Fishing guide

Brill (Scophthalmus rhombus) is a sleek, bottom-dwelling flatfish found along sandy or muddy seafloors commonly at depths up to 100 meters. Though usually up to 3 kg in weight, rare specimens can grow up to a meter and hit 7+ kg. Brill is valued for its delicious meat and is considered a relatively rare catch among anglers. It feeds on worms, crustaceans, mollusks, and small fish, and responds best to bottom rigs with natural bait or soft lures. Brill usually hides along the seafloor, so fishfinders are often used to locate the most promising spots. Its elusive behavior and sensitivity to technique make it a real challenge for anglers.

When it comes to float, feeder, or bottom fishing, the best way to catch Brill would be to use Sea Worms on a size #3/0 hook.
