yea it was good 20 min after my above post when I set the net but going by the wind at mine now it will be full wet weathers to pick it back up.

Most would just call them flounder but what we have there is a yellow belly flounder on the left (most commonally confused with a greenback flounder) and a black or river flounder on the right.
Greenbacks look just like yellow bellys but are broader in shape closer to a sandflounder.

Kinda like Fallow colour phases one must be somewhat of an aficionado to pick the differences but there is differences.

sand flounder or "diamonds" are commonly caught up north I understand or locally in trawls but i have only ever caught two in many many hundreds of flounder comprising mostly of Yellow belly and Green back with mayby 10-15% black or river flounder.

Sorry VC can't like that first post....bloody mongrels, 0800 poacher should sort that one out.

Just showed your second post to the old man. Very interesting as we regularly get those spotty ones (often with red spots) over on the coast.

The place where we catch them is behind a sandbar in a rivermouth. So there you have it - river flounder !! Cheers mate

Yes I believe I could target them specifically if I felt like it.........days like today make me want to give it a go.

It is said"a picture is worth a thousand words"but this has no mention of silly chinamen,two of which were not even hooked,they clamped down on the 5 bar 0 horizontal and were not going to give up the bait.
Or the hoards of spikey dogs.one got me in the wrist.
Good day,water 11.5 ° no wind wee northerly swell.

I would have called them big and small flounder VC

Orgainised another social club trip for this weekend. A fishing charter this time instead of hunting.
Staying at the wilderness lodge on Durvil island and fishing from the "Mantaray"

Cheers Dennis.

One lucky, fat kingfish from a few days ago. I'm pretty controlled about how many I kill. If there's kingfish in the freezer, they get released. This one was literally two meals away from being turned in to sashimi/BBQ steaks/kebabs.

School hols, my folks are up. Dad and me out for a quick fish , in rather Shit weather (the pic doesn't tell the true story, in the Shit stuff I was a bit busy to take pics.....). However, got a feed for us and the neighbors.



Very interesting 30mins or so, a 1 to 1.2m kingie was nosing our burley pot. I dropped pillies, squid, 3x lures and a bloody live Trev on its nose - nothing. I guess they don't get big by being dumb. Awesome to see .


Would have liked to have caught it though........
