Wow yes ok that is a small estuary, I am fishing in much bigger water , but the on Mark I fish can't be that much bigger, what would you say is the width mate

 

[Mr Fish]

Wow yes ok that is a small estuary, I am fishing in much bigger water ,

And that’s probably about two thirds of the tide. That is a fairly narrow point, to be fair, but the channels you fish in are never much more than that.
Flounder to 2lb plus though ??‍ Average about 1-1.5, to be fair

Nice size flounder, we struggle with the flounder fishing, will give it another go this year , they have to be there but the cockle trawlers are de storing the middle bed that they might feed on ,

That looks awesome , sand bat in front, can you fish from it at low

Yes. I am fishing straight into the deep water channel, probably about 20 metre deep. at low tide. Every thing past that sandbank dries up over low

 

[Mukiwa]

This is one of my bass marks

Lovely, deep deep water, tide must run though there

Hammers through. You can really only fish it the last two or three of the ebb and first two of the flood

You can walk right across my river in some places if you wanted to, lol

Lol, but you do catch some lovely flounder though

 

[Valleyboy]

Most of it. It is probably 5 miles wide and it goes down to a couple of 200 m wide channels

We couldn’t afford one 500 yards wide

[Mr Fish]

It does get bigger further down, but never that big...
