Got an offshore Flounder Trip planned out of Brielle, NJ Monday with 2 guys at work. Be my first time to fish flounder off NJ coast.
Heres a few i caught out of Wachapreague, VA last Spring & prior Fall:
All below I caught at Wachapreague, VA driftin with minnows and squid(The Sandwich). Fishing Green and Drawing channels out near the Coast Guard Station. Both caught on the in-coming tide within first hour of change over from slack.. Slowly workin the ledges back and forth between 12 and 21 ft.
Eagle Claw size 4 wide bend style No. 042 Lazers whackem on the short hits. The wide bend will pay off in the long run. The size 6 No. 042 works great with flounder in the sub 5 lb range. I like bronze finish vs SW or SS hook finish. Hey, at a couple bucks per 50 just throw out when rusted. Fishfinder style rigs used on slow tide. Those big flatties tend to get a little spookie especially when the water is clear. Flourocarbon leaders used.
YES CHIEF, EVEN TEENAGERS HAVE GRAY IN THEIR BEARDS!!!! :lol: :lol:
6-7 Pounders
8 Pounder ...Took 2nd Place In Fall Flounder Tournament(A $500 Fish!)
