Flounder Rigs and Fishing Tips

Red Fly · 03-09-2008, 09:21 AM

Ever since I was a kid I have fished for flounder a basic way. This usually involved a 1/2 ozor larger jig with a pink and white grub on the end of a leader and a foot ormore above that shrimp, finger mullet or some other live bait.

While not always a consistent producer of fish it has been a way that I have always gotten someresults.

What rigs or you using.

10-12# test 1/4 ounce lead head (red) and a dead LY rigged through the mouth and out of the back, like a plastic shad. I work it just like and artificial but it smells like a real bait. Has always been very good for me.

I like artificial due to the fact that Anyone can catch fish with live bait.

The rig I use is a 5 prong stainles gig attached to the end of a 8ft medium action dowl pole. There always biting with this rig.

1/2 oz jig head with a 3" new penny gulp works for me fish any dock in the sound. They should start showing up when the water warms up. Gigging is for little cuuunnt hairs that cant fish

The last time I was gigging was for frogs, I put a 5' cottonmouth in the boat. I have not been invited back to Demopolis.

Which do you end up usually catching the most fish on? The live bait or the trailer? Also, how do you connect the line that has the live bait on it? 3-way swivel?
