We had another great trip jigging up the flatties. These guys ended up with 23 flounder, 16 of which were very nice keepers. The Gulp! swimming mullet was the ticket again. The Flounder Pounder T-shirts are on the design table, and should be ready within the next few weeks. These guys sure earned theirs! Congrats Jonathon, JP and Steve, you guys were a blast to fish with, and oh yeah--one of JP's jigs fell prey to a nice 32" Red.

Flounder Pounders!
Had an awesome trip with Jim and Ricky from Hazlehurst. I
was a little concerned when we weren’t getting bit, but then these guys put it
in overdrive and started flinging flatties over the gunnels. It’s here that I have to explain the “flounder
pounder”. Back in the day, a fellow named Ray Thomas use to be the king of big
flat fish. Besides that, he was an outstanding taxidermist, and made some
really neat flounder mounts. Well, according to Ray, if you got 10 in a day, or
a 10 pounder, you became a flounder pounder. Old Ray even had some “flounder
pounder” t-shirts made that he awarded pounders. Well, Jim and Ricky qualified,
and then some. We ended up with 10 nice ones and a few borderline chips that we
let grow up, for a total of 15. I think I’m gonna have to get some shirts made
up. Thanks guys for a great trip!!

Hot August Bite…
Ribbon Fish |
We had some quality fish the last few days with
some really great folks. A couple of strange critters have shown up inshore,
including seven ribbon fish caught on artificials. Must be a silver eel
spawn.
Just thought I’d share a few pics. Been chunkin’ gulps, bomber long a’s, shrimp, mullet, and mud minnows. The water is pretty clean, especially on the incoming, and is only going to get cleaner with mild tides on the way. We’ve been fishing deep at low tide and shallow at high tide. Hope you enjoy!
