It didn't last long....and I couldn't get any worms over here early on !

...anyone going out tomorrow...to take advantage of the only window in prospect ?? It's still holding this evening. Alun.

He's away.....off skiing.....or on the piste !!

Apologies from me too......social engagement......no traveling for me. ALUN.

According to that and another paper I found, the timing of migration is temperature dependant. In colder years they move away earlier [and my experience concurs with that over the past couple of cold ones]....so, with the mild weather this winter, I hope they stay a bit later [i have had good catches in early Feb., but never as late as the school half term hol. in mid Feb]. Hope to give it a couple more goes [with a bit more confidence].

There's a little break in the wind tomorrow...allbeit a colder day, a big tide and short lived !! An opportunity to get a few of the last flounders before they go off to spawn. I've been trawling the net for more info on their movements and found this , which may interest a few of you ... Site fidelity, homing and spawning migrations of flounder Platichthys ...www.int-res.com/articles/theme/m430p183.pdf‎ Alun.

Great fish Dave...and well done on scooping the comp. Not sure I could have gone all day with just one bite !

Jim.....tomorrow's going to nice and calm

A little window coming for Sat. Anyone thinking of going out Sat instead of Sun ?? Looks like Sun [and the Comp.] will get blown off. Adam's busy.....so I'm free to crew Alun,

I know which I'd prefer in the pan !

Thanks Neal for setting those out from last year. Can you adjust the Report and Viewer pages to accept 2014 catches ? I hope to log something in soon !!!

What a nightmare !! I, like everyone else here, feel for you. Hope it can get sorted quickly and efficiently. Alun.

Shame I'm busy Boxing Day........looks like the only day when the wind drops in the forecasts !!

Final word........... Gunnel is just as acceptable a spelling as Gunwale .......in OED.

[ Don't even get me started on less and fewer! Terry.] .......another is the use of 'disinterested' when they mean 'uninterested' ....but who's interested??

too ...two ...to ...irrelevant to most [probably ] txt speak rules !!

Shall we have a grammar corner......over ... there / they're/ their....where we can park stuff / examples ??? I'm all for raising standards !!

Blinded my the low , bright morning sun ?? .........or just blind??

Full size pics are in the gallery.

........and what 's in it.......
