Фильм және анимация

In today's episode, we headed off to Galveston Island to try and catch some flounder before they close the season on November 1st. We visited several spots before finally ending up fishing off of the Pelican Bridge, where we had an awesome time catching a ton of flounder. Tune in to see all the awesome catches, as well as flounder fishing tips and tackle that will help you get the job done.

    Absolutely, a tiny red fish fights harder than most things you can get freshwater! Tight Lines

    When you show how to tie the rig, the line is so clear which makes your hand look like a mime.

    Went out yesterday and got 3 at the dike. Wish I would have gotten there sooner before it started getting hot. Your right about using thinner hooks. I lost two double rigs pretty quick due to not being able to bend the hooks or pop them free. I tied on a couple cheap Walmart ball jigs and that's what I caught my three flounder on. The points will bend over easy on the cheap hooks so I carried a hook sharpener with me and used it several times. A lot easier than tying on another rig.

    I think with the recent changes in our climate that the water temps are higher than normal and the flounder aren't hitting their optimum spawning temps. Just a theory of my own.

    To be honest the flounder population has dwindled down since these guides have been gigging out of these huge boats. Taking 6 to 8 people at a time. That’s 30 to 40 at a time. Some guide run twice a night. That’s just slaughtering not fishing

    I've always said that I think if they want to fix our flounder stocks, they should make flounder a game fish and stop letting commercial fishermen gig them. Gigging is crazy; those guys go all out on the flounder.
