Flounder gigging

How many do flounder gigging?

Working a a flounder light (7 months now)
and trying to solve many issues that crop up trying to build such a light.

Never heard of it until now. I googled it though. I don't think it's legal here in Jersey.

i have gigged before when i lived on the gulf coast. my neighbor had his jon boat rigged for it. had rails upper waist high on bow and lamps (looked like headlights from a car) mounted to the rail.

what kind of issues are you running into?

Bob, try this link... lots of good info

Flounder Gigging - Pensacola Fishing Forum

I'm from Pensacola, FL and used to flounder gig quite a bit this time of year. My father has already been on several trips so far this fall. Floundering is a ton of fun. I plan on doing some when I go down to visit around Christmas.

Use to do that when I lived near Corpus. Had a jon boat rigged with a wood frame in front that had 2 pieces of 105 siding put on in a "V" shape. The siding was cut to it was not so wind and the lap faced the other side and a Coleman lantern fit in that perfect. Had it set up for 2 lanterns and used a shield on the back side or my side to reflect more light down and at the same time keep some of the light out of our eyes.

We had a lot of fun during the fall run.

I would if there were any flounder here in Arkansas. Do gig a few frogs some years.:D

Never tried that.

Used to wade all night around Port Aransas. Just using a coleman lantern with a reflector shield and a gig working water less than knee deep. They are good eating fish..... will give crappie a run for the money! Have to be careful not to step on any rays :eek:.

I don't gig flounder because I live in Missouri. However, I do gig a lot of suckers though. Here's my gigging setup on my boat. Two 400w metal halide's being pushed by a Contractor 3500w generator.
