didi you fish by the sailing club ?

we fished by the sailing club, NOT THE COMPOUND. The club is situated on thornbeck avenue, park by the houses walk along the dunes at the side of the club, turn left walk 200 yards to the first pipe and fish We fished 2 up and 2 down, most of the fish were caught on rag and mackerel with lug not doing very good. Probably fish it again next weekend

Great report Mark,18 flounders WOW.Place will be packed out next weekend,after reading this report.

huge tide next week mate, depends on the weather.
the wind today must have put a couple of feet on the tide.

Mark thanks mate made the rig as soon as I got home just copied the one you showed me will get some more bits and bobs to make a few up

mal watch your fingers when making rigs,i make,and sell them cheaper than jonos or stanley tackel

do u put hooks on though ?

maybe they come in "kit form"

all flounder rigs are made from fine black cotton and fine wire pins<nappy/tie pins>direct from china,sizes vary depending on fish, wether you wish to catch or lose 5yards out.all rigs have attractors on<curried chicken oil/sardine or pilchard flavord with a pinch of garlic oil etc.snood lenths vary from 3ml to 876ml depending on tide/wind direction and if your mrs lets you go.if want to make these rigs yourself all the bits will be for sale at dunnies on monday night
