    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.

    Great effort and forward thinking! Excellent way to work around the stupidity! You rotten bugger ..where is the wetsuit for your lass?
    Even better to know small flounder are in good numbers.

    She is in a wetsuit, she has just taken it half off.
    Warm as I didn't bother with my wettie would have been too hot.

    Nice I had a couple of kingies come up at the back of the boat a while ago but were only there for 20 seconds. Just enough time for a tease then off they went
