I have had four at walmer in three trips over the last two weeks they have all taken lug tipped with a small piece of squid intended for dabs or whiting on a size 1 aberdeen, all have been on the bottom hook of a 3 rig loop rig, ie hard on the bottom.
Fished just in front of the castle at 40 -50 yards, all taken about 3 hours before high tide, when the tide gets going the whiting seem to out compete both the dabs and the rockling.
Hope that helps.
Matt

There are zillions of rocking off all the pebble beaches in Suffok. Try Orford, Aldeburgh etc. I guess they prefer a shingle or rock bottom to estuary silt...
