatties are the main target, with some codling, whiting and bass in summer. But that's info derived from some books.

Your best bet by a mile is to get to any of the east coast tackle shops for a recce; talk to the man behind the counter, and ask for help. As long as you buy something from him he'll be only too pleased to help.

The boat fishing might be a good bet, starting around May. Main ports are Skeggie and Grimsby.

any info on charter boats in grimsby or any sites on the net to give me info many thanks

thanks to all who replied !!!

SeaAngler mag does venue reports from various places round the country. Very informative if you bear in mind it went to print a few weeks ago.
