Winter Flounder

[Brewlugger]

With the cold wind and rain yesterday I wasn't expecting much but I was lucky to get one that hit on mussels. My plan for today was some back bay Bass fishing but I tried for some Flatties again and caught the skunk. I'm hoping to give it another try tomorrow.

Very nice. I havent caught one in a few years.

Marine park red bank used to be a great early season spot in March in the 80s. Such a long time ago.

Wish we had the fishery in Shark river we once had .
But unless they dredge all the parking lot silt from the entire river that area will never be able to hold the fish it once did .

Was the official spring kick off .

Whatever happened to flounder near PP Hospital?
Haven’t fished there in 35 years.

Some of the very best flounder occurred in the rivers , years back ! Shrewsbury and Navesink along with BB . On a tide u fill a cooler if u so desired !
It’s tough today however u can still catch them in RB while striper fishing !

I grew up right on RB, as a kid we would catch flounder on 3/0 hooks with worms meant for stripers. Some of them were 17-18 inches. Aaahhhh the good old days.

There are still areas in the back that get pretty stacked up with flounder. No one puts in the time bc of the 2 fish limit. I poked and prodded last fall with success after a few scouting trips. Zero other anglers seen which was quite nice!

Don’t forget fishing for them outside the restricted area off the Naval Pier, Romar Shoal & The Cedars

I gave it a try this morning. Nothing doing for me but I had to leave early. It was good to get out this weekend and all the best and good luck to all this coming season.

Good tide this week to give flounder a shot.....warm temps and outgoing...just sayin.
