  • RI Sat, 30 Aug

    Good day, partly sunny. Was on the water 0730 hrs.

    Did the usual; jigged a tandem rig with white bucktail and Gulp around the canal and inlet. Around 0830 hrs during low tide, I got a good pull from a feisty fish. Wondered what it was. I had to adjust the drag. It turned out to be a good size flattie. I didn’t know if it was a flounder because all my past flounder catches weren’t that big; so I never experienced a good fight from a good size flounder before.

    Caught:
    1 toad
    1 croaker
    1 short flounder
    1 keeper flounder (22”, my biggest flattie yet)

            Nice catch. Did the flattie hit the bucktail or the gulp?

              You can see in the pic, it hit the Gulp. Most flatties I catch hit the white bucktail, my go-to lure.

                That's what I thought but didn't see the bucktail.

                  Congrats on the flounder. It's always nice to be pleasantly surprised by a big fish!

                    White bucktail and gulp seem to be the ticket for those flatties.
