Pilot Pier

[jeff123]

had a run on the pilot pier at hartlepool today, when i got there, there was a couple of lads fishing, they said they hadnt had a bite so it looked bleak,
a few more lad turned up and still not a fish between 6 fishing,
after 3 hours i had one last cast, got my 1st bite, and pulled a flatty in, so at least i never blanked,

you can snip the line as far down as you can , then nature takes its course if it lives or dies.

Looks big enough to eat, and probably one of the reasons people enjoy fishing.

It's your catch mate, you do what you want with it. Nowt worse on forums than anglers having a go at other anglers for keeping legally sized fish. And for what it is worth there is no legal minimum size for Flounder in the NE IFCA area anyway:

Minimum Landing Sizes
