years back i have had 1 or 2 from the mud flats on the wansbeck and also from the tyne, but really far up in the mud just behind the audi garage and AA call centre on scotswood road
not sure if its a thing that happens due to the mud if they are there all the time, or just the opposite to an albino effect?

Hi caught this the other night thought it was diseased until my mate told me the crack it was around 6 inches in length. Had some damage to its fin but swam away fine.

I was keeping an eye for them as well, I must have been taking photos when you weighed in, wish you had got hold of me, I would have taken photos for Margaret, did the other one have eyes both sides

Caught a 17cm double sided flounder on Sunday 23/05/10 from the slope near the silos at North Blyth. When I first picked it up I thought it had no eyes and wondered how it found the bait (rag worm). Turned it over to look for its eyes and realised it was a double sided liitle chap. It was lip hooked and went back fine.
