No they leave the boat and just walk on water.

When we haveslow nights when your just seeing legals. We can actually put the gig beside them to judge their length. Our gigs are about 5-5 1/2 inches wide. As far as dept. I've seen them with their nose out of the water. Most of the flounder I gig is in less than a foot of water. Usually right on the beach.

I'm gonna have to straddle the fence and say that it varies night by night. Last week I didn't get a fish in water any shallower than 3 feet. This week every fish I got was in 12" of water or less. All of these fish came out of the same body of water give or take a mile or so. Go figure!!! :doh

That's exacatly right. I think it depends on the tides, bait fish, water temp...ect

I know you can have an all out war on 'em in a certain area one night and not see jack in the same area the next night. :banghead

Have only seen small ones since we soupped up our Jon boat. If I can remember, they were all at the end of people's docks in the lights. I guess 20" of H2O. I look hard in the shallow area too, just not around in the places I've been trying.
