Econfina 5/31
Got out on the water with my wife and dad a little before lunchtime. Fishing was not as fast as it has been for the past few weeks, but we did ok.
Fished until a huge squall line moved in from around Perry. A storm like that rolling in sure is a sight to behold (and to run from! ) when you are out on the water.

Mannnnnnnn! Look at that flattie!!!!!
Three-fourths of the Earth's surface is water, and one-fourth is land. It is quite clear that the good Lord intended us to spend triple the amount of time fishing as taking care of the lawn. ~Chuck Clark

Re: Econfina 5/31
Good day. How big was the flattie?
Re: Econfina 5/31
The big flounder was 19". Caught it on the last cast before having to run in from the storm.
Re: Econfina 5/31
Were you fishing for the flounder? Did you target flounder or just catch fishing for trout?
A lot of flounder are inshore now and I was needing a little help in rigging and catching them. All we catch are by accident but caught several the last couple of times we fished. Nothing as big as your big one.

Re: Econfina 5/31
We started catching them by accident when fishing for trout, but we were catching enough of them recently that we started fishing for them. The past few trips though, we have been fishing for flounder and end up catching trout by accident. I just put a gulp on a jig head and bounce it along the bottom and hope for the best.
Re: Econfina 5/31
I've made up a flounder rig consisting of a weight on the end with two leaders with hook and buck-tails tied above that at intervals which will also be tipped with a gulp shad or shrimp. I also have some rods that the tips have been broken and repaired but now are shorter and stiffer. I figure they will be better to gig the rig up and down as we drift.
I was told that you have to hit the flounder with the weight to wake him up to bite the bait.
We'll see on our next trip.
Thanks for answering and for the information.
Ya'll did good!
