Sweet then, just buy one and flop it out when hes not looking

finally something I may know about if a kiwi flounder eats the same as a pommy flounder, take a light salmon spoon , remove the trebles and put 4 inches of mono in its place with a smallish hook ( 6-10) long shank, baited with worm.

Slow retrieve if not to snaggy, the flounder only attracted by the spoon but eats the worm.

This is how I used to get em as a kid back in blighty any how, should work here eh ?

Saying that I've only tried and caught with net here so wtf would I know

If its salt water there has to be crabs,like spiders on land your never more than a meter from one.

Net some and take a look what they are eating Munsey, yea fight pretty well for a short burst like terakey.

Its Terror ki!!!

Used to catch lots of flounder in the UK which are similar to the ones here and feed on worms, small crabs and other crustaceans.
We used to catch them in estuaries and on sandy beaches, often at night.
Also used to catch some from a shallow bay at night, would use the spot light to see them on the bottom, then cast a worm that I'd dug from the beach to them which was quite successful.

I have heard a doll fly on a sinking line. Draw it across the bottom in short bursts so it kicks up the mud.
