People: Self

Duration:3 hours

Tide:1 hour before morning high tide

Weather: Cold, windy but sunny and dry

Bait:Sandeel

Rigs: Vaious

Results:One Flounder

Report: Fished near entrance to beach. Caught an 18" flounder on first cast. Tried for bass after that. Got a few bites but didn't connect with anything. The bites dried up once the tide started to go out.
I tried spinning for a while off the rocks but there was a big swell and it was a bit dodgy.

Were you fishing on the beach Woody or off the rocks into the deeper water?

That is a mighty big flounder Woody - 46cms :shock: :shock:

Well done.

Thanks - personal best for me. However, don't think they are that unusual in this part of the country. Have caught quite a few at 16" but normally much later in the year.

Nice one Woody. Have always thought that the Beack might be worth a shot some time. I nearly always end up on one of the other beaches in the area with some bigger surf on them.

Was weed a problem? Every time I have thought about fishing here there has been lots of weed about.

There was a small bit in the corner I was fishing in but the rest of the beach was clean. I know it can get very heavy with weed at times.
I am not that familiar with the beach myself. Where I was fishing was fine as I was there early but it would be a pain later in the day with all the walkers and dogs. I have seen other people fishing near the water outlets on the beach but maybe one of the lads who knows the area can advise.
I would prefer the peace and quiet of your other beach down the road - you seem to doing well there!
