Port carlisle can be worth a visit in april for flounders there still a bit on the thin side but enough of them about for a busy session

think we had more flounder reports from carlisle from spoonman to make a man insane last year ... why when ya will get them local no need to travel that far

When do the flounders come in the wear biz park/timber beach areas? (in numbers)

What species would you like to target, the likes of Dumfries around the balcary area will see lots of action from doggies and flatties close in and if your lucky you may just pick up a ray. Best to fish on the smaller tides as the big tides are horrendous for trying to hold bottom. Bait wise up that way I normally just take a few packs of small sandeel, a good tip for targeting the doggies is too snap the barb of your hooks to make it easier for getting it out of there gobs.
