Shiznik (9/8/2008)All of the local Flounder guys and the seafood markets are saying this area hasn't been productive going on its second year. I am wondering if it has to do with how far we are from the pass or if its just the Intercoastal Waterway and the wind. Any suggestions? I'm about to start a post wanting to join along with some other guys and drive out of the area if thats what it takes. My buddies "always" come home with a cooler full. It sure isn't that my eyesight is bad. If I was to see one and it was legal, I'd stick it no problem. lol!

I will have to agree with you on the fact that it has been slow around your parts. I checked it on 2-3 different occasions when I was getting limits of fish in some other spots in hopes of finding some different scenery. It was to no avale. I got one fish out of about 4 trips. I have pretty much checked all of the decent spots from where your at to as far west as anybody would be willing drive. It is still a hit and miss game but it does help the feelings when you can nasty up the ice every once in a while. Maybe you can find some without having to drive to far!!! I feel your pain though. I am pretty much 100 miles from the water no matter how you cut it.:banghead

I gotta give it to ya though, at least you have a few spots that make it worth your time. I want to be able to take my wife out just once and be able to bring home something to even turn the grease on. I am an avid Surf Fisher and if I wanted to, I could hit the beach and I have that down to a science. But these areas just don't seem to have the flounder holding up in them. If I knew of another area to try, I'd do it in a heartbeat. I don't get the chance to go that often especially with our grandson having cancer. I hope we can come across some soon. :banghead:banghead:banghead

Gotcha on the driving as far as a person is willing to or can afford to W, but is it worse if I head E?

I feel your pain too! I fish and fish and fish and it takes me all year to have as much as some do in one night. This is by far the worst year for me.

Not necessarily, as a matter of fact I was to your East last week. I understand that you have a situation which kind of limits your distance and I wish yall nothing but the best. The best advice that i can give is as soon as you are able you need to try some of the spots that are a little outside your normal comfort range. One of the spots that I checked last week is one that we hadn't been to in over 10 years and it turned out to be decent enough that i am gonna give it a second try.
