Report:
With a shore comp coming up soon it was time to get the feet back on terra firma and see could I remember how to set up a tripod.
I had rambled around the day before but found nowhere that got me motivated
so I ended up getting in some casting practice and boy did I need it. 
So after a bit of spinning around Sunday morning watching shoals of small mullet
I ended up in the Youghal area where I met up with John. John had already been fishing a comp in Monatrae where only 3 anglers had 3 single fish. At least that eliminated one venue so we headed to an estuary spot which often produce fish on the dropping tide.
Fishing about a 40 yards apart, the first half hour had no fish showing. John was on the first flounded a nice fish over the 35cm mark
. Good enough reason for me to make a move. A steady flow of flounder followed with a couple of doublers coming ashore. All the fish were a good size with most of them over the 40cm mark.
Best fish of the session fell to me a nice 46cm flounder that weighed 1.14kg.
and just over the specimen weight.In all not a bad come back that flounder push my specimen species count to 10.
3 from the shore, bass, painted ray and flounder. 7 from the boat, monkfish, pouting, whiting, coalfish, megrim, red gurnard and blonde ray.
