re: Advice for trying to catch flounder?

I've not fished for flounder in a good while since most of my buds that once owned boats finally sold them and moved on, or died over the years.

My absolute best flounder trips found me catching them on the old standby I still have in my tackle box-----double shad rig with a bit of fresh shrimp hooked to it under a cork.

I've also had success gigging them in the gulf walking in the shallows with an old Coleman lantern on a pole and a gig. Just watch out for rays. My cousin took a barb in his calf one night and that ended that trip fishing and wound up with a hospital visit for his efforts.
