Many Happy Returns Mark.
I'm sure you won't be fishing today !! ... but , perhaps, you'll get more trips in in the next year than you did since last birthday ??
Have a good day and HAPPY BIRTHDAY
Best wishes,
Alun.
Been catching flounders........but not any more !!!
Lots last week...... then 4 on this Weds...but getting smaller...... just one tiddler today !!
One more trip over weekend........ to confirm they've gone !
Alun.
Almost gone [?????] !! .........short session today...... only 4, with 2 of those being tiddlers !!
Could have been the quantity of mucky river water coming down and hordes of crabs.
Will give it another go on Fri to see if this is the end of the season.
Alun.
Why didn't you use this from after the event??

"do you eat the roe alun?"
.....sometimes !! the soft roe has a better texture [creamy!]; the hard roe can be a dry & gritty texture.
The fish is better........and to honest, recently we've had so much. I haven't bothered with the roe.
........all different soon !
.......Flounders , that is !!
Out for a short session today [ busy tomorrow and Sun looks wet !]
Had very little confidence of finding any fish..... as the flounders I've been catching recently are fit to burst with roe....... combined with almost no tide at all today and having to make do with shop-bought "micro-" worms !
Nevertheless I did manage a few....... not quite the size of late , nor the number .......just got into double figures; not too bad for an afternoon session.
Wonder if they'll still be any next week ?? ..... can't be much longer ??
Alun.
I'm looking at forecasts giving neek week with calm days and not cold , as High pressure comes in with light W to NW breeze
Shame the tides are so big !!
Should be nice weather to get out ... and chase the end of the cod and whiting [ ???].

Flounders make good eating ....esp this time of year when they are really fat !!
Perhaps I'll see you tomorrow Nige !!
