Title: Flounder Run
Post by: saltydog on November 18, 2012, 03:02:27 PM
The flounder in Galveston bay have been biting pretty good for the last two weeks with the big girls showing up in force now.Curly tails tipped with finger mullet or mudminnows are it.
Got my limit in thirty minutes each day for two days(2 a day),with some nice fish.

And the jigs can be tipped with any form of little critter because Flounder aren't very picky,finger mullet,mud minnows,squid,and shrimp are favorites.

Nice door mat on your left....One of my favorite to eat. Show the type of rig that you use down your way.
Thanks for sharing, Sal
