Flounder fishing beneath a setting sun

by | posted in: Sea Angling, Sidebar | 0

The tranquil Taw estuary bathed in the light of a setting sun. An awesome back drop to a spot of fishing for the humble and obliging flounder. Many thanks to Kyle Blackmore for allowing me to use his pictures. On light tackle flounder can give great sport and are ideal species for junior anglers to target over the coming half term. There is also every chance of a bass with a few good sized fish present.

The Taw estuary is fishing well for quality flounder with every chance of that elusive 2lb plus specimen before the end of the year, John Shapland has been targetting flounder over the past few days landing near specimens of 1lb 15oz, 1lb 14.5oz and 1lb 14oz.

One of the local mystery’s is the well established fact that Taw estuary flounder tend to grow bigger than Torridge estuary Flounder?
