few nice flounder
People:me
Duration:
Tide:
Weather:mild, breezy
Bait:lug mack sandeel squid crab
Rigs:clipped pennell. 3 hook flapper
Results:11 flounder
Report[/b/]went to the beach to use up the bait i had in the fridge. i went to a spot i usually always get a few fish and it looked really good with a big surf but after a few hours of not even getting a bite i left and was heading for home, i had a bit of bait left so stopped at a beach that i never really fished much even tho its only half an hour from my house, wasn't expecting much as the tide had started to drop but ended up catching eleven flounder, most of them were a good size too with some nice big fat ones in the mid thirtys, id say it'd be a great spot for flounder with a rising tide.

Re: few nice flounder
Good lumps of flounder well done
Fisherman's prayer:
God grant that I may live to fish, For another rainy day.
But when my final cast is made, I then most humbly pray.
When nestled in your landing net, As I lay peacefully asleep.
You'll smile at me and judge, That I'm "good enough to keep"!

Re: few nice flounder
well done bud some nice flats bud my advice to ya bud keep that spot to yourself i wouldnt pass it around on site not saying that the lads looking for the spot on the thread would but i ve seen van loads of dubs an others come down here an bag as much as they can an don t care what size i ve seen a big decline in flounders in the harbour
this is not just a rant its facts if ya have bad fishing in your own area don t bother tavelling to ruin others

Damn them Dubs ruining fishing for everyone, wouldn't want to tar anyone with the same brush now
However
I do agree about keeping the spot to yourself or people who ya trust (not Dubs), I've seen areas ruined once word got out
