Flounder on soft plastics

#1 Post by Bassy Tom »

Went out early Paddys Day morning to try and bag my first Bass of the season. No joy on the Bass front but i did manage to land my first ever flounder on a soft plastic. Happy Days!

Fair play tom, what SP did he take out of interest?

On another note, yesterday seems to have been the day a lot of us emerged from hibernation !

Would you believe it was the 100mm Fiiish crazy sandeel with a 10g jig head and a rattle in the body cavity. Only the second fish i have caught with that lure.

Cobwebs are dusted off now though shortcircuit :D

I once caught a dab on a full Launce mounted on a 5/0 hook. It wasn't any longer than the Launce.
