Two of my mates were fishing infront of the grotto last night and one said he caught a flatty. it was a fair size so he took it home for his grandad (ex fish monger) who said it was a 3 pound turbot nd it was v rare round these parts?

There have always been Turbot from the beaches. Usually they are very small but sometimes there are larger. Warkworth can chuck out decent ones now and again and Marsden probably too. It's not always about Global Warming

As a young child at Boulmer 30 years ago, me and my mates caught and lost a Turbot that was the size of a bin lid. Straight down from the pub. We saw it as we were playing in the water and placed an oar on it to stop it swimming off. Unfortunately as we tried to lift it, it was too heavy, shook itself free of our grasp and swam off.
