Good day, partly sunny. Was on the water 0730 hrs.

Did the usual; jigged a tandem rig with white bucktail and Gulp around the canal and inlet. Around 0830 hrs during low tide, I got a good pull from a feisty fish. Wondered what it was. I had to adjust the drag. It turned out to be a good size flattie. I didn’t know if it was a flounder because all my past flounder catches weren’t that big; so I never experienced a good fight from a good size flounder before.

Caught:
1 toad
1 croaker
1 short flounder
1 keeper flounder (22”, my biggest flattie yet)

Nice fish, congrats on the flounder! That croaker looks fat n healthy too! good day on the yak!

Nice, that flatty is pushing doormat status!

[coastal_dan]

Very Nice!

I bet after that flattie everything else was just a bonus! Nice going

[Goody]

Nice catch. Did the flattie hit the bucktail or the gulp?

You can see in the pic, it hit the Gulp. Most flatties I catch hit the white bucktail, my go-to lure.

That's what I thought but didn't see the bucktail.

Congrats on the flounder. It's always nice to be pleasantly surprised by a big fish!

White bucktail and gulp seem to be the ticket for those flatties.
