Not to be outdone by Five Prongs, I headed south last night and braved the wind. Wind was a steady 5-10 mph at the boat ramp and increased to around 15 mph later on in the night. The water was stained, the wind was rough, and to top it off the fish were not just buried up... they were using shovels to dig holes and climbing in. :doh Despite all of the above, I gigged the 9th fish 3 minutes before midnight, looked for number 10 for an hour, finally said "a limit is overrated" and came home. All in all, I had a blast. I'll take a mess of flatties as an early christmas present any time!!:letsdrink

Good Job!! You guys are proving that not all flounders leave the bays during the winter.

I tell ya thats a fine lookin' mess of fish. Just a damn shame that the scout don't ever get any credit. :moon Thats all right though somebodys got to do the dirty work.

oke Its ok, you know I wouldn't shit you your my favorite TURD.

On a side note, if it gets back into the 50's towards the end of the week we may have to do us a little final cleanup mission if they are still there.

My apologies for not giving credit to the scout team. I was trying to talk you into a trip towards the end of the week this morning and you didn't sound very interested....you know I'm game. As some cowboy whose name I dont remember once said, "just say when"

I'm off work wednesday, thursday, friday, saturday, and sunday. Got to do christmas wednesday night, but other than that, I'm clear......
