I, deadeyedave, am new to the fourm but not to the area! I have over 30 years of experience fishing these waters. I challenge you, the giggers to a largest fish of the season tournement. The tourny will start when this post is sent and will run until the flounder are gone. Standard tournement rules apply. I will post the rankings weekly.

GL to all!

GO GRUBBERS!!!

Largest fish by weight or length? Good luck to all who participate. I dont venture to the pass area in my boat so I am out unless I get lucky and stick a bigun in the skinney water. Welcome to the forum DeadEye. Looking forward to the results.

It would be largest by length, as weight would be to difficult to determine in this fourm. Take a photo displaying the length in inches. Longest fish wins!!! The clock is ticking gl to all and to all gl!!!

Well, I have one of my scouts out working the beach for pompano, I recommend he tip a jig with either a sandflea or shrimp and pick up a flounder. I will get an update from him shortly, about 300 pm. I'm currently in search of live bait, aka finger mullet, pinfish. I should be in the lead as of monday night!!! Happy fishing!!!

Tightlines and Gig a  bite, welcome aboard!!!  Gig a bite, standard tourny rules apply. You may not have Finz give you a doormat. If he does, you, as well as he,  will be disqualified from the tourny. GL all!!!

Based on what we found (or didn't find) last night I'd have to say the flounder are already gone!

I don't think they are gone....maybe from some of the northern bay areas. Think you just had a bad night.

I didn't get a chance to go last night. I did scout out an area which holds finger mullet, the right size ones!!! I will be going today and tonight and tomorrow. I am going to try 3 major areas, with my live finger ramas, of course, and also with my white/pink and shartrose grubs!!! GL to Me!!!

Welcome Evensplit, Snakeman14. I agree with Finz, the best is yet to come. The next 3 weeks should be awsome!!! I will be eating fried flounder instead of the traditional turkey this Thanksgiving!!!

Thanks for the report Evensplit. I am going to try the coast guard station area this afternoon. I already have a few pins I caught just a few minutes ago. I will stop by my other bait spot on the way out, load up on finger mullet!!! I'm going tonight, around the jetty area!!!

GO GRUBBERS!!!

Forgot to tell ya, a blue heron stole my flounder while I was snagged in the rocks. Those birds smart, the wait until you forget about them, and then, bam, they got your catch!!! I watched him and got it back, when he dropped it I charged him, and he flew away. I'll eat it for lunch tomorrow.

I tried myself last night...not very long do to the strong winds. I managed to get one 13" flounder that i seen at my high speed drift. I went to some protected waters near by with my rod and reel and pulled out some 12" croakers but released because i did'nt know the regulations on them. I gave my flounder away at the dock headed to the house bout 8:30. So Dave...your safe for a few days.

Finz, thanks for the info, I believe I saw you last night. I was on the east jetty at 700 pm. Fished until 830 or so. I was the dude with the headlight on. I saw you heading back in around 8 something. I'm going today. I bought a dozen shrimp last night, and the clerk hooked me up, gave me over 3 dozen!!! Going to tear them up today, catching baitfish also!!!

GO GRUBBERS!!!

TODAY'S GAME PLAN:

I decided to kill some time on the beach today. Targeting pompano, but may end up with a 22 plus doormat!!! Going to hit various spots in the bay this afternoon.

Well shoot, all this bragging has me a little fired up. I'll come out and play! It won't be many times, but all I need is once....(see I can sling it too! HAHA).
