30cm flounder nice?? We let them go in SA, ha ha ha!! As for flathead - we usually spear them around the 60-70cm size.........
I occasionally go floundering in the coorong in south australia. We went a few weeks ago and the biggest flounder we got wouldve been closer to 45cm........We also got 2 smaller ones.........a funny story with the big one coming........We also dab netted close to s dozen mullet - coorong mullet - one of the best tasting fish going around - trust me - 100% improvement on sea run mullet!!!!
Ok, the second flounder........
Well we started floundering but didnt take the net and we spotted heaps of mullet, but only saw 2 flounder, so when we went back to the car for a break and a beer, we decided to only take the net and concentrate on mullet. Wouldnt you believe it, we spotted this massive flounder.......We tried to work out how to net it, as i started saying ill go back and get the spear, but no, one of the blokes i was with jump on the damm thing and knocked it out!! So i was stuck bending over and picking it up - i got my arms all wet and it was freezing for the rest of the time........We also ended up getting lost. For those that dont know, the coorong is a shallow river - can get deep in sections but in the most part is is 2m and less..........well we ended up in about 1-1.5m of water and the wrong side of the river from our car, in the middle of the night with a torch short of batteries, so we had fun finding our way back, but eventually we did!!!
Cheers!

SA - the land of the bigger fish. The fish on the east, measure the least, but if you head west, you'll be bringing in the best!!
