well we have just had the torbay sea angling festival for the past 10 days and as far as im aware only 2 fish have been brought to the scales from the river teign... both of them were mullet... however on saying that there isnt many anglers that will target flounder in the teign this month but usually there is a few who try the river to win the best flounder from teign prize!

best fish in the festival so far ( it finishes 7:59pm sunday) is a black bream of 6lb 2oz from wreck which is taking the best fish overall i believe from shore its a conger 36lb 2oz (weighed in tonight apparantly) and if not its a bull huss of 11lbs.. whatever they are all 180+% of specimen ratings which means i now need to get a grey mullet of 7lb 12oz or more.... hmm i think not! good luck in the flounder championships!

Had a rite up in the local paper on weds saying about all the flounder that got netted from the ground between the mouth of the teign and exe last year and they rekon thats why there wasnt many caugt last year but netters wont be targeting that area this year

dunno how they no that but just hope they dont

Hey Phil,
Don't know how much you know of the Teign flounders so sorry if you already know this. They love peeler crab, the locals use nothing else. However, just outside the mouth of the river I've had quite large flounder on live sandeel.....not a lot of use as it's banned inside the river but just maybe a dead sandeel might work?
Cheers. Jules.

Hello, I havent been on here for a while, but have managed to get a few days fishing on my doorstep (teign), been surprised by the amount of flatties i have caught whilst fishing for other species. I have had 3 this week, granted not very big but still flounders.

Having the festival on Dec 3rd, im sure the fishing wont be as bad as last yr, but the peelers are in the river so im sure the fish will follow.

Thanks , Luke, fished the river Lougher, S/Wales today might as well have fished in my garden?
Two lads up river from me had one bass out about 4.5ib/5lb spinning,I was fishing the bottom, blow lug,black lug,crab,madies, razor, everything but the kitchen sink i threw at them ? nothing mate still early yet though down here next month onwards now different kettle of fish then MATCHES galore then ! Stroll on next month
Thanks Phil
