Flounder catches are dominating the fishing reports lately and the trend continued Thursday and likely will continue for the remainder of November.
Bulldog’s Bait Shop reported a limit of flounder taken by Darrell Purvis at Seawolf Park on Wednesday. Live shrimp was the bait.
Nathan Chain took his limit
Thursday and the two flounder were genuine saddle blankets. They
measured 23 and 23.5 inches and weighed 6.13 and 6.26 pounds
respectively. Live mullet was the bait.
Johnson Sem took his limit of
flatfish using Chicken Boy soft plastics baited with a piece of mullet.
His fish measured 20 and 22 inches.
Bulldog mentioned that many
flounder fishermen tend to panic when they find that live mullet are in
short supply. While mullet are definitely a great bait for flounder,
live shrimp work well and are more widely available during the annual
flounder run.
Before signing off on his fishing
reports Thursday, Bulldog mentioned that on Thanksgiving Day he will
open at 5 a.m. and will be serving a turkey spread for his customers.
While flounder are the main topic
of catches, other fish are being caught. Chuck Papalucas said that he
has been catching large sand trout in Offatts Bayou near Teichman
Point. Paplucas has been fishing yellow Gulps with curly tails bottom
bumping style and landing dozens of 12 to 15-inch sand trout. Several
large flounder were taken as well.
We continue to receive a number
of calls from readers complaining about observing other anglers
retaining more flounder than their two-fish daily bag limit. One caller
said that she observed a boat next to her with two fishermen placing 13
flounder in their ice chest Wednesday.
