Steep sloping shingle beaches with rock/reef nearby or in front of you . In this case short casts 10 to 20 meters this is where the feed best. Shellfish baits(Cray/crab,tutus,mussels,limpets,prawns) on single hook ledger rigs when fishing two or more rods or two hook ledger rig when fishing one rod. 3/0 to 5/0 hooks pretty standard i prefer gamakatsu octopus circle. These are my preferences and are generalizations but do work well for me. Good luck
