It’s Still July And Flounder Bite Is Str

Warm water with a great bite! How long will it continue? We even had several exotic Grey Triggerfish biting our Gulp, today. (Edit: The Triggerfish meat is solid white and frys up with a fantastic non-fishy taste! It’s SO TASTY, I’ll start targeting them.) ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Off the charts bite, this morning! We caught Flounder, Black Sea Bass, Croakers and Dogfish. Sometimes, we caught doubles and multiple hookups at same time! After a few quieter days last week, this was a welcome change. Water was 68, low wind, drift speed ranged from .75 to 2.25 mph, started with heavy, low fog that ended quickly with full sun. With this group, we had a blast!! No long trip to a reef, and we bent rods for less money and just 15 minutes after leaving dock. (Actually, we caught the first two fish 1 minute from dock.?)

Monday’s wind and rain put a hurt’n on fishing for Tuesday, but the bite got much better, today. We caught a lot of small Black Sea Bass and some near keeper size flounder. It was all about timing the hookset and letting out just enough line to stay on the bottom. Just as we neared the finish line, a solid rainstorm struck and soaked us. (Free Mother Nature boat wash!) With everyone catching flounder, the trip was a success!!! ???
