Ranked by how strongly flounder show at each mark. The chip on the right is today's live fish forecast.
Common over sand; best on small rag/madder or lug, especially on flooding tide near any freshwater run.
Common over sand; rag or lug baits in gutters on the flooding tide.
Common in the surf and along seams; ragworm, lug or crab—often best in spring/autumn with a bit of colour.
Common in shallow gullies on smaller tides; rag/lug or tipping a worm with crab can help; keep leads light enough to fish the trough.
Common when there’s a bit of colour in the water; lug or rag on size 2–1/0. Look for shallow gutters and runnels around low water into the first flood.
Found in shallower surf and near any freshwater influence; rag/lug, small fish strip; often best at dusk.
Shows well on smaller baits (lug/maddie); can be close in on the flood, especially after rain-coloured water.
Good around estuary influence and coloured water; rag, lug or small fish baits on moving tides.
Can show in quieter surf and near freshwater influence after rain; rag/lug baits and moderate casts.
Best around coloured water and after rain; rag/lug, maddies or small fish strips. Works well on slower parts of the tide.
Edge of estuary influence in quieter water; small worm baits and light leads; best on the flood with some colour.
