Turbot Fishing Brighton Marina offers a fantastic opportunity for fishing enthusiasts in Brighton and the surrounding areas. This popular fishing club provides an enjoyable and relaxing way to experience Brill Fishing or Turbot Fishing.
The fishing trip begins with the exciting task of catching bait in the morning, setting the groundwork for a successful day out on the water. Once the bait is secured, the boat heads to the banks to find the perfect spot for a fruitful fishing expedition. This social experience allows anglers to soak up the summer weather while enjoying quality time with friends and family.
The Turbot Fishing trips take place during the mid to late summer months, from July to September, creating the ideal conditions for a memorable fishing adventure. As the boat travels approximately 20–30 miles off the South Coast of Brighton, the tackle is set up with bait to attract the desired fish. Anglers use feathers and sabikis to catch bait such as mackerel and sand eels, ensuring an enticing offering for the fish. The bait is targeted and strategically selected before approaching the Turbot Fishing grounds.
For experienced anglers, the tackle setup consists of rods and reels ranging from 15 to 20 lbs, fixed spool reels 6000 and up, or multiplier reels 3/0 and up. Braid mainlines of 30-50lbs are preferred, although nylon mainlines of 25-40lbs can also be used. The end tackle includes a sliding ledger boom rig with 3–6 feet of 20lbs-40lbs mainline. A single or Pennel rigged 6/0-7/0 bait-holder hook, or a 4/0 Aberdeen or Forged variant, is used as the hook. The mackerel bait is cut into long thin tails and presented as naturally as possible. Live bait, such as sand eels and lance, is hooked mainly in the backs or mouths, depending on the tide.
In addition to the sought-after Turbot, there are various other fish that can be caught during the trip, including Brill, Greater Weever, Plaice, Huss, Hound, and occasionally Sharks or Rays. The size of the fish can vary, with Rays weighing well above 10lbs and Smooth Hounds reaching around 7lbs and up. There is always a chance of catching a truly impressive Tope during the trip for those seeking an extra thrill.
