Spring Spearfishing for big flatfish (Isle of Anglesey)

Spearfishing for Plaice and Flounder off Anglesey, North Wales. Equalled my PB Plaice from last year (55cm) and took several other excellent fish
Also saw numerous dover sole and turbot, and shot Bass to 68cm (7lb). Thornback Rays and also Blonde Rays were present in good numbers at the deeper marks
North Wales Spearfishing is outstanding, some of the very best in the UK, with numerous large Bass, Flatfish and Pollock, and fewy few divers venturing away from the popular marks in Devon and Cornwall
Equipment;
Gun - Salvimar Metal 85cm, single 16mm bang
Wetsuit - 8mm Polosub
Underwater footage - GoPro Hero4
Land footage - Sony A3600

    Banger video! Here in Norway the most effective way to hunt flatfish is to scan as much area as possible. So mostly svimming on the surface where you can see the bottom. Got a 6,5kg turbot and a couple of Dover sole last weekend. Spring and summer are the best seasons for flatfish!

    Have a lot of respect for leaving the ray. I've seen a few channels where the focus seems to be shoot the most fish from the most species. I took a ray in my early days of spearfishing. Pretty sure I had to soak the flesh for a while and clean off a fair bit of slime. Didn't really seem that sporting on reflection. I have mixed feelings on spearfishing now but I really enjoy seeing your tracking and have a lot of respect for the skill and craft here. I tend to be out more with a GoPro than a gun now, but it does come out from time to time...

    The EXACT same thing happened to me this weekend at the SAME spot! I think these flatties are on roids; they're so fat across the back!

    Ive been meaning to ask what size gun you're using around the coast here. I use a 75mm which ive found ideal for flattie hunting. Butni wonder if a slightly bigger gun would be ideal for both bass and flatties?

    Nice video! Cut the spine of the fish and they die instantly without suffering👍 If you want your fish to appear whole you can do it with a stab in the center of the neck (below the gills) and leave the head on.
