Flatties in the wind !!!

[MRG2000]

Bait in the fridge ,didley squat on the box , only one thing to do ,go fishing for a few hours , toodled off to the Cardiff Barrage ,biteing ESE wind about 15mph . The dredger was there doing its stuff on the shipping channel ,so wasn`t too hopefull of seeing many fish as the channel is only 150 yds from the wall, so set up behind the advertising sign to shelter from the wind . Usual scratching rigs on size4`s ,lug and rag baits , fished for 3 hours ,a couple of whiting and flatties ,difficult to se the bites really ,came home when my fingers went numb.

2 of the flatties ,had orange spots ,so again i`m thinking Plaice , they were smooth,with a boney ridge behind the eyes ,and a herring bone pattern on the underside ,so i`m 99% sure ,but if anyone knows better ,any opinions are appreciated ......

Nice wee sesh Mike, might have another bash for the elusive flounder this week since the temp has dropped a bit over the last 2 or 3 days.
