weird flounder greystones

#1 Post by WrasseBasher »

People: me

Duration: 3 hours

Tide: high

Weather:odd

Bait: rag mack
dd
Rigs: flappers

Results: flounder




Report: i had the day off and weather looked good so decided to hit greystones and wet a line. when i got there the sea was fairly rough and no what i expected but i decided to persevere. had a few cast but sea was too rough for bite detection and the weight was getting dragged around. i decided to fish close in to avoid the big bow in the line and maybe pick up some fish. got rattles straight away but got snagged twice with a fish on :evil: :evil: and lost everything. decided to hit the beach and cleaner ground. guess what got snagged there too it was gonna be one of these frustrating sessions :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll: . reeled in my other rod and i had a plump flounder on :D happy days blank saved. then something weird happened.... flounder was deep hooked and i tried everything to remove hook but it wasnt happening so i had another look at him and he was definately plump enough for the table so i decided to dispatch him and cut the hook out and have him for supper, but then i noticed he was looking at me :shock: :shock: :shock: and his eyes were following me it was as if he knew,i tried to focus on the job but there was his puppy eyes gazing into my soul , then i felt guilty and decided to try and get the hook out once more and if it came out id release him, the hook just popped straight out :shock: :lol: and the flounder posed for a photo and then released him into the suds and away he went. i had a few more casts and nothing else came so i decided to save my bait for tomorrow or wed with better conditions , maybe.
driving home i had a very content feeling even though it was a bad session.... it was all very surreal. :D :D :D

Flounder in red :wink:
It is not a matter of upper or lower class, but of being up a while and down a while...

I've never seen you looking so lovely as you did tonight
I've never seen you shine so bright

I have never seen that dress you're wearing
Or the highlights in your head that catch your puppy eyes I have been blind
The flounder in red is dancing with me cheek to cheek
There's nobody here, it's just you and me, It's where I wanna be
But I hardly know this flounder by my side
I'll never for get, the way you look tonight
