Finally gave it a shot last night. Went alone, water was very clear and the wind was calm. I gigged one 16" around 2:30am, not another until around 4:00. Stuck another, it was15" and I was getting the hang of it. I passed up 2 that were around 9", all I was happy about was finally finding a spot that was holding Flounder. Gigged another about 4:30 and it was 16" too, but I had the trolling motor at a pretty good speed thinking I needed to cover more area before sun up. When I saw it, I stuck it and started backing down the trolling motor when I saw another one. I didn't know what else to do, so I tried to gig it too with one already on the gig. Nope, it didn't work, still got the first one but the second swam off. And 2 monster Mullet. Didn't have my camera, but I sure had a fun time! I'm on a "mission" now! Had to share this with you guys because our Jon boat has only had one Flounder in it by gig the whole time we've owned it.

Good for you. I am glad you finally was able to go and put some fish in the cooler. See there.....there are flounder over there in your county.

I think I am officially "hooked" now. We just got through with dinner and it was great! My wife and I enjoyed as much as we could eat of it. I had some Redfish and Pompano fillets that I added with it so it was way too much food. We are headed out in a few to her father's house to share. All I can say is thanks Mitch for all your help, and Jonathon with getting me rigged up and all my baby steps. lol!

Awesome! That had to have been fun. I'm going to have to get linked up with someone that has a set up for gigging... it looks like to much fun not to try it.

Thanks guys. I think I left out an important part. I waited to leave the house until 1:30am, it was showing a high tide around 6:00am, so I wasn't on the water all night long, maybe 3 hours then it got daylight.

Proud to hear that you finally got some. Maybe things are beginning to pick up in your neck of the woods. Looking forward to hearing some more positive reports.
