With the store opening, I have not been able to do a whole lot of fishing this year. Last night my oldest son and I decided to try gigging Folly. Limited out and took a few sheeps and redfish as well. Saw 23 and Capt Tang, they seemed to have done well too.

Thats dinner for a year! Good job!
“In every species of fish I’ve angled for, it is the ones that have got away that thrill me the most, the ones that keep fresh in my memory. So I say it is good to lose fish. If we didn’t, much of the thrill of angling would be gone.” Ray Bergman
Wow…awesome night. How many inches is that biggest one on the bottom? Definition of a door mat!

Yeah, last night was good. New territory for me gigging but it was productive. Too bad that rain today ruined the gigging for the next week or so. Our big fish was 22", didn’t weigh it. Sells’ biggest was over 7lbs.
24" and 7.2 lbs

So, I guess I can forget about catching a flounder out of Folly this weekend! I was fishing off the dock a couple of weeks ago due to lift problems and actually had one of those doormats “accidentally” hooked (a long story). Anyway, when I got it to surface it decided otherwise, rolled over and ripped the knot on my hook. Some great looking flounder, congrats.
We were way up in the back near Clark Sound, so your flounder are safe.

Yeah, between my generator and his, it was a little noisier than usual back there on a wednesday night…good times though.
I will admit it was fun having company running down the other side of the creek

I am wondering who is going to volunteer to take me gigging for my 1st time . Dad and 2 brothers went all the time with dad. I was either too young or off playing Army for 20 years. I would love to watch n maybe try to gig a fish.
I DONT HAVE A BOAT
BUT LOVE TO FISH> HINT

I have no less than three or four people a week ask me to bring them a redfish. For each one I harvest, I release 50…maybe more. You of all people should know the numbers are better than they’ve been in what? 30 years? More?
Give me a break.
I gig them as often as possible.
