Lol now that sounds much more practical :rofl:4liters wrote:jeez, didn't you read the report? He spears himself in the foot and the blood acts as burley so he can catch fish with the handlineDougieK wrote:Nice bag of fish there!
So you tie your spear to your ankles then use the handline with your feet right?

Re: Flounder on fire!
Where would I be able to catch some flounder in PPB? I have never caught one and only see 5cm ones sometimes when i'm swimming during the day. Is seaford pier a good locations?
Re: Flounder on fire!
When I used to fish Kerfed rd pier, I would hear stories from old Italians and Greeks how they would spot light flounder from port melb to st kilda. Have seen spotlighters in the shallows on breathless nights but never tried the area myself.
My PB flounder came from mordialloc and was tad under 40cm. Most of my sessions have been on the Mornington peninsula bay beaches and numbers wise, always seem to do better but small a sacrifice in size. Also seem to get more flathead heading further south.
From my observations, flounder prefer very fine sand/mud with intermittent weed patches rather than coarse sand bottom.
Only started floundering 3-4 years ago and it’s a lot of fun and great exercise. Hardest part is getting a night with no breeze.

Re: Flounder on fire!
Forget the grammar school lagoon Geelong, last time I was there it's all silted up, just a black mud bottom now, years ago it was clean sand and good flounder territory, now not producing much only the odd 2" flounder swimming around.
