    Yep. Flounder are fantastic VC.
    It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms

    I forgot how good flounder was. Sneeze put me on to some that I had to fillet because we didnt have a pan large enough to fry up whole. They were bloody brilliant eating. I am with sneeze on the fish front. I have never eaten bad snapper. Love rig, but not as much as snapper.

    Bluenose number is 1. Cold smoked trumpeter is up there as well.

    Flounder / Sole is cheap at the moment
    Sole & Flounder, Skin On Bone Out Fillets, Frozen

    any fish I buy comes from these guys, good selection and price (specials)
    All those with dogs waiting no longer fear death. Those with many dogs waiting even welcome it in it's time.

    Cant catch Mahi Mahi here...................yet. Fish is always cheaper to buy than to catch it using your own boat. If I just wanted to eat fish would have sold it years ago, I fish for other reasons not least of which is no one can call me in to work!!

    I love catching snapper but once they are big enough to deserve the title ( like 400mm plus) they turn into a pretty shit eating fish imho.
    I like most fish but turbot would be my no1 inshore eating fish,so creamy but probably because its so rare that i get to eat it.
    Gotta love flounder too tho.
    my uncle raved about turbot and and used to drop a feed off now and then when he was fishing out of westport. I thought it was just ok. I like the texture of snapper in the 10-15lb range.I also much prefer mutton over lamb, dont like veal at all and one feed of whitebait a year is plenty. Maybe Im just a bit odd

    Next thing you will tell me, is that it was caught where we spent a lot of time in 3 foot of water?................Dont.

    Nice fish all the same! Almost twice the size of my best snapper.
