We started fishing right after dark and had them in the bag by about 1:45 AM.  It was a little windy but nothing like they (weathermen/noaa) had predicted.  Final tally 20 Flatties & 14 Mullet.  Biggest flounder was 4.8 lbs and biggest mullet was also a little over 4 lbs.  I also have a few of the kill shots mixed in this time that I have been promising for so long.

same fish as above

Don't lose hope.  If you keep at it you will eventually find them.  You just have to think like a fish.  Where would you like to lay on a given set of conditions to enable you to get the easiest meal possible?  Variations in the make up of the bottom make a difference.

I don't know about being a MASTER but, if you have to drive as far as I do in order to fish you really don't have any option but to stay on top of the conditions.  Such as the tidal movement, wind direction, water temperature, barometric pressure changes and a couple of other things that I still haven't been able to put my finger on that I am pretty sure play a role in there feeding activity.  Its really not that different from the things that you look at before you decide to go with a hook & line.  I just try to keep a consant vigil on things and when the stars line up I hit the road!!!

Sweet job 5 prongs!

I'm gonna try to hit them tomorrow night if this wind calms down.
