Boat/Technique Question

Captain Woody Woods · 09-22-2008, 04:26 PM

Ok I have gotten into flounder gigging a bit after work, and the places we go, we are wading in water no deeper than our knees most of the time. All you guys with these souped up jonboats with the lights and leaning platforms, are yall venturing into water that shallow as well? And if so, are yall just using much longer handles on your gig setups? Just wondering.

i have to go to various depths to find flounder....somenights they are in as shallow as 6-12 inches and some nights they are MUCH deeper......i use a 12ft pole to gig/push with......

I pick-up 90% of my flounder is less than 12" of water during the summer. Push myself with the gig pole (10').

Evry flounder I have ever gigged was in less that two feet of water. Gigged some that half of there body was out of the water. And they are almost always out of the current and in little coveys and the inside of bars cause thats where the bait is gonna congregate.
