Picked up both kids from their respective freinds places and took them outside away from their phones for a bit.
Did a few exploratory drags for flounder.
Went pretty well for the first time and none of my nets are designed as drag nets.
The girl was even surprisingly uselfull being a bit taller than the boy.
It was quite weedy which was a bit of a pain and we got 5 rays but as they are not in the net long they are easy to get out.
One side affect of dragging rather than setting I noticed is that when dragging onto shore lots and lots like 50 or more tiny flounder from about as long as a matchbox to about 100mm long get pulled from the shallows with all the weed...most of em get straight back in as of course they are too small to get meshed but just something I never saw when set netting.
Big fat flounders, less weed and rays would be nice.
