Fishing

The Dymchurch-to-Littlestone bay is a documented clean-sand fishery. Colder months produce whiting, dab, dogfish and codling; spring and summer bring bass, flounder, silver eel and Dover sole. Larger spring tides, roughly two hours before to two hours after high water, are favoured for the shallower bay marks.
