End of May report

Flounder gigging has been good over the last month. We have been limiting on flounder most nights, but not every night. Recent trips in the last week have been faster, as we are finally getting into a summer pattern, and fish are getting easier to find. Still lots of big flounder showing up this year, and we are seeing a handful of fish in the 20” range each week. With lots of rain this past week, the bay is looking really healthy going into Summer, and I expect gigging to stay consistently good through June and July.

Open dates for flounder gigging:
June: 8, 14, 16, 17
July: 12, 13, 15, 20, 22, 27, 29
August: 3-6, 9, 10, 12, 13, 16-20, 23-26, 30
September: 8, 9, 14, 15, 17, 20-23
October: 5-8, 11, 13, 14, 18, 21, 24, 26-28
November: closed season
December: 21-23, 26-31

Mid-April report

Flounder gigging has been good over the last 2 weeks, but boy have we been working hard to find fish with persistent high winds and high tide levels. Some nights have been fast action, but most nights are taking 4-5 hours and grinding the limited clear water available in high winds. Lots of small flounder out there that should be keeper size in the next couple months. We are also getting a good number of fish this week in the 19-21” range, that are returning from the Gulf. Fishing should improve as we enter a more stable summer pattern in the next month.

Open dates for flounder gigging:
April: 21, 22
May: 3, 4, 6, 10-14, 18, 19, 25, 31
June: 1, 8, 14, 16, 17, 23, 28-30
July: 6, 7, 9, 12-15, 20, 22, 27-30
August: 3-6, 9, 10, 12, 13, 16-20, 23-26, 30
September: 8, 9, 13-17, 20-24
October: 5-8, 11, 13, 14, 18-21, 24-28, 31
November: closed season

End of March report

The last 10 nights of flounder gigging have been good. Limits on some nights, and ending up 3-4 fish short on other nights. Fishing got a little tougher for a few days, with nagging low tides. Tides are now back to normal, and the fishing really picked up over the last 4 nights. Fish size has been normal for March, with most fish in the 15-17” range.

April is always a solid month for flounder, and the gigging should be excellent as long as tides stay normal.

Open dates for flounder gigging:
April: 15, 16, 20, 21, 22
May: 3, 4, 6, 10-14, 18-20, 25, 27, 28, 31
June: 1, 8, 14, 16, 17, 23, 28-30
July: 2, 6, 7, 9, 12-15, 19, 20, 22, 23, 27-30
August: 2-6, 9, 10, 12, 13, 16-20, 23-27, 29, 30
September: 8-10, 13-17, 20-24
