John...I envy you. In the great state of North Cackalacky our flounder season in 2023 was two weeks with daily catch limit of one fish over 15". In 2024 the season is closed the entire year. Of course big North Atlantic Halibut show up occasionally and somehow become "fillet and release fish." Have you ever tried a 4-5" flag of sea robin belly for fluke bait. Growing up we always tried to catch a sea robin early in a trip and that belly would last all day of catching fluke!
@rizzorides24902 күн бұрын
I have that same kayak, lifetime tamarak, and the VERY first thing I did was load it down and INTENTIONALLY flipped it repeatedly in fast flowing water to learn my recovery technique. GOT IT DOWN SOLID! And NEVER wear waders! Carry a grappling hook tied to your boat, and a LONG rope lead off the back. NEVER fish these in oceans.

@tmik78642 күн бұрын
Why do you think there are so many short fluke this year and very few larger ones ? Do you think its because of the draggers getting the larger ones before they can even come in ?
@JohnSkinnerFishing2 күн бұрын
This ratio is not overly uncommon for this area. I don't think it's draggers because their poundage is limited and they can keep 14-inchers.

Something like this happened to a buddy of mine here in Canada on lake simcoe in ontario. He had a fishing boat and sold it figuring he would do all his fishing in a kayak. He went out wind picked up and he flipped. He had to be rescued. His wife told him you sell that kayak and get a boat or no fishing anymore lol.

Y'all have a great fishery up there. Without a boat here around the Chesapeake I have haven't caught a keeper flat fish this year. People with boats are getting some but not around the shore that I can find. Even with a boat I don't think it's anywhere near as good as up there. NC isn't having a recreational flounder season at all this year. But here in VA it's always open. The minimum is 17.5" now, and it's tough.
@djmkstewart2 күн бұрын
I live in Va as well and the flounder bite is decent. The bite was slow yesterday because of dirty water but I did manage a keeper @ 20 inches. As long as the water is moving and clean, I've done well. I've caught my limit in 45 minutes a few weeks ago.
