I've been fishing the wonderful beaches of the Aberdeenshire coast for a few years. I've had success catching Flounders and Dabs and recently a Plaice when I was out on the boat. However, one species I really wanted to catch was a Turbot. They don't grow to huge sizes on this coast (as far as I'm aware) but a Turbot had been in my sights on a few sessions previously.
The tides were right and for a change the conditions looked favourable - not too much swell or weed. My pal Gordon was first to land a Turbot whilst I seemed only to get Flounders (Flukes). I kept refreshing the baits and working at it while Gordon continued to land more Flounders and another Turbot.
Finally, the fish gods took pity on me and I was rewarded with a fantastic little Turbot. Oh my, target species achieved.
If you want to see the session the video is on the channel.
