Default Flounder info for newbies

I've got the "Quick Start" Guide now up - gives a decent (I think) overview of Fall Flounder fishing in the area, thanks for Chris Phillips of Hot Spots for help on this:

That is kinda like getting a record contract without workingnon paying gigs in clubs for years! One of the best parts of the sport is the hunt and the countless hours you spend wet getting skunked. Your walking dodging that 8 inch spiked foe, or watching your 6 cause there is a 41/2 foot gar out side your light popping the mullet you scare up. Then an instinct like vigilance comes over you when you feel the perfect substrait under your feet, knowing ther will be the glow of the doormats eyes on the outskirts of your light soon. So you dont reach your goal of 10, but you have found a 50 x 50 foot square that holds a few quality fish and you discovered it, all by your self. That is a awsome feeling, all new guys need to experence.

It's gonna be bumper boats out there on those gfa's and efa's. Let's just bring back the flounder gill nets.

Good post if you just left out the exact locations of holding areas. I agree that those locations will be more crowded now. Glad that okaloosa county areas wer'nt revealed....it gets crowded enough around here as it is.

Not too sure those spots are "secret", theyalready have heavy fishing pressure...let's see, flounder must make their way out to sea, there is only one pass for tens of miles, I wonder how and where they will get out? We all know the strength of the current in the pass, I wonder what tide might help facilitate their swim to the open ocean? Good basic info, much like is presented on PFF, nothing too specific.

Second the net suggestion. I used to run a 400 ft net in East Bay, catch <U>nothing</U> <U>but</U> flounder, get what I needed for the freezer and friends and then pack it up for the season. I'm alright with the ban on mullet nets, because the net guys used to slaughter them and they are back in force now. Netting didn't hurt flounder numbers, just made it easy to get what you needed. I don't know any netters who abused the privilege either.
