I've been challenged to catch a flounder on a line , I'd like to try fly rod but if I has to be bait I'll use my spinning rod . Anyone done it before ? Ant tips ? And yes I know a net is piss easy .

Put a sinker up where the swivel is for the trace and a hook at the back. Use a small crab as thats what they eat. it'll just sit there on the bottom bouncing around in the current and old mr flounder will swim by and munch him back. My first fish I caught in the river here was a flounder on a set up like that
That is a challenge!! maybe try a real light softbait or check this out mate

I have caught a couple on a Terakie rig by chance.
Someone said creamed corn is good bait and burly?
Small small hooks obviously
Im planning on giving it a go at some stage, was just guna set up a really light running trace on my spinning rod baited with a worm or crab
I should add , the challenge is set in lake Ellesmere . ( dirty brown salt water ) . I'm not sure if there are crabs in there Toby . I'm sure there is a dose to be caught down at the local huts there though . :thumbsup:
small hooks?
I dunno what creamed corn is:D
And is a Terakie a relation to our Tarakihi:D
Did it put up a scrap ? I've herd they are good fun on light tackle
Do a bit of cheating. Or scouting whateves. net some and check whats in its guts before the comp
