lofty Posted January 16, 2015 Report Posted January 16, 2015 Had a session today in the harbour. Tried a few places before I found a sweet spot. Had ten flounders, all around the 2lb + mark Launched at Baitor and noticed this for the first time. A little bit cool Through the first bridge and saw Graham on the Cheetah heading out. Passed one of many old scrapers once through the second bridge that they raised in my honour Once I found them it was good fishing for two hours [url=http://s1099.photobucket.com/user/photolofty/media/2015/1037923B-BD94-4EAA-8719-D303CA13C5A8.jpg.html][/url] Headed back as I didn't like the look of the clouds. They raised the other bridge for me this time Short cut through Fishermans Dock and waved to a siren Got back to the carpark, loaded, got in the car and then the hailstones fell. Perfect timing. A great little session with 20 lbs worth of flounder landed. Ragworm baits The rigs I used where two hook boom rigs, 8 lb hook length , size 4 Kamasan match hooks,with various 8mm beads. The orange and white bead combo out fished the others Stuie, Steve S, Kingfisher 126 and 10 others 13 Quote

spireangler Posted January 17, 2015 Report Posted January 17, 2015 Sorry alun if you look on the angling trust web site the specimen size for flounder in area D is I think 2 lbs and has been since 2013 when the areas where redefined (there where also changes to the spec sizes for cod and tub gurnard for our area as well) Steve Quote
lofty Posted January 17, 2015 Author Report Posted January 17, 2015 What do you mean!!!!! Recognise? RECOGNISE??!??!?! I went to great lengths to make sure I wasn't followed to give the mark away. See. Told you. Kingfisher 126, Steve S, fred64 and 2 others 5 Quote
Maverick Martin Posted January 17, 2015 Report Posted January 17, 2015 I think as a club we do not adhere to all the specimen sizes recommended by the wessex AT, Perhaps Neal could clarify if flounder specimen size for us remains at 2.5lb Quote
Maverick Martin Posted January 18, 2015 Report Posted January 18, 2015 Just checked our specimen sizes being used this year and flounder are registered as 100% = 2lb 8oz Quote
