Report: Fished Culdaff beach at about half filling tide, getting countless small flounders which were droppng off the hooks most of the time on the retrieve. Managed to get a few in, they were small fish. No sign of any turbot however i'm sure if we had the time to spend we could have got one or two. Will return on a night tide and see how we get on soon. All the fish were taking the lazy lug and nothing was looking at the rag. Tide was pretty much full at Malin Head and we managed to get coalies of around 1-1.5lb on mackerel baits.
