Flounder?

[Capt. Debbie]

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

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.

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.

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?

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.
