The distinct lack of flounders at this time of year may not encourage a lot of members to fish the comp. Would it be prudent to postpone the comp. until early January, in the hope that the "flatties" make a showing?
Global warming perhaps!

More like the harbour being over netted Rich !
Come to think of it most of Poole Bay.
The lack of flounders appears to be the same in Christchurch as well.
Probably same reason, greedy buggers using them for pot bait, scandalous.
I cannot see how, the flounders have been around for years, and we know they have been netting them for the last few years in the harbour...........then they have obviously decimated the breeding stocks.
Hope you have all sent your complaints to Southern IFCA
