Never fished for flatfish before and I fancy having a go. I was just wondering is there any marks reliable around the Barry area for them.

lol If so how do I catch them?

Old harbour pretty much guaranteed flounder but very small....may get the odd bigger one but generally palm sized.....close in with maddys or small rag on size 6 hooks.

I'm not bothered about size just catching something a bit different from the usual. So sounds perfect for me.


Thanks buddy.

The trick is not to cast too far,they are 10-30 yrds out from the edge...on the smaller tides fish from the jetty or the beach in front of it,best to fish with very small hooks and very light gear.

Good afternoon Richie 123,

I have just completed putting together an ARTICLE titled "The Founder Odyssey" which will be published on my website "Ticker's World" in the next day or so, which will answer most of your questions , including details of an outing to the old harbour with my friend Richy 10 rods. I hope you can be patient because I think this piece will cover most of what you want to know.

Best regards,

Ticker (Derek)

Thanks again bud.... Just checking your talking about the small beach next to where the old outdoor swimming pool used to be?

Thanks Ticker much appreciated, I'm a big fan of you book Bass Fishing in south East Wales and use most of its principles in my bass fishing. So I'm really looking forward your article, as flounder is a fish that I know very little about let alone how to catch.

Hey guys ..normally I just read peoples posts for the info but since I've spent the past few weeks fishing down the old harbour after a mate of mine (breadofheaven) told me about a nice little mark for smaller fish on the light gear, that being said I've had flounder , sole ,rockling and even bass with 3 hook flappers on size 6 to 1/0 hooks..very enjoyable little mark down there.

You will get flattys from the small beach but better to fish from the stone jetty or the sand in front of it.

Heres a little vid from when I fished it with Derek (Ticker)
