Pictures of Flounder fishermen along the channel

There were A LOT of flounder caught this year in the estuary. It was a great year to catch them. The wade fisherman, majority from TX, were ridiculous. Most waders though that because he/she caught fish in that spot yesterday, it was their spot forever. It doesn't matter if you had an anchor there and were fishing. I think the more alarming statistic is what the shrimp boats and butterfly barges were doing to flounder. On the hard fronts, some boats were pulling out 2500 pounds in a few hours! Imagine that for a month and a half. Hard to say what's gonna happen, but time will tell if limits need changing.

This is easy...your in a boat they are wading...HUMMM I can think of 10000 ways for them not to catch a single fish the rest of the day

That is why I did not go down there one signal time
