re: Advice for trying to catch flounder?

Fish with a white (pearl) gulp or chartreuse gulp swimming minnow 3 inch or 4 inch. Put a piece of shrimp (frozen, but thawed) on the end of the lead head. It doesn't take much shrimp. Bump the lure along the bottom with the rod tip pointed down from the boat. Flounder are located on the bottom. Fish it slow. Flounder sometimes bump your lure, so make sure the fish takes it before setting the hook. Fish shell drop offs. Big Lake has a flounder run starting around the 2nd of week of November for about 2 weeks. Fish near the Cameron Ferry on the ship channel. I love to fish where the old ship channel flows into the new ship channel. I've caught flounder without tipping the lure with dead shrimp, but I've caught more tipping it. You can fish from the bank on the ship channel when the flounder are running. One of my favorite times of the year. Good luck.
