The Flounders Are Here.

Hythe Reclaimed land has seen the first wave of Flounders this year with some very nice sized ones coming in already.

 

Shop regular Brendan Jones and his girlfriend Lauren Hackett managed 2 very good fish yesterday with the biggest one (caught by Lauren) weighing nearly 2 1/2lb and the second one not too far behind that.

 The couple fished from the side of Hythe Marina off of the rocks just before the red gate of the reclaimed land.

Brendan told me they used long flowing traces on a running rig with small hooks and small leads to catch the fish and a large clump of Ragworm was the killer bait in the day.

 The pair started to catch the fish on the run-off and the bites were coming thick and fast. If they had longer to fish he assures me they would have caught more fish but unfortunately time was not on their side and they had to leave.

 

 Well done guys.
