No Flounder, Just Foundered

#1 Post by chuckaroo »

Was trying yesterday for some flounder since I had heard of a few nice ones caught recently at a local beach mark that I had never fished before, ..but none turned up...
Was actually quite happy with a nicely marked, and very decently sized, sea scorpion (anyone know if its a ssss or lsss?) and a wee seatrout in the meantime.
Windchill was insane, only a couple of minutes handling the rod or bait and the fingers were in pain!, thankfully I was able to sit in the the car right beside the rods.
Enjoyable session listening to the football, smoking fags and drinking coffee whilst all the time watching the rods and enjoying the view.. :) nice sunny day it twas.

30 cm, cracking scorpion fish, think you have to see them from the underside, to see how the membrane is attached to the gill plate to tell l from s!

It's a Short Spined S.S., evident for the info from this link: http://seaanglingreports.co.uk/index.php?topic=3298.0

No flounder, not even a bass, but I'd be well pleased with that ssss, and a nice wee sea trout too.
