flounder fest on a mayo beach 15-04-2012

#1 Post by saving private brian »

People:me

Duration:20.30pm-22.00pm

Tide:hw @ 21.00pm

Weather:smashing

Bait:mack and sandeels

Rigs:flappers

Results:flounders from 22-32cm on every cast




Report:after having the gear in the van from todays earlier session and had some bait left over i decided to try a beach that i know well to see if anything had came on it.i find that this beach normally fishes better later on in the year.after catching a 2lb seatrout earlier i decided to try for another.got there to find a nice surf rolling and quickly baited up both rods and out with them.didnt have to wait too long till the nocking started.both rods going at the same time etc.it was like i casted in to a pool of hungry flounders.i find that if your on a heavy bunch of hungry flounders that your better off with one rod and thats what i done,i put one away and pulled in flounders steadily for the duration i was there with one rod.some where doubles.no turbot or trout to be seen but theres always a next time :mrgreen:
