It
appears that this year flounder are back to their old patterns and
making their big run between the full moons of October and November.
Last week, we were in the full moon phase for October and apparently
that, along with the frontal passage that emptied the marshes, jump
started the flounder movement.
A noteworthy observation is in the number of large, female flounder that are already on their way to the Gulf. Debra Deckard,
Bolivar Yacht Basin Bait Camp at Sievers Cut, called in to say the run
is on in her area. Friday, Deckard used live croaker to take three of
the flatfish making their way out of the marshes.
Joey Dean
and a buddy took their kayaks to Seawolf Park on Friday evening and
fished the leeward side of the island where large schools of glass
minnows were being chased by both fish and birds.
The
anglers caught several undersized flounder, which is typical for that
area early in the seasonal run. Dean said he observed potato chip sized
flounder all over the place.
While
action stopped for the two anglers when the tide stopped moving, they
observed a flurry of action at sunset. One group of fishermen they
observed had seven flatfish in the 16 to 18 inch size range.
Trout
action picked up Saturday morning early for wade fishermen along the
Seabrook Flats and along the spoils of the Intracoastal Waterway across
from Pirates Cove.
Jimmy Miller and Cal Chaulser
hit the water early off Todville Road and ended up with six specks to
19 inches by 9:30 a.m. Mirrolures and soft plastics were the baits.
Kenn Watkins fished on the bay side of the ICW Spoils and landed two flounder and four trout using live shrimp for bait.
