Could use some advice

[xFishdogx]

The one fish I have never successfully caught is flounder. I have a simple idea how to catch them but never have much luck. So can anyone give me some pointers on catching the flatties and some spots to try around Lewisetta part of the river?

Fish the drop offs. I use minnow/squid strip but some have good luck with bucktails. Get your drift set up when the tide is moving and you either go up or down the ledge. I use a flounder rig with one hook. Pull a search and you can get a lot for info. Good luck.

Caught fluke between #2 and #4 red cans on squid,on the channel side. hard head caught out by #2

I done a few searchs and have gotten a lot of info so I will give it a try. Is Cornfield Harbor a good place to fish? I have heard some good reports from that area

flounder are biting all over the river, drift ledges and dropoffs 10-30'. Strips of bluefish are great bait cut sharply into a point at the end.

Fishdog, I drifted along the drop off from Birthday Cake in towards Lynch Point Sunday but the little Croaker would not leave me alone. I was pulling in my line to avoid a crab pot and looked down to see a monster flattie trailing my flounder rig to the surface so I know they're there but don't know if they are many of them. There was a charter that Jack_K spotted over there but I couldn't get a fix on what he was going for. It it was small croaks, his clients must of been real happy.

BTW, your brother and his crew caught a nice one Sunday but I don't know where. Tell him to stop mooning me, will ya.

1 - If you are catching croaker the bottom is too flat - move to a steeper drop off.
2 - Once you find them, mark it on your GPS and hit that area hard they are likeley to be piled on top of each other.
3 - Use your motor to hold onto that position but don't anchor- I see too many people not put it together that they are only catching in the 2 - 3 minutes it takes to drift through the zone.

. . . just my $.02.

Fishdog,

The drop off along a line between the #2 and #4 cans out of Lewisetta is one of the best drops I've found poking around the Rivah. We ought to hit it later on this summer. I am down the week of 8/15 to 8/23. Hit me up.

Keep in mind that a flounder is an "ambush" fish. They prefer to wait for bait moving by them. Don't let your rig sit stationary for long...the croaker will be all over it.
The master, the late Dr. Jim Wright caught more than his share of big flatties and he preferred a drift of 1 to 1.5 knots. If the current or the wind doesn't get that for you, consider bumping your motor in and out of gear.

Sandy Point is pretty good too
