|
I remember last year or the year before we had a discussion about flounder and somebody nonchalantly brought up catching a monster flounder. 32" I think, it was a state record that never got sent in. We asked him if he had a picture and he posted one of it on a ruler. Couldnt find it and Im going crazy locked up with this weather. Does anybody have the picture? I need motivation to go catch something!

Not me recently, but back in the day, at the mouth of Lester Rolloff's channel (nine mile hole) I hauled in a 34" trash can lid....top fillets went an inch and a half thick, bottom three-quarters. Not braggin, but just sayin....blind squirrel. Best flounder ever!!!!

Back in the "Day" as Chief Lefty said we would target the point of the 9 mile hole channel first thing every time we fished the cut. when the current was running to the north flounder would stage there for a good time after daylight and dragging a live shrimp across the point worked real well. Never got a trash can but as I remember they were all good sized.
As far as trash can lid flounder, my brother stuck a very large flounder on the west side drop-off of the cut and had to let it go when it worked its way into the deep water. Put his lantern out too.

It was "justimm" on a thread started by "flounder daddy" back in July of 2012, if I remember correctly. "justimm" said he caught it in June or July in Copano near the Bayside area and won a rod and reel with his huge catch.

No flounder for me today, but I did catch this 20 lb. red this morning in "My neck of the woods!" on a "DOA Cal Minnow" in Arkansas Glow color. I was down to my last pack of these so I bought the last one on the rack at "Roy's this afternoon.   |

Nice red! It had to be a rough cold morning on the water today! I was in a enclosed deer stand thinking it was pretty nippy!!!  |

Come on Justin where is that pic?
Hell of a red GT! Almost made it out today but decided to study for finals and save it for nicer kayaking conditions.

Thanks! You definitely have to dress correctly and be in the "Right" frame of mind to be on the water in theses conditions. I always dress in layers and today was a three layer day!  Here is the lure that I used this morning. It's the same lure I caught my 11 lb. flounder on five years ago in these same type conditions, less that a mile from where I caught this red.  |
