You'll get isolation up there alright. Wee turbos are lovely to look at, hopefully be some bigger ones about soon. I wonder if those flounders have come back from spawning already or just didn't go. Flounders very scarce here ATM.

Nice turbos martin

Nice fishing there. There plenty Flounder round my mark from the end march there but all in estuary on crab recently most round mid 20s up to 35 biggest. Also my first smelt a huge one to I'm told at 11inchs. Load a Whitting still about pestered at dusk and night. Pitty can't travel 10 mins to the ray marks hopefully this week wen laws r relaxed lol.
