Dabs - where and when?

I've never caught a dab and would like to target them this year but have no idea where or when to fish for them. I live an hour away from the Devon/Dorset area and need some pointers, can anybody help please?

Re: Dabs - where and when?

Well I have heard of some very early dabs coming from West of Bexington and Cogden on Chesil. It is still a bit early to really got for them. Wait till the end of March and you should be able to pick some up from Abbotsbury and the western end of Chesil. I cant comment on any of the Devon marks, but there are a good few on here that can.

Re: Dabs - where and when?

Nick
there are some to be had from Mumbles pier Swansea (better towards top of tide??).
Can't say its the nicest place I have ever fished, but one of the more expensive £3 a rod (open 09:00 to 16:45 currently) + £5 to park (all day).
May be closing shortly (has been for ages) due to Health & Safety - it's falling apart.
I believe the dabs like stinky manky baits.
Good Luck
