lovely session, but am surprised no one has identified that the plaice is in fact a dab with unusual spots, a plaice would be slightly more rounded and the 'top' fin would stretch up to the head, check out somr pics on google image and you may see what i mean.

thanks rab, i fished the huss mark about 4 weeks ago for 4 hours and did'nt even get a nibble. but with all the reports of mackeral and wrasse being caught out that way it might be worth trying again :wink:

great minds think alike booner :wink: that was my first thought until i rubbed his skin backwards and it was as smoothe as a flounder, so deffo not a dab. add that to the 4 boney nodules behind the eye instead of a ridge line and it's plaice all the way :) , but well spotted man :)

Well done everyone, brilliant fishing.
Don came up trumps again and took you's to a place that fished well 8) good on him.
Well done Al mate on getting your new PB flounder and well done Jordan on getting your plaice.
It must have been amazing to see the dolphins and purpoises out in front of you - I would have loved to have seen it myself - I'm so jealous! :mrgreen: :mrgreen:
The food you organised for the lads sounds yummy Al, I'm going to go and have my lunch now because you've made me hungry at the thought of it.
