Flounder Report

Went out tonight for a couple of reasons. First, try and find some soft shells with the full moon out and second, to see all those flounder that should be stacked up.

Found about 10-15 soft shells, only 2 legal. Got one but she was already too hard. Did get to watch a smaller one molt....very cool.

Now, for the flounder. They were spooky because of the moon. Saw 3 legal, a few shorts and quite a few babies. That's about the normal amount for the 4 miles I walk, no change from last year that I see despite the closure. I realize that this isn't a research study, just my observation from tonight.

Thanks for the report!! I was wondering how much it had changed. I wanted to go looking but don't think my little heart could stand seeing a bunch of doormats and just cruising on so I won't tempt myself.

Where were you if you don't mind me asking? I doubt there is any real increase in numbers but there should be plenty of fish laying up with no one harvesting them . I haven't been to look but I don't think you can see the bottom where I usually fish due to water clarity

Nice!..... I would whittle a gig from bamboo off someone’s umbrella tent and would have been after that one in a hurry.
Believe me I made an effort. haha

Oak Island, 2ft is about the max you can see right now.

Yeah a friend was catching them last week and said he couldn't see how to net them with out pulling them out the water. He was probably east of where you are
