People:me and Alex

Duration:1,5h

Tide:Hw at 8pm

Weather:showers

Bait:lure

Rigs:

Results:14 flatties, 2schoolies

report:
I'm not sure, this is not coarse fish report :twisted: So, after busy weeks at St Mullins, we've decided to do some flounder bash :) mean, great fun on the light tackle. 4lb line, 1inch shad lure, up to 10grams c.w. rod, shimano size 1000 reel- was a gear. target-river flounders. very short evening session, just 1,5h. result-14 flounders banked, much more lost. surprise-2 schoolies (I've never seen that size bass before). 2 of the flatties hit 35cm mark. happy days :lol: More pics on my blog :)

mod hat on:

EricH isn't being sarky when he says "Great to see you returned all the flounders". Although ecoastbass doesn't say it in this report, in his blog he says he used a keepnet to keep the fish for a photo, then released them.

Let's not do the C&R Vs C&K thing by mistake here.

mod hat off.

Good fishing there, good blog too.
