A New Spot for Spring

Seascale Cumbria.
Hour and a half down to low.
Frozen Lug.

Ive seen people fishing here before but it's a long way across the beach and i'm to lazy to go that far after a days work so I tend to stick to roughly the same area plus it looks just the same as the rest of the beach so I've never bothered but I finished work a bit earlier than normal and had more time so thought I'd give it a go.

I passed this nasty piece of work on the way  



Must have been 400 yrds long  

My idea was to let the rod fish itself while I went looking for fresh lug to pump.



After only finding two worms I went back to the rod to change baits and I just saw the tip rattle a little then it stopped so I left it for a minute but nothing further happened so I wound in and there was a little bit of wieght on the end which I thought was just the lead stuck in the sand but when it stayed heavy after a good few turns I let a little smile cross my face  

A Flounder I thought as it's clean white underneath showed first as it came out of the water but when I turned it over and saw it's red spots I was delighted and had a very big smile on my face  




It was just going dark too so I was very lucky I think as they say Plaice dont feed at night  

Low water came and went and the flood had begun but I was hungry and needed my supper (bangers and mash   ) so that was my one and only fish and my only bite too  
Still that's fishing for you and I always think a fish on the first cast is unlucky but in this case I was quite happy  

Well done logger

Nice one Logger and some nice pictures. Hope the bangers and mash tasted as good as it sounded.
