Went Flounder Pounding And Ended Up With Trout…….
October 27, 2011 by Capt. Chris
With the mullet running it is a great time to hit the inlet for that door mat flounder as I thought but go figure the trout would not let me get our baits to the bottom. I had the pleasure of fishing with Terry who wanted to catch flounder but like previously mentioned the trout were so thick we couldn’t make it to the bottom. Every cast with a Slayer inc. Destroyer 3/8 jighead and a live mullet resulted a hook up with trout that averaged 3 lbs. I finally wised up and told terry to save the mullet and throw a fishbites extreme paddle tail with same results, trout after trout. I did not get any pictures as the action was too fast to stop for photo opportunities.
After the bite finally slowed down we headed to a drop off ledge for flounder where I found Bryan who said the bite was a bit slow for flounder but made the slow bite with this nice flounder.
