[Juan]

Took a buddy flounder fishing in PC's East Bay...
tally for 4 hours of chunking:

3 trillion lizard fish
4 dozen blow fish
1 mullet
14 grunts
1 remora.
and ...19 keeper flounder, most between 14 - 17", one 20".

Do you use the strips off the lizard fish for tipping the jigs when fishing for flounder? Saw that on the Howell Tackle fishing show, didn't know if it works. They said the flounder really like the lizard fish on tipped on the jigs like you would a shrimp.

Good job on the flounder, mighty tasty.

Lizardfish strips and chunks are a favorite for all fish.

Nice flatties.

From personal experience on several flounder trips with Juan, I can testify, he has their number. I hereby dub him "king of the Flatties." And the boy can catch some trout too.

Thanks OD, that's a real compliment coming from The trout catchin' master.

Yes, the lizard fish strips really work, I'd guess tipping the jig will increase your catch by at least 50%... A much better bait than the lizard fish strips is to use a strip from the white side of a flounder... I always save a few pieces of the white side when filleting them to use on the next trip.
