I finally got to take out my new flounder rig Friday night. I watched the weather all day long that day and I knew it was gna be on after midnight with that Cool Front moving in and the winds shifting to the North. MAN WAS I RIGHT !!!! Floundered from 2:00am - 4:00am and was back to the dock at 4:15 with two limits of flounder, some sheepies, and 1 mangrove snapper on (NIGHT 1). And they were all solid fish with a 3.5LB. avg and biggest flounder went 5.46lbs. On Saturday night (NIGHT 2) the wind had kicked up a lil bit more and it was back to the SE at about 12. Fishing was a lil bit tougher but we ended up with 7 flounder, some more sheepies, and 3 mangrove snapper. The big flounder for the night went 6.92LBS !!!!! My brother was with me on my boat both nights, tearing em up !!!
NOT TOO SHABBY FOR MY FIRST 2 TRIPS IN MY NEW FLOUNDER BOAT.
I will add the pics later on, my laptop is acting up.
