South Coast Flounder hunt and PB bass.

[Goateeblank]

Whenever I used to target flounder in Poole harbour I always caught bass and no flounder was ever seen. Target bass and no fish to be seen.
Marvellous work

We thought the same, then a wham bam hour on the fish!

Sublime angling and some quality fish. It was like we'd gone back 12 years. Always happy to see you land fish. We know exactly what to do next time

Yeah get in my spot! No pressure though, ha, ha.

 

[Goateeblank]

Great write up , pics and some cracking fish caught by you once again. Nice one

Thanks. Had a few good sessions lately on the big boy fish!

 

[Goateeblank]

Superb Keith, very well done on the PB, thats some lovely fish you have had out

Thanks Bob. 3 recent PB's and smashing my first double recently has made for good times.. Need one more species to beat my species best.

Great report and well done on the bass

Thanks. It was a good tussle on the light gear.

 

[Goateeblank]

Excellent bit of close up work the GB

Apart from fishing straight down on piers, it was all ridiculously close in. It did not feel right, but it certainly worked.

Great report and photos Goatee! Darn good read!
Some very pretty Flounder (especially the last one) and well done on a lovely PB Bass!

Thanks. Glad you enjoyed. I had a good photographer too! Just looked again and all righties. I have had one right and one left in this spot before.

 

[Goateeblank]

Cracking report again enjoy these well done

Thanks and happy to hear it mate. Writing the reports is like re-living the moment.

 

[Goateeblank]

Well done both. Cracking report & pics.

Thanks. Top team! Its gone down well on local pages, as it could signal a return of the flounder which used to carpet local waters.

Nice haul goat beard

Ha, ha. I use facial hair to bind the worm on. That's my secret!

 

[Goateeblank]

Good session goatee.

Thanks mate. Not been fishing as much as usual, but had some quality PB fish of late. Ideally l need one more fish to beat my species record, but not too bothered about that. There is always next year.

I have tried to have the first of the year. My best being one at 10.30 on New Years day a couple of years back! When l served my time in late the 70's. One of the guys used to fish in the lunch time and would often chuck 4 or 5 in the sink for anyone to take for their tea. Southampton water is much cleaner now, with less discharges into it which affects the food chain, it's teeming with small bass which could be eating the flounder fry and l have heard that the cruise ships have exhaust scrubbers to keep the air pollutiin down, but then the contaminants are pumped into the water making it acidic. None of that helps. As is the standing joke of the report, l seem to do ok on them.
