Hey guys, this is my first post by the way.

I'm going to visit Mount Maunganui in the next week or so and I've recently been wanting to catch some flounder. I'm just curious if flounder can be caught in the Mount Maunganui Region and if so how deep would I need to go to find a legal sized flounder.

Just so you know, I'll be staying about 5KM away from the base of the Mount and staying on the side facing the open sea.
If anyone knows the answer can you please reply. ☺️
