Unfortunately the forecast looks terrible until at least next weekend, so we'll just have to play it by ear for the next floundering session. 20-30 knot winds are no good!
Adam I've only floundered beaches around the Chelsea area, but Seaford is close by and I'd imagine that you'd have just as good a chance there as anywhere, maybe better because it doesn't get as much fishing pressure as beaches closer to Melbourne.
My boss at work said he used to go floundering at Frankston beach back in the 60's.
Basically any sandy beach on this side of the bay is a chance for flounder at night, but rockier beaches may still have flounder on the sand patches. The frustating thing is that the fish can be there in numbers one night, and absent the following night, so the important thing is to keep at it, if you put the time in you will reap the rewards.
I went out on Friday night briefly before the wind got up, and speared a 51cm flathead, a smaller flathead, a mullet and a good gar. Spewing that the weather has turned ugly, because the fish are about right now.
