Title: -4/13 Flounder Report
Post by: Skolmann on April 13, 2008, 04:33:55 PM

Well first off, some how Jason got an early release from his house arrest (mom has a soft spot in her heart I guess  ::)). So he joined me today on the Misty Morn.

First 2 drops were on the Keyport Flats for a dreadfully slow pick-although I did manage to put 2 nice flundies on ice. Tide turned and we now had an incoming tide pushing against a brisk west wind  :'(. Moved to the east and made our final drop on the Keansburg Flats. Had a nice shot of fish for about 45 minutes.I added another 2, Jason caught 1 and we took one off the chum pot  ;D) for a total of 6.

High hook was 7  t^. Pool winner was in the 16.5" range and full of chum.

Bait De jour for me was 'ham & eggs' (clam strip & sandworm) although I did catch one on the snot (mussel).

Yea, those fish are a nice extra bonus  TT^.

Funny thing though in years past I could always count on taking an extra 3-5 fish off the pot but this was our first this year & we didn't get any last year. Maybe the flounder are getting smarter  5hrug.

Nice going TT^

T and I were out on the Sea Hawk.  She managed 4 keepers and took the pool ;D
I could only manage 2.  Missed at least 5 good bites :-\ was way off my game.  A few onboard had 3-5 keepers.  A few with none :P

I missed one bite myself on Sunday  bngh. It's funny, I caught 4 but all I can think about that night was missing that 1.

Only 1 out of the 4 flounder I caught bit agressively.

Conditions were tough most of the day Sunday once the tide turned and we had wind against tide.

Might be back it again this coming Sunday.
