defo a plaice, flounder dont have the klingon forehead! might be a hybrid as its spots are not very bright.

good report gary, never fished the boat house before did you fish directly infront of it or to the right on the cleaner ground? And looking at your flatty proberly say plaice just looking at the shape of the fins(charlton beat me to it)

walked down the left hand side of the boathouse and fished straight out there, never been there before so wasnt sure where was best, didnt lose any gear, but got a bit of kelp!!

nice flounder mate,which part of the walkway did ya get the flatty.
big well done.

I was right on the corner facing the groyne mate.

The flattie was caught just past the wooden jetty on the corner, wasnt that far out really.

At first I thought it was a Plaice, mainly because Ive never caught a flounder that size before, lol, and the orange spots on it. But after looking at other photos, I'm still not sure.

It was quite a strong little thing like, certainly didnt like getting near the surface.

There's anglers and there's danglers thats all I've got to say !

[Cod,cod,cod!]

I don't think I've knowingly caught a plaice. I must be a dangler as well.

Put your dummy back in

[g.ordon]

Just trying to estimate how many top quality Plaice ave unknowingly lobbed back over the years.

[garyp]

What have I started here??? LOL

Looks very like a Plaice to me, as said the lumps on the head are a giveaway. One way to be absolutely certain on the beach is to rub your finger along the lateral line towards the head. Flounder are very rough while a Plaice will be completely smooth.

[Cod,cod,cod!]

It's a flatty! It's a piece of ****!

You can tell the anglers from the danglers on here though.

[garyp]

It's. A flatty mate. Which beats a blank anyday. Lol
