People:just me

Tide:23;30 ish

Weather: mild and calm

Bait:rag

Rigs:3 hook flappers

Report:Decided to go out and try for a bass. Arrived to find the sea like a pond so a change of plan.
So on with a 2 up 1 down flapper size 2 hooks. Not a lot happened untill about 22;30.At last 2 little flounder both 15cm
so of the mark. 15 mins later i landed another flounder of 20cm .Packed up and headed for home. Not a lot happened but a lovely night. Will be back for a bass when there is a bit of surf on this beach.

Well done matt69 hard to get anything from that beach, better chance of a bass from the rocks to the right all around the head behind the mobile home park. Best to get the spinning rod out but take xtra care fishing an incoming tide as some of the rocks are quite exposed.
