sorry should have said..... we were fishing the pier. That has been the first turbot i have had out of red bay. I fish it from my boat as well and have never had turbot.

yeah, it used to be great for them in the boats, not as good anymore, but encouraging to see them make a comeback a bit more on the shore, they always do turn up, but never really in big number, or much over half a pound there...
