Sweet little 20" flattie - Page 3

Sorry guys, I did'nt mean to start anything. What I really was asking with my question was......"what are the "NORMAL SIZE" flounder that you guys get, I know the minimum is 12". But I'm sure there is a "NORM" or "AVERAGE", 14", 15", like that. I was not implying that I did not know what the minimum was, I do, it's 12".

as for your question...the range for me changes. sometimes im seeing mostly 14-15" flounder and other times (mostly later in the year) im seeing 18-22" fish. as you start to flounder more you will learn that there are a $hit pile of variables with flounder. you can go one night and get your limit and go the very next night to the same spot with the same conditions and not see 1. the hunt is all part of the fun.

That's true! It's like finding a hidden treasure when you spot one. I'm laying off fishin for Bulls for awile and concentrating on the flatties!

VS good job on the flounder.....i can however relate to ALL THE ABOVE POST some may agree and some may disagree but what you did was 100% legal and thats perfectly fine.....

its like some billfisherman.....they catch a legal billfish and turn it loose BUT when another billfisherman keeps one (legally) all BS hits the fan......do i condone keeping billfish outside a tourney NO, but i wont get caught up in a pissing contest with one that does.......just keep fishing legally and if you can find a time that you want to start picking (conserving) your/our resources then so be it, but if you want to take all the legal fish you choose too then ill be there to congradulate you on a nice mess of fish.....good job and sorry about all the slack you have caught on this thread....

anyone else on this thread i may have pissed off i am sorry i did.......everyone should know where i stand
