Flounder fishing..how I do love thee ? Flounder fishing for me has changed over the years with the new gulp baits that have arrived on the scene. I have caught my share of flounder fishing live mullet on a Carolina rig but have switched to using gulp shrimp baits 3" version on a 1/4 jig head when fishing back water. My current favorite color is white with chartreuse tail. Flounder do not waste time eating a gulp bait and you can cover more water quickly to locate feeding fish without having to deal with catching bait and a minnow bucket. Trout and red drum love these also. If you are in a lot of current or deep water you may need to increase your jig head size. On reels I have been using the Daiwa Sweepfire 2500 series when fishing the salt. The newer version is a big improvement with an added bearing and for $ 14.00 each you can not go wrong. Give them a fresh water gentle rinse and they will last for years. I enjoy walking the backwater creeks and marshes or hunting flounder from my kayak. Sometimes I will slow troll but most times I cast. These methods have worked for me from Virginia to Florida. FB
