Remember the tiny mouths. A striper hook is a bit large fro flounder.

i've never tried it but i'd say, if you're familiar with it, fishing for them like you fish for carp but with a heavy enough weight to hold it in whatever current is there might be pretty good? If i lived close enough to a good area for flounder, that's what i'd do.

I'd be using chum pots too. They make a big difference.

How about Raritan Bay?

Re: Flounder?
 

In the 1970's my father and I caught many flounder in great kills harbor.

People would be lined up catching them.

I wonder if they still fill that harbor.....

Anyone know?

Bam! Off the surf 4/3/14, with a worm in back bay. 3/0 hook i believe.

Re: Flounder?
 

anybody here ever catch them further south jersey, like behind ocean city or around corsons inlet, ive only ever fished for them in shark river

Re: Flounder?
 

They usually kick in after the Navesink and Sherwsbury Flounder. I'd start there first since the water is much warmer back in those areas then in the open bay.

Once the bay warms up a bit I'd try areas like Keyport Harbor and then Round Shoal.

Had a flounder suck down a big piece of clam on a 5/0 gami last year, ofcourse it was a 4 lber.
