People:myself and saltydog

Duration:4-12

Tide:incoming

Weather:overcast but calm

Bait:lug mack sandeel

Rigs:flappers and a clipdown

Results:7 flounder 1 turbot 1 coalie

Report: a few pm's and txt's ensured the lugworms from the previous days fishing would be used... and used they were :shock:
lettergesh was the venue, and flat calm sea's greeted us as we arrived with a nice blazing sun, what a day to be putting on waders :shock: fishing started off slow with nothing in the first hour or so, then the tide started to push and a nice small flattie(flounder) to me(blank saved). then a while later another small one, , (still nothing to saltydog :twisted: )

there was a bit more movement to the water after a while as a sea breeze crept along(but wasnt sustained) i took a mosey out into the water to check my rig to find it moving happily with fish.. reeled in and found 2 flounder and a teabag (turbot) sucking nicely on the baits. (still othing for salty) by this time darkness was creeping near as the sun was dropping slowly and finally, a nice little flatty for saltydog (for a while we were contemplating going over to lil'killary to save a blank) and as darkness prevailed another two flounder found there way to saltydog's hooks, nearing the end i reeled in to find a nice little coalie sucking on a lugworm and size 2 hook. finished up with 2 new species for the year(coalie and turbot) and saltydog learned a few new tactics in fishin :wink:

I fished the left hand side of the beach too. I suppose its hard to get too many flats on size 4/0 eagle claw hooks. :lol:
