Dead stick from shore. small hooks, worms, clams....

We caught some beautiful winter flounder from the sandy hook surf last april while bass fishing.

They'll bite first on the inside bays and rivers.

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.

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

Hi Josh, Waters are very cold yet . I'd wait till you get some solid intel. I've been out scoping things in all the local spots. Too cold !

When I was much younger, I lived in Leonardo. We fished the beach, between the State Marina & the Navy Pier, for Flounder April & May. Uasally was best about an hour before high tide, fish would move up on the flats. Small stripers were a by-catch, with a keeper as a bonus every now & then.

Sand worms & Blood worms for bait. We even used to dig the dloodworms in the same area at low tide.

I put in some time yesterday Monday 3-16 at Shark River . I fished 3 hours of the out going tide with out a single bite. There was skim ice 1st thing in the morning, which quickly melted. No bites, No fish and a sore back from digging up bloods.

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