Report:
woke up late in the morning and decided i might have a session down on one of the local beaches, my Dad kindly offered to drop me down :D

when i reached the beach it was barren with nobody in sight and the water crystal clear, i set up my first rod and placed it roughly 40-50 yards , i couldnt tell if there was a fish, with such high winds so i just left it for 15 mins , as i slowly reeled in my trace i had 2 flounder on, one 28cm and one 21cm :) Great Start!
i placed my fish in a nearby sandy rockpool.
i then set up another telescopic rod for the craic to see what it would produce , to my surprise i reeled in a flounder at 22cm :) Great fight on very light gear :lol:
then my other rod went about 17-18 mis later , i thought i had a clump of weed on but to my surpise it was a lovely flounder of 39cm , it took both my top hook and my lower and came in side ways which explained the weight :roll:
it went 'slack' for about 30 mins when the telescopic rod bent over and i had myself a wee turbot of 18 cm :)
i ended with another flounder of 34cm :D Happy out!
