Time , 12,30 to 4pm
Bait, 2up mackrel flapper
Tide , filling to almost slack water..
Weather,, sunny.. almost warm. Light breeze

Results,, 4 wee turbot and 25cm flounder

With the whole family couped up in the house and me basically shut up shop we decided to hit the beach for a few hours.. with herself and the kids off gathering shells i set up and cast out my lidl mackrel .. brought the ugly stik too so i could pass the time for a few very hopeful bass casts .. no bass but a couple of flat boys whichwere greatly welcomed..

You'll get isolation up there alright. Wee turbos are lovely to look at, hopefully be some bigger ones about soon. I wonder if those flounders have come back from spawning already or just didn't go. Flounders very scarce here ATM.
