Report:tried a local mark for a few flounders. fishing was quiet enough first cast landed a flat of 37 cm not a bite then for 2 hours when i got a good rattle knew it was a flat so i let him rattle away for a few mins brought him in and was pleasently surprised by his size quick measure 43cm and back it went not another bite after that

i reckon it was specimen and iv been out a few times to get a speci flat but they just refuse to bite when im hunting specimens :lol: and to be honest the thoughts of filleting when i got home made my mind up to return it after a quick photo the only fish i want to be eating at the moment is the elusive cod :lol: :lol:
