Fished over top water on the school sand bank. Good days fishing to be had by all. Didn't have many casts without fish. Generally the fish were small schoolies up to 2lb, but we also caught a good number of nice plump flounders with a couple over 16". Most of the flounders came on the outgoing tide

Results:
1st Chris Isaac Bass 4 1/2 lbs
2nd John Hearn Codling
