Managed to get the night off work tonight so headed over to port Carlisle this morning after last nights night shift. I was keen to try out and christen my new rod and reel (conoflex flattie fanatic and Penn slammer fixed spool reel. I arrived at 12 o'clock(ish) and got set up on the mud. It wasn't long till the bore came and the water flooded in very quickly due to the tide being quite a big one. The flounders were a little bit slow to come on today, nearly an hour after the bore before the first one took my bait, I needn't have worried though it was fish after fish after fish for the next 3 hours fishing off the grassy bank. Nothing huge but a few decent ones around a pound and a half, all fish taken on fresh crab. Well and truly christened the new gear. I used 2 rods and had about 40(ish)fish out including many double shots. Going to get a bit sleep in the car now, been awake since 11am yesterday I'm completely knackered. Going to fish top of the water through the night and top of the water tomorrow afternoon before I drive back home. Don't know wether to fish the same spot or try somewhere else on the solway, maybe silloth or another area of port Carlisle.
