Courtown surprise catch

Fished Courtown today, bait was Frozen Mac, lug and squid, low water was around 3ish, I got going just before that.
There was some huge waves coming in, wind was a bit of a northerly and the fish where showing from the first cast,
loads of whiting, most in and around 23/24cms, had a few rockling, one half decent flounder and a lovely little turbot, was not expecting that was pretty pleased with myself to be honest. Caught him on Mac tipped with squid and on the bass rod he gave a lovely bite. Anyways, good days fishing

Great catch man they are a stunning fish. Well done

Very nice. Fair play. Haven't been out this year yet. Work interfering

This working lark is not all it’s cracked up to be, seriously hampering my own chances of getting out as well

hopefully a few schoolies will start showing next few weeks on our " local" spot Greendag, I had a decent Turbo from it too late last year so defo worth targetting them at some stage. See you out there

That’s interesting, never had a turbo at that “local” spot, did have a couple of small Plaice there last year though. Roll on spring, had a decent bass there April last year

Looks a good size turbot in the mid 20s - if he wee whats a decent turbo!
well done

Good question, what qualifies as a decent turbo? at 23…and a half cms, thats a pb for me

Always nice to get something unexpected. "Decent" is relative; a pb is a decent fish for you relative to your previous turbot catches. That would be about 7-8 oz. Also, some areas produce bigger fish than others. Well done.

An east coast venue that produces on a Northerly!!! well done lovely Turbo
