Fishing sand bottom beaches

[plankton]

Open sandy beaches can be tough, you should scout the beaches at low tide and look for bars and troughs in the sand, fish will use this structure when moving about and feeding, any darker patch of water(deeper) surrounded by lighter water is a good place to target. Eels will work, as well as almost any artificial, and remember when looking for bigger fish, darkness is your friend.

Sea worms on the bottom. Sit, wait and enjoy yourself and company. That was how I fished before I got hooked on plugs.
