so of the mark. 15 mins later i landed another flounder of 20cm .Packed up and headed for home. Not a lot happened but a lovely night. Will be back for a bass when there is a bit of surf on this beach.

Well done matt69 hard to get anything from that beach, better chance of a bass from the rocks to the right all around the head behind the mobile home park. Best to get the spinning rod out but take xtra care fishing an incoming tide as some of the rocks are quite exposed.
