Unhooking Flatfish Properly

Both Pete Davis and Steve Turner have posted guides on how to unhook flatfish properly. Pete’s post is here and Steve’s post is here.

Here is an excerpt from Pete’s post.

Carefully reach through gill plate and over the top of the gills and grasp the snood.

Draw snood out through gill plate, gentle pressure will invert the hook allowing for an easy unhooking.

Draw the hook back through the gills, invert it and grasp it firmly before....

..carefully feeding it back through the gill cover and out the fishes mouth. Job done.... In seconds... 🙂
