    Never giving up!

    Night Flounder Gigging • 2 adults

    James was awesome!! If you want to go flounder gigging this is your guy!! We had a great experience through lightning, thunder and rain!! He waited out the storm with us and took us back out after it passed. Took us to a few different spots to make sure we got our limit!! Took us awhile..from muddy water, to 3 different wind shifts, to us not exactly knowing how to jab one... but he never gave up!! Will definitely be back when we end up this way!! Thanks James!!

    Great time to be on the water. We have been seeing lots of limits coming of flounder being gigged here in the Rockport amd Port Aransas areas. The only thing that has slowed us down is the weekly cold fronts but soon as the wind lays back down the action is on once again. Great time to go flounder gigging so book that trip and dont miss out.
