We had some success on our trip to OBX this past weekend, fishing in the 20 - 40 mph winds (sustained 30+ Saturday night). We fished near the Oregon Inlet Bridge and tore up the flounder on mullet, shiners, spot, and speck rigs. A buddy and I caught maybe 20 total. We abandoned the flounder catching tactics in hopes of catching something else, as we saw a few drum caught nearby. We also caught one stargazer and a blue at about six pounds. Surprizingly that was the only blue we caught.
What I am amazed at is how rough the water was to be catching flounder. Up here in Maryland, if water is that rough and dirty from wind and rain, people would basically say, "No point in fishin for flounder today!"
Anyone else have success this past weekend?
