The last 2 years when I have gone r/r fishing for flounder, I have only come home with 1 flounder, per trip, that was barely over 14". So, I started calling myself the 1 flounder lady. Well, I have good news, I have advanced and am now the 2 flounder lady.
My day started at 2:00 am this morning (2 hours earlier than planned) with only 3 hours of sleep. I guess it was because of the much anticipated day of driving to Galveston, picking up some finger mullets to fish for flounder with, going to a place I have heard good things about and saw flounders being caught there last Saturday; plus, I was going to get to stay all day.
The day started off real good. I got the spot I wanted, right where flippincrazy sets up. People were getting real thick, I was happy to be there early and get "the" spot. I caught the first fish, a 22" flounder and I caught the second fish, a 21" flounder. Then others started catching them, too. I was ecstatic and happy that I bought 2 dozen mullets! It was looking like a real good day for fishing.
Little did I know that the bites would slow down and I would not catch any more flounder for the remainder of the day, while I was watching others catch them. Something else kept eating my bait. Probably stone or hermit crabs.
At 4 pm, I packed up for my 85 mile ride home only to get stuck in horrific traffic on I45. Construction and 2 accidents made this trip more than 2 hours long.
I met and fished with some real nice people today. They are great when it comes time to net the fish. I got a pic of Dean with one of his flounder and the other man is named Steve. Great guys! I truly enjoyed sitting by the water, watching boats go by, watching waders fish and visiting with others. I will be going again. Soon, I hope.
