Report:Fished the morning before in Malta in no more than a pair of swimming togs, 24 hours later i'm sitting in a beach buddy in a pair of chest waders, fleece, wooly hat and smock
Fishing club match on a very calm Trabane, eveybody expecting doggies and thats what we all start out to try and hit. Baits going long although i'm sticking on an extra flyer in close for any flounder. Typically dogs decide to bugger off and only one is caught.
Flounders though are out and about. Once it gets dark they are nore than 4 feet from waters edge
Most average around 23cm but a few 25cm counters too, manage three out of eight. Seanie I think had a similar ratio and overall number. Lot of phosporecence in the water and at the end of the comp I walked along the beach in no more than 2ft of water, loads of flats go zooming off ahead of me, there outline being traced in the phosphorescence. Was one of the coolest things I've seen at the sea, like a fireworks display and it was possilbe to watch them zooming off for about 5 or 6 metres.
