  • September is Flounder season here in NC and everyone is on the hunt. Too bad it takes one or two drops to get your one fish limit. Sheepshead and Black Drum have 10 fish limits so you can still have a fun day out on the water. I took another look at that first Flounder and I am sure that it was a Gulf Flounder as well, you can see three distinct spots when he is still in the water. I always seem to catch Gulf Flounder at that spot, odd. Get out there and be somebody.
    16' Sundance Skiff, 30HP Mercury
    Daiwa Saltist LD30H - Penn Carnage II 6'2"
    Shimano Stradic 4000 - Fenwick HMG 7', Medium Fast
    100 Pound Power Pro, 80 Pound Fluorocarbon Leader
    43:2 Fishing Jawbreaker Jig
    Catch Red Jointed Fiddler Crags in muddy marsh grass areas. I recommend wearing gloves so you can pick them up faster and sunglasses so you don't get poked in the eyes by the tall grass.
    Catch Sea Urchins on pilings and other structure below the high tide line (WEAR GLOVES, the spines are non-venomous but can leave splinters and oyster cuts are nasty), I recommend using a crab net.

    Enjoy watching younger fishermen (I'm88) fish sheephead. In my younger years we would get a second hand (worn out) garden hoe, bend it with a torch then use it to scrape the side of the piling. Waite a few minutes then start fishing; oysters, crabs, schrimp. what ever we had for bait. VERY PRODUCTIVE.

    It's funny DMF says recs can't identify the difference between flounder and that's why the commercial guys can take tens of thousands of summers with trawls but we can't keep any until now.

    • @paulmoss7940

      🎁 in the right. Legislating on bad data. More 🤡overreach to come on previously unregulated species🐟😡

    • @popnshots9139
      @popnshots9139 Před rokem +4

      It would be nice if they decoupled the flounder limit from being inclusive of all species (southern, gulf, and sumner) and place individual limits on each species, since it’s the Southern that’s considered endangered. However, the powers that be assume that fishermen cannot correctly identify and place the limit toward all. Interesting that they assume that I cannot identify a fish in my hand, but it’s expected that I can identify a duck flying at 50mph in early morning light and shoot the right one that’s in season. Seems backwards .. just saying

    • @offkilterfishing
      @offkilterfishing  Před rokem +3

      If you GENTLY tap it with a wood block it will mostly stay together but will allow you to get to where you can hook it through the mouthparts on the underside easier. Busting the urchin releases scent and drives the fish crazy. The only part that really has to be on the hook is the center section known as "Aristotle's Lantern".
