too late for plaice and the flounders will be moving off to breed soon, but there is always dabs :D use lug or rag on two up one down fappers over sand and you cant go wrong

theres still little ones around and the odd stray big one who's biological clock has malfunctioned or just isn't good lucking enough to get with opposite sex,poor little bugger.traditionally spring is the time for most flats, but winter is the best for dabs.
