Big Lake flounder 4-10-10
 

Hit the lake today with scatv. We manged 19 flounder (not as big as last trip); 4 specks; 6 reds; and 1 croaker (14 inches). All fish were caught on Gulp pearl swimming mullet or Gulp new penny shrimp. Gulp is deadly on the flaties. We left the lake at 12:30. We fished an outgoing tide.

Nice catch Big Nasty....I just love your flattie pics...your the Flounder man bro....:)

Nice catch ..........

man thats a mess of fish there.nice.i love that swim mullet

Dammit boy I wanna get on some flats! Nice catch!

nice door mats....

Nice mess of feeeesh!

nice fish...

NICE.

The flounder are moving back into the lake. Fishing was slow with the crappy wind but we did grind it out. All in all a nice mess of fish. Gonna fry some fresh flats tomorrow.

You must be the Flounder King:smokin:

Brownies, I was on them last year with a gulp glow swimming minnow, my sister was fishing beside me with a yellow gulp swimming minnow and could not catch one. I made her use one of my glow ones and she started catching them. They are interesting fish, I love the way they bite - thump. Have you ever read Chester Moore's "Flounder Fundamentals"? You could probably write your own book, but Chester has a few good points.

Moore's book...
 

Acutually, before I got serious into flounder fishing... I did read Flounder Fundamentals and watched the film Flounder Tactics... Chester Moore was in both. I gained alot of knowledge from these. I would recommend reading that book and watching the film. Before gulp came along, I used a white/glow 4 inch curly tail tipped with shrimp... now I just use the Gulp white/glow swimming mullet. No more mess with the shrimp!

I also researched and read every article I could find on Paralichthys lethostigma (scientific name for Southern flounder).

Sounds like you know them well, what is the secret to catching flounder when they are jumping out of the water and turning flips? I haven't seen them doing that recently but they can be hard to catch in that situation. Will gulp still get em? I have seen them when they are after those tiny pogies and they are really focused on them. I still occasionally like to use live cocahoes but I agree gulp is hard to beat.

When flounder are really going nuts you can catch them on topwater,or gulp mullets about 8" under a cork.

nice catch.

Sweet catch! You really on the flounder good.

Maybe if we have a flounder division next year for the sc tourney me and nasty might have a chance.

Man that's nice flat's . I've made sum trip's recently fishing south ofwhere oyster bayou come's out into west cove work the south bank to the ole Vincent's camp. manage to pick up 6 to 10 nice keeper flat's and a ton of goriila red's. Keep your lure wet cause it's only going to get better.

Dang Nasty... You gonna eat good this week....

Ray...
 

Yup!

i was watching a show yesterday on outdoor channel. im not sure where this guy was but he was smoking the flounder. he was carolina rigging cocahoe minnows with 2 hooks and catchin 2 at a time. sometimes he would hold 2 rods, one in each hand. so he had 4 baits out. numerous times, he would hook one put that rod down then hook nother and reel em both in!

Do you know what time of day that show came on? I would like to see it for sure.

Pro team journal, in carolina.

double carolina rigged cocohoes. 2 rods at a time.
forgot his name

Fool...
 

Thanks!

I have fished the double rig cocahoe's and double spec rigs tipped with shrimp, works great when the water temps get up there.

Good catch!!
Cocahoes on Carolina rig or that Gulp have been good for the me w/ the flatfish.
May have to try that double Carolina rig. I've caught double flatties before on a speck rig tipped w/ shrimp, but that was a while back.
