Not exactly what I was after, but following a few hours of float-fishing rag, spinning lures and trying a big rag/bluey bait on the bottom at Dunstanburgh Castle, I ended up catching tons of flatties on the beach. Some decent ones and it was good to get used to using braid for the first time.[ATTACH]7215[/ATTACH]

Cheers Davy. I was hoping a bonus turbot might show up but it was all flounders - the sea-bed must have been covered in them cos it was full hook-ups every cast. Bit disappointed to get nothing on the point off the rocks but like you say it's still a relaxing day out in the sun. No complaints at all

What bait were the flatties taking? Were they far out or close in? Where abouts were you on Embleton beach? Sorry for all the questions, thinking of a flattie session next weekend to kick off my Summer!Comment

No bother mate. The flatties were taking bluey and ragworm. Simple two-hook flappers. Size 2 hooks. They were feeding hard on the ebb tide and it went quiet at low water. I kept moving around on the beach and, as usual, the flounders were very close in. 15-30 yards is easily far enough. Grip leads and plain leads both worked just as well. Hope it helps. (One thing - if it's a calm sea - fish very very light because flounders don't offer much of a battle!
)

Great mate. Thanks. Would it be worth fishing the flood or is the ebb a better bet?Comment

Not sure, but I would choose to start at low water and fish the tide up. I think they just like it when the tide is moving. It was a big tide when I was there and the ebb fished well.PBs...Cod 8lb2oz.. Turbot 3lb2oz.. Whiting 1lb8oz.. Coalie 1lb9oz.. Flounder 1lb7oz.. Dab 15oz.. Plaice 13oz.. Bass 1lb 6ozComment
