Fishing Shoebury soon. Either SHoebury East Beach, or Shoebury by the Yathc club. Any advice on which is best, fish? tactics? Thanks

i have had lots of good fishing in these spots from the beach,southend is great at the moment, lug worm is a killer bait, as with rag,1 up 1 down rig, or long flow works best, lots of bass, flounder,dont know why but crab bait is not working at the moment,

thats where i fish in southend off the beach the old gas jetty,its where all the boats are tyed up, there is a pipe line going out to sea,you can find it at low tide,fish the left hand side of it,a west wind is the best to fish there,am going there soon, if your not sure give us a shout, and i will come down i stay 5 mins from the beach,

the old gas jetty, is on southend beach, not to far from the sea life aquarim centre,it is an old striped out building that runs in to the sea, dont fish close to it lots of snags, fish about 200 yards to the left beside the pipe line,you will see it at low tide,
