This year I spent much of my kayak fishing time chasing chromers, and not without success, but I also came across some remarkable flatties. Here are three specimens. Take a look if you’re into this sort of thing or if you just like slamming into the beach.

Being an honorable sportsman is way more important than what you catch.

That was a jedi master beach landing (0:30). Awesome fish, too.

Love those flatties!

But, I think you need a bigger fishfinder...

It works out most of the time but not always. Ask OG TexaSteve how I lost my sunglasses.

I still remember the good times we had last year. Hoping for a big school of salmon to descend on The Cove, PM me when you're going.

I can’t see them, but I saw them in person and caught a few myself the following day.  That spot has some really nice petrale sole and if the current didnt start ripping, I would have got more than the 6 I kept.  Its work to get to the flatfish grounds, but it can be very rewarding.
