Well done guys
Tim,
If you want flounder try the toll bridge river Adur early to mid November, North side, in the gulley east of the central island. No major cast required just a gentle lob just to the side of the bank. Believe me you can catch some nice ones there. Red rag and small orange beads on a simple running trace, peeler if you can get it, fishes best at night low tide up. A very warm coat is required :cold:
Glad to see you had some fun in the harbour, I might just be there in the morning, early doors for the bass and mullet. Yet again the weather means no boat comp fishing for me.
