I soon followed With a brace of flounder (27 & 32) This was all in the first hour or so then it switched off for 1.5hours then myself and mick got a flounder at the same time (pic attached). So to summarize fishmad had steady fishing and had 5 flounder in total, Michael had 2 flounder, Danny only had the one flounder, i had 3 flounder and 2 of the anglers blanked. Weather conditions were not great again with heavy rain and hail but at least we had fish to show for it. We then moved to portsalon pier in the village and fished over the wall for about 2 hours, not even a bite, Thankfully there were liquid refreshment's near by
