The Flounder "Can" be a little spookier at a Full Moon. The 25th is Full Moon.

Yes when there is a bright moon above you in the sky the flounder can see you. So when you see a flounder better gig him fast. Especially if you see him quiver a little. he's getting ready to bolt.

I agree with above statements also,i have found the flounder to be alot spookier on the brighter nights.

I don't think the moon has anything to do with whether they hold are not. I've had them sit-tight on bright and dark nights. I think it depends on how long the flounders been settled in the spot when you pull up on him.

That may be true DFA but i have also noticed that a lot more run on a bright night then on a dark night. not saying you are wrong, thats just my opinion...

I agree. Full moon = skiddish. Gig em fast.

Well that settles it then. On a bright night the flounder are more apt to run on you.

oke The tribe has spoken.
