    Flounder Pounder

    The flounder were all over the t head of my pier in San Leon on Thanksgiving. Caught 6 and missed quite a few more. All released, hopefully I'll see them again in season. Had a slam on Thanksgiving afternoon/evening, then two days later caught nine different species in one day. Thanksgiving had 6 flounder, two specks, and one red. Saturday had flounder, black drum, stingray, hardhead, sand trout, speckled trout, sand perch, croaker, and whiting. Flounder caught on 3 inch swim jigs, as was the red. Specks on jigs under bobbers, the rest on dead shrimp on bottom. All in all not a bad few days despite way too much wind and erratic conditions.

        Excellent! Gotta love it.

        Nope the mismanaged federal snapper will be feasting on those flounder before they make it back in season to be caught.

          Nice work. Good to see Bandit Point back in the news.
          I don't have anything clever to write here.

            Thanks! Its been pretty slow for a while. Nobody wants to see a report about all the 5 inch sand trout I've caught in the last couple months. Good to have something fun to write about again.

          Nice trip! Yeah it's a shame the fishery is closed to all take. The weather has been pretty mild so it may cause the run to be more of a trickle. I plan on trying for them after the 15th.
          Revelation 22:17 And the Spirit and the bride say, Come. And let him that heareth say, Come. And let him that is athirst come. And whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely.​

          Onward, Christian soldiers,
          marching as to war,
          With the cross of Jesus
          going on before!
          Christ, the royal Master,
          leads against the foe;
          Forward into battle,
          see his banner go!​
