  1. Beginners and Improvers
    Morning all, complete beginner to fishing in general but decided to get into beach/estuary. I’ve had a few ventures out and as fun as it is feeding the fish I’ve had not so much as a bite!

    Hi, I'm heading down to South Devon in mid - late September staying a few miles away from Slapton. I was looking to fish anywhere on the coastline between Salcombe and Dartmouth. I was hoping to do some lure fishing for bass and pollack and was wondering if there was a nice deep rocky bit of...
  3. Flatfish forum.
    Recently learnt that flatfish prey on gobies. I'm now wondering if you could livebait gobies/blennies/small fish etc. for Flounder or Plaice. Has anyone ever tried this or could provide me with further information? Any other unusual baits for flatfish?
  4. General Sea Angling Discussion
    Thought I'd chuck this on here to get some opinions... is this flattie which my mate caught a Flounder or a Plaice? I'm saying Flounder cos of the fins and the shape, other people are saying Plaice due to the spots! It doesn't look like a Plaice to me, but I may be wrong! What do people think?

    Hi guys, Used to fish saltfleet haven as a kid with my dad for the flattie, although this was in summer I've seen a few things online which suggest that flounder move into estuaries in the colder months?

    Hi, I have been fishing a little while and have mainly targeted mackerel, flat fish, small codling and the sorts.

  11. Float Fishing Forum
    Has anyone had any success float fishing for flounder? I've seen a person doing it before, but from 100 yards away or so and was successfully catching quite a few. Can't find much on the internet apart from one guy using freshwater floats in an estuary. Caught quite a few so the guide shows...
