I went out yesterday just before midday to try my hand at flounder fishing... I fished between Greenvale Creek & #8 for a while and then moved to just in front of #8.
I was drifting slow (<1mph) with a minnow/squid sandwich but I never saw a flounder. What I did see were some large croakers. I took home 4 croakers in the 1.5 to 2.0 lbs range. They took the minnows!
Since they have to be 19" to keep I don't know if it's really worth it but I like trying nonetheless. I always use hooks that'll rust out quickly because when I do catch them I catch a lot of short flounders and they're often hooked pretty deep.
Oh well... I had fun!
