Well had a session up at druridge after a phone call off Wayne(Eastlake, also off this site) on the 10/07/10 he said he fancied hittin druridge so we met up and collected some fresh mackerel on the spinner wayne had 9 and a had 3 but great sport on light gear, and that was our bait sorted(and me tea) for druridge along with some lug and rag.

so we arrived at driridge 6:30 and glad the wind had dropped off, sea was pretty calm and very clear, was hoping for a Turbot as a had never caught one before and conditiond where lookin good

so we set up in a nice spot and could see a couple gullys and sand bars and it wasnt long before we where into fish, it was pretty much constant action
double shots of Flounder and Turbot(which we where really pleased with as it was a new species for both of us)

this was my first turbot and was over the moon as it was my first one

pic looking across beach towards wayne

All in all a canny session, me taking 8 flounder(biggest34cm) and 2 turbot
and wayne taking 3 flounder and 2 turbot(largest of the session)

also those turbot have very large mouths for there size the bigger one wayne caught had an enormous mouth

all fish returned safley, hopfully those turbot will have put on a pound or so next time we catch them


also more pics to follow off wayne as my phone ran oota battery

Is this the first year that turbot have turned up in numbers round here? if so they are obviously now established and year on year they should get bigger, as long as the tiddlers are put back.
