Report:
I decided to hit a spot tonight on a mission for Flounder if I managed to get everything wrapped up that I needed to get done at home. I had hoped my sister would head down with me, but her husband's motorcycle broke down on the way home from work so I had to go alone. The spot is quite isolated and dark and I forgot to recharge my headlamp batteries and inevitably it packed in. Also, as I don't drive and needed the wife to pick me up I could only stay for an hour because my kids go to bed early. Anyway, on my 3rd cast the Mrs. turned up and as I was throwing the worms in my rod buckled over. I was fishing nice and light with a Bass rod, tiny reel and 3oz lead and I got myself a beautiful, hard-fighting 2lb female Flounder. My favourite fish is the Flounder followed closely by the Ballan Wrasse and I am a very happy man now plus I had set myself the target of a 2lber from this particular spot so a great start to the year for me. Just a pity I couldn't fish on for a while longer. Headed straight up to my parent's house and my dad was inhaling the smell of the fish as if it were a fine wine. Just like the old days when we used to get bags of large 2-4lbers from Ballycarry Bridge, and we now have a session arranged for Friday night hopefully.

Secret Location Its your kitchen Sink!! (If rodger can catch Bass in his bathtub, why cant someone else catch flounder in their sink??)

Well done on the 2lber!!

nice going mate, for one hour a good result, would have like to seen if you where there longer what the report would say then.... remember always carry a small spare torch or something like that ... i always make sure i have two headlamps when fishing night, you never know if one was to brake or something.....anyway good result.......
