Looking for the retarded flounder

choppedliver · 01-22-2010, 11:52 PM

Just about every trip Ive been on, I managed to find at least the one retarded flounder that didn't get the memo not to hang out at near shore...

I know it's not "prime" season for floundering right now and most have moved to the gulf, but I figured what the hell I'll give it a shot, it's gonna get cold again soon so might as well take advantage of this warm spell.

Went wading at a spot near my house that I have scored some nice ones before. Water was quite clear and calm tonight, starting to clear up some after all the rain.

Walked for about 90 minutes and didn't see the first track. Saw a nice blue crab, and surprisingly, quite a few bait fish. Wrapped it up and went home and fixed me a margarita.
