Went out Wednesday afternoon (Fourth of July) in search of flounder. Not a species we go after on rod and reel often, but knew of a spot that had been producing lately. Tried minnows and artificials, but no flounder. Moved to some other spots and eventually got 2 small redfish and a nice trout, all released.
I refused to be defeated by a fish, so that night/the next morning at 3 am I loaded up the boat and went gigging. Saw lots of flounder in the 14-16’’ range but was waiting on some larger ones. Finally couldn’t wait any longer and stuck a 15’’ fish, then got three 17’’ fish and headed back home with dinner.
