Was an atrocious day. Was ok at the start when the wind was behind us but it switched to the west made the fishing very uncomfortable. Had 6 or 7 undersized turbot and flounder and a lovely flounder of 35 which was beaten by 1cm for the longest fish pool. Also dropped a good flounder of about 28/29 :twisted: went to lift it and a wave came in a washed it away. Nice turnout considering the weather was so bad.
