Flounder Fishing in Carmarthenshire

Reliable in channels and gutters; rag/lug or maddie on a flowing trace, best flood to HW.

Reliable in channels and along mud/sand edges; ragworm, maddies or small crab; best on the flood into dusk.

Common in the estuary influence; peeler crab or lug in the deeper runnels—work baits along channel edges on the pushing tide.

Reliable over sand/mud; fish worm or crab baits close to gutters on mid tide; keep leads light to avoid burying.

Reliable in gutters/channels; rag/mad, lug or small strips; best around HW on running water.

Reliable in the harbour/estuary channels; ragworm, lug or maddies on a short trace, fish mid to high water.

Very common on lug/mussel or rag; fish gutters and the first push of the flood, especially in coloured water.

Best on lug/rag or small fish baits in estuary channels; flood tide into dusk often most consistent.

Bread-and-butter catch; rag/lug or small crab baits fished on the flood, especially along the channel edge.

Reliable on lug/rag or small fish baits; target channel edges on the ebb and first of flood.

Can show in the surf and near any freshwater seepage; rag/lug, small crab, light leads.

Take rag/lug and small crab baits; work the edges of gutters and any slight colour, especially mid-tide.

Inside/near the harbour mouth on smaller baits (rag, maddie-style, small fish strips); good on neap tides.

Fish sandy/muddy seams either side of the point; lug/rag and small hooks, especially on the flooding tide.

Can show in the mixed ground; lug or rag, and try slightly shorter casts where the seabed transitions.

Often close in, especially after rain/coloured water; rag/lug on lighter gear when seas are calm.
