Due to its soft mouth, anglers are advised to be gentle when reeling in hooked turbot, using a large landing net and little pressure; otherwise, you can rip their mouths, and the fish will escape. Turbots are playful fish that usually favour live baits with movement to keep them intrigued; if using fresh baits such as mackerel or herring strips, it's best to keep in mind to keep them in motion by raising and lowering to rod regularly. Commonly found in muddy weed beds near sandbanks and shallow water close to shore. A basic effective shore fishing setup would be the running paternoster rig method. This setup allows no pressure or sense of resistance once the fish has taken the bait and allows the rig to be anchored right on top of the weed bed to get them out without suspicion. Using a boat, the best setup is using a boat leger rig. The simple setup consists of having a gap between the hook and swivel to about 1m. The bait is placed on top of the weed bed, with the line moving without hitting the weight, reducing turbulence that would scare the fish away. Once caught, They will pull the line trying to head for the weed beds. However, it is crucial to be as gentle as possible as turbot have smallmouth that can easily be ripped off, not striking hard and using a reasonable force. As they have small mouths, the hook is likely to be easy to remove, gently twisting and turning it out of the mouth. These fish need to be kept submerged in water when taking pictures; once finished giving them a break to avoid stress will be great before releasing them back out in the water.
