East Coast 28/3/15

Took a trip down to Louth today to blow the cobwebs off my lately under-utilised beach gear. This mark produces good numbers of (usually above averaged sized) flounders in most conditions. With that West wind at my back, I thought it the best option comfort-wise.

Set up 2 rods in close, both on straight lug, long, flowing traces. Had a bite within 10 seconds of putting the 1st rod down on the tripod.

A reasonably steady stream of flounders followed for me for the next c3 hrs though size was smaller with my biggest I think 29cm. As seems to be standard practice these days (scratching anyway), I was pretty well outdone by the BiL who had several 30 odds, up to 35. I think the bags finished 14-8 to him after my 2-0 lead was pegged back. A solitary pin-slugling added to my haul of flounder on the last cast.

Great to be back out and a decent sesh for this ToY. Nice motivation for the big boys' fishing that's hopefully just around the corner once again.

Nice result there A nice flattie bash is always enjoyable.

Nice going. Was over that direction myself last week, had a couple of flats and seen a few sea trout. The big boys can't be too far behind.

Good report mate. I wish i got more enjoyment from fishing for flats. I'd say on lighter gear, they would be great craic in close

Living in louth myself now but am not familiar with the area. Maybe you could pm me any marks you may know of.

Sounds like a grand flounder session lads, well done.
