NATURAL BAITS
Ragworm Lugworm Mackerel strip Squid Shrimp Peeler crab
BEST TIMES
Dusk Night
Pouting are unfussy scavengers that readily take standard baits such as ragworm, lugworm and mackerel strip. To target them, use a two- or three-hook flapper rig with size 1–2 hooks. They move shallower and feed harder as the sun sets, so dusk and darkness are best. Clean sand and shingle beaches are the top marks, though mixed and rough ground also produce.
