Flounder

[Blind Archer]

First couple of blues caught in Cliffwood was always the end of the spring run of flounder. Can't say I blame them. One observation at the time of their demise was, nearly all of the Party boats from AT fished the rivers, Port Monmouth flats , the Cedars etc in the spring.. Then all of a sudden the marquis read " Jumbo Bay Flounder" and they were all over the west end collectively pulling hundereds of egg laden females a day. It was only 2 years later that the decline hastened.
My personal hotspot was destroyed when the Keyport harbor channel was dredged. The South flats were barren from then on.
