Mablethorpe Beach and Surrounding Areas – The shallow sandy beaches fish well over low water. Cod and whiting can show over winter, summer offers bass from the surf as well as flatfish with Dover sole a possibility as well as dogfish. Casting good distances could catch the lucky angler a thornback ray. Species that are less common, such as turbot and smooth-hounds can also be occasionally caught from this area. Some fishing marks can suffer from large amounts of weed being present which can make fishing difficult at times. View this area on Google Maps here.
Sutton on Sea: The vast sandy beaches of Sutton on Sea can produce fish, especially after rough or stormy weather which has churned up the seabed and brough the fish closer in to feed. Flatfish such as flounder, dab and plaice can be caught here on small (size 2 to 1/0) hooks to ragworm or lugworm baits tipped with mackerel or squid. Bass can also be a possibility here (increase hook size to 2/0 – 4/0) and try peeler crab, ragworm, larger squid or sandeel baits, and thornback rays can be caught to long casts.

Moggs Eye/Huttoft Beach: This area will produce flatfish from the sandy beaches including flounder, dab and plaice to worm baits. Dogfish and school bass (and some larger bass) can also show and in the colder winter months good cod can be caught and whiting can also show in good numbers and reach decent sizes. Size 2/0 hooks are a good all round choice and worm baits will catch most species found here, but squid, mackerel strip and peeler crab are all worth trying as well.

Chapel Point and Surrounding Beaches: The beaches around Chapel Point will produce cod in the winter along with whiting. Flatfish such as flounder and dab can be caught through most of the year, as can bass and sometimes dogfish. Use a size 3/0 or 4/0 hook with a big squid or lugworm bait for cod, while smaller size 1/0 or 2/0 hooks baited with lugworm, ragworm or fish or squid strip will catch the flatfish and smaller bass. Long cast with peeler crab baits can catch smoothhounds, and sandeel and mackerel or bluey baits can catch rays. View this area on Google Maps here.
