After catching my first flounder yesterday I decide to go back for seconds. Got out a little late, went south of the launch, started off tossing a shrimp around, nothing so I trolled on down the bay bottom bouncing. Went to another spot of mine, and sure enough, felt a small but definite thud... counted to 5 seconds and started reeling, I quickly could tell I didnt have a red or trout for the way it was fighting was different. Felt like I was dragging something along the bottom, got it boat side, and gasped at how it bigger it was than yesterdays. I quickly grab the net while trying to keep the flounder from jumping around all over the place. One nice scoop and he was mine. Figured I would try for another but couldnt get one to bite. Went down by catfish basin, which was a waste, nothing but small trout. Went back up the bay and thought why not try to catch some mullet in the net, keep tossing and tossing at a school but they kept spooking. So I just tossed blind and caught a small one with a small croaker/pin fish looking thing. I quickly but him on a popping cork and tossed him out, which led to a trout hammering the crap out of him. The hook was small and a little to forward, so it missed, I pop, trout hits misses, and finally hits hard getting hooked. Overall a decent day. I think from now on I ll be flounder fishing primarily.
