7/14 Flukin' w/ pix

[bassassassin8]

Took the boat out in the back bays for the 1st time today to fish the outgoing tide. Fished 1:30-5. Pull up to the 1st spot, 1st cast, hooked up on a short flounder about 16''. Got me pumped for the day. Few casts later, somethin' slams my bucktail, drag starts SCREAMING..frickin 30+lb cownose :x It was a fun fight for the 1st 10 mins. I know many ppl just cut em right away but I figured I'd see what happened, well I get it to the boat & it FREAKS & starts flappin fins like crazy, soaks us. Definitely a funny moment til it ran again & I said f it, enjoy your new Spro tail jewelry. :roll: All in all, stuck 10 other shorts on tails & gulp, ran aground once & almost went for a swim, learned a lot for next time, good & bad. :wink: Managed to catch one 18.5'' keeper along the way for dinner tomorrow. 8)

Pretty solid. I'm glad the flounder here only have to be 14" (used to be 12") to keep, or I never would have caught a keeper :lol:

Get on down to your local Costco and buy some frozen at sea fillets. If they don't have flounder at your local store, they should have halibut and lots of other types of fillets.
