Lets talk flounder! and flounder reports.
Ok, its getting time for the flounder to move out of the river, and i am excited about it. I went to Huguenot park on Sunday and threw my typical gulps with and without spinners and caught a big fat zero! I fish for flounder from the bank since my boat is more suited for offshore and to much for anything but the river. I only typically get to fish one day a week so i cannot keep up with the migration and it is always hit or miss for me it it seems. Please use this thread to post reports on flounder and what area of the River they were caught. I do not think anyone expects guys to share honeyholes, but it would be cool to at least know where in the river people are having success.
I talked to a guy who said he caught 4 decent flounder in Nassau sound on Sunday, i got the big goose egg on sunday.
Lastly, does everyone fish live bait only in the Fall for Flounder? I usually do ok with grubs and gulps, and spinnerbaits on Flounder, but the last few trips it has been very slow for me. I may have to start relying on the cast net, any thoughts appreciated.
Oh, yeh, i got the new Lews Custom inshore casting reel this week. I have caught nothing but bass in the local pond with it, but WOW, it is a nice reel. Throws a mile and 20 pounds of drag, "which i will never need". The dang thing is super low profile and only weighs 6 ounces. Not advertising for Lews, but it is such a nice reel i had to mention it. So far i highly recommend it if you are in the market.

I throw Lews too, and love them.
We caught nice flounder offshore during the snapper weekends......12 miles out.
just sayin'.....
The St Johns is dumping fresh water runoff from waaay down river.....just a couple of weeks ago, I was told the water salinity was in the teens......around Jax, in the river......that's pretty fresh, plus it had been raining almost everyday...
It does have an effect.....hopefully it'll all straighten out pretty soon.....we'll see.
