    Flounder help

    Hows it going guys? I might go fishing in about a week and I was thinking of targeting flounder. I will more than likely be fishing from the beach or surf and will try to catch flounder with lures. I have the DOA shrimp in glow/white color and also the Texas Trout Killer 2. I also have some hard plastic lures as well as some soft plastics from Texas Tackle Factory like the double rigged shad. I was wondering what the best method of fishing for flounder would be with lures.

    Also, do flounder take dead mullet?

    Thx

    One of my fishing partners is a pretty good flounder catcher, so I try to use the same baits that he does. One of his favorites is ZOOM Fat Albert Grub in White Pearl, another is a red plastic with a white tail simulating a shrimp body. Some people swear by putting a small piece of Flounder belly skin (size of a nickle) on the hook of the jig head. Run a live bait 18 inches above that on a 6 or 7 inch leader. At times the clear water is all the way to the beach and the Spanish Mackerel come in and cut the line as if it were cut with scissors. Then you change to wire leader. They liked the white grub one day for me.

    Be Positive-- I can do this!!

    something that may help when im flounder fishing usually fall of the year drag it slow and when it feels like a tap do not set the hook just stop and wait a minute because they will grab a bait turn it and slowly eat it. give em a second to swallow it then set the hook and call me i will bring the butter and lemon pepper
