| Hit the water with Chris around 6:30 and tried to catch a few fish before it got dark. Not much luck with that. We tried 5 or 6 different cuts and bars for 2 1/2 hours, used up 2 bags of gulp and Chris caught the only desirable fish, a 13" flounder. Around 9:15 is was finally dark enough to turn the lights on. Tide was a -1.1 so it was low. Who likes creamer with their coffee? The visibility was 6" and the wind was still blowing 5-10. Not good. Used the trolling motor to get to the protected shoreline about 50 yards away. Got to the shoreline and there was bait everywhere and there laying in 6" of water was our first flounder of the night. Still not sure Chris ever saw it. We were definately where the bait wanted to be last night. Thousands upon thousand of 3" finger mullet. Worked the shoreline 100 yards and ended up with 3. Went back and started over and did the same 100 yard stretch and as I was trying to convince Chris we needed to try another spot, he pointed and said not quite yet. Flounder #4 in the boat. Notice the water in the lights. We were in 8" of water.
 We decided to keep working this new stretch of shoreline and it was a good thing. The next 100 yards yielded 6 more flounder, a couple that I would have never seen if Chris hadn't pointed them out. When these fish lay around an oyster/sand mix bottom, they can really blend in. At 1am we made the call to try one more spot before we left in hopes of finally being able to see more than 6"-1 foot into the water. The last spot had better visibility(1-2') but no flounder were seen. Hit the ramp at 1:50am with 11 flounder and 1 mullet.
Big fish was 2:11. A few more were just over 2. The rest were 14-15" fish.

Wow nice job guys sure makes me want to go try my luck. I've not been gigging since I was a kid with my dad in the early 70's. Not sure how well I would do with my bass boat in that shallow water?

| Hey X not to be little his post(Id trade with him in a second) but that flatty in the pix is on the end of a gig. Awesome report. I have not been gigging in a couple years, might have to change that way of thinking.
