Results: 7 flounder (3 greater than 40 cm)
Report: As it was a nice sunny afternoon I decided that such days are few and far between this "summer" so I should make the most of it and go fishing - first dug some rag worms, came back home and untangled some rigs then headed out to an East Cork beach.
When I got there I found that weed was initally a bit of a problem - thought I had bites only to reel in a large kelp stem
I set up three rods baited with rag and some tipped with razor. I cast one in close the other two at moderate distance.
The rod in close was the first to get a bite - a good size flounder at 40 cm and just over 1.5 lb.
It was quite for a while after that - then I got a small 20 cm flounder.
About an hour before high tide it got more frantic - I had a bite on one of the moderate distance rods - and hauled in another good flounder, 41 cm and 1.75 lb. Just as I was about to photograph it the rod in close had a strong knock - I retrieved another large flounder, again about 41 cm but heavier at just over 2 lb.
A little later I got another small flounder of 20 cm or so on one of the moderate distance rods. Shortly after that there was a knock on the rod in close - this time a flounder double, although both very small, again in the 20-25 cm range.
It went quite after that - as the tide began to drop weed again became a problem so I packed up at about 9.00 pm.
I was happy with the result, I have only once before got a 40 cm + flounder on the that beach so to get three in the one session was good.
I think the sea weed is a killer everywhere at the moment
