we fished north bank, west bank of ft. mcrae, and south bank pickens. Zero flounder in all areas. Tried all depths except pass four feet with the clarity being bad. I run two 150 halogens so pretty sure we didn't run over any.



Moved to another area on the way in further inland and actually located a flounder!



However, my experienced flounder fisherman friend could not contain himself and frantically took a stab at it almost knocking me out of the boat! LOL :banghead We laughed discussing how we only spent two minutes locating him.. there has got to be more!! We cant go home with that haunting us!!! but.. it was not our night. Tried another 300-400 yds of coastline (pole powered) with no dice.. nil..



home at midnight! :banghead





talked to a few boats and they had no luck too.

Don't feel bad. We did the same thing saturday night.

Only thing I can figure is that the tide is bad right now. I am going to check the tides before I go again...

Tide was slack when I went saturday, then fell the rest of the night.

we're going out tonight...hopefully we have better luck

I think earlier morning hours are better right now so the tide is going out. Please let us know jeep. I am going again too in different waters for a bit. I will post report again later.

jeepnsurf

yeah you could be right...i'll let you know how it goes.

Thanks for the report...keep going they will be there. Try to catch it at the peak of high tide and its normally crystal clear for a few hours till the dirty bay water starts coming out.

I was very very surprised at the number of flounder I caught just a few miles offshore last weekend - in a spot where I've never caught a single one before. At one point all 4 of us had one on at the same time. From what I have learned so far (and I'm still pretty new at this) a lot of "experts" feel the big numbers are still waiting for water temps to go down a bit although it does seem to me there are quite a few that have moved to the Gulf already.

Death From Above

They are all in the gulf now. They all slipped out the pass on 13 Nov between 2am and 4am. We can only pray that the endangered red snapperdon't eat them all and a few survivers will make it back in the spring.:reallycrying

I agree with DFA, fished out of Destin pass on Bridge rubble with 13-15 other boats and everyone was taking there limit even the scuba guys. This is in 65ft. of water. Also, noticed the bait ie cigs are no longer on the beach and holding in the inshore spots now too. So go the bait, so go the flounders.

flippin, dfa.. thanks for the input. Sounds like I need to take a trip in the big boat to some of my mangrove spots.
