Prien 8/20/12
 

Fished Prien this morning. Caught 8 flounder, 13 specks and a abu garcia 5500 on a rod with mgtc 704 on the butt of the rod. The rod and reel is encrusted in barnicles. Looks as though it was in the water for a year.
I also thru back a bunch of rat reds. Couldnt catch one over 14 inches.
Only bait they would hit was a pearl cocahoe on 1/4 oz ymb lead head.
The tide was moving around noon. Must of been pushing my boat around 5 mph. Going back tomorrow.

Good trip! Thanks for report

Oh and I think I screwed up I was eating the flounder tonight and it dawned on me it might of took the star entry. It was as long as the inside of a 60 qt ice chest.

Nice trip, we ended up catching around 20 specks and 5 reds all on topwater

Aluminum boats taste good ehh, hard to swallow the prop.....lol...nice trip

nice flattie

Damn I never ate an aluminum boat before.

Good job!

Ever see a grown man cry!!!!!!!!!! I forgot flounder was in the tourney. That was about a 10 # flattie. F K!

Where did y'all go weed?

Nice haul!

How long is a 60 qt inside ?

That big flattie is what caught my eye! I caught mine 2 weeks before star started! Nice fish man!

We fished ship channel from just south of 210 bridge.. found them chasing bait all over the channel

Damn. That's a big azz door mat! Fella leading the star must be licking his chops after reading u ate the fish. Lol
Nice report. Mount dat next time

Cool , thanks . If I don't find some south , I may end up around 210 later in the day. I'm going somewhere , can't take it anymore , have t been fishin in months

Water looked really good even with all the rain

Hey Jude is that suppose to make him feel better or what..... I would be sick especially since I haven't joined this yr

Man that is my favorite fish to eat. People have asked me before why I didn't stuff it and have a replica made but we had 22 flounder that day and several went 5lbs so there was no need for meat! We had plenty!

Yea I about cried when I read that.

Looks like a 40 horsepower flounder to me

Had a similar day on Prien....kept 15 specs, 1 red, and 4 flounder.

All top water action except for flat fish. It was nice morning to be on the water. Tide was moving!

Nice catch and good report!

A 20" flounder will normally weigh in the 3# range

Nice haul, a lot of good reports out of prien area

Nice catch !

Don't remember what mine was when I caught it but right here hanging on my wall it is 26.5 long and 14.5 wide and was 10.5 lbs. that baby was fat too!

According to RodnReel.com's length/weight calculator, a 20 inch flounder would weigh about 3.62 lbs. A flounder would have to be over 28 inches to weigh 10 lbs according to this chart.

That flounder weighed way over #4. If you look in the photo the trout are 13 inches and longer. It is as long as 2 trout end to end.

I'm not trying to stir anything up or doubt you. I was just giving you some stats based upon the information you provided. You said it was as long as the inside of your ice chest which you later said was 20 inches. It is a very nice fish!

How much is it to enter star
