Guys, I've been out of fishing comps for a few months with this broken wrist, and as such, havent really been paying attention to whats working, and whats not.

 

Any guidance as to to rigs for the flattie comp??

 

My 2lb 1oz flounder in the club open was caught on a slow retrieve on a single hook rig, cast into shallow retrieved into deeper water, the rig consisted of a fluero red spoon, in the middle of a bunch of red and yellow fluero beads. Three maddies was the hook bait........................however, I am tempted to use my TS shore rig for flatties, it hasnt fauiled me thus far, and has outfished my normal rigs ten to one!!!

...use that then!

 

I use a simple two hook running ledger, using the KISS principle, whilst I am not the master of flounders, it sees me thorugh OK....!

Some of the "experts" stick with a plain patternoster.

 

I guess the most important thing is being in the right place at the right time. But how to you target the big one?

 

An old saying is fish the flats on the flood, and the channels on the ebb.
