Team ReelTime had the privilege of running a charter for the Jeffrey Hulse Family this week while they were down on vacation from Pennsylvania. These guys did a stellar job of picking up the tips we gave on flounder fishing and boy did they have a blast and cash in on some great action...
Here's a recap of the day:
Above are Ryan, Allen, Jeffrey and Jeff with 3 nice keeper Flounder (20, 22, 22.5)
We departed the dock around 0700 and headed to the CBBT to provide a quick lesson in fishing for flounder. They caught on quick even though the current was swift and managed there rod and reel well. So, we headed off to a couple of spots along the CBBT and allowed them to work a combo of live bait and traditional fluke rigs.
It wasn’t long before, WHAM! FISH-ON and I think Jeffery (or was if Jeff) pulled out a Flounder!
WTG and Great Job, Jeffrey!!!
(FYI - don't catch all of them. please leave a few for your Dad "The Sponsor" : ) )
This flounder was thick, but just a little too short, so back it went ! We continued to work the around the area and soon, Jeff hooked up with a couple of through backs and then a nice Keeper:
Awesome Job, Jeff !!!
The morning progressed and the tide shifted and soon, they were on more nice fish with throw backs mixed in with Keepers.
(Pictured here is Ryan with another "almost" a keeper.)
Things progressed and then Allen's Rod bent down and away he starts cranking... This flounder was a head shaker, but Allen did a fine job of keeping the right amount of pressure on the fish:
Pictured above it Allen, with a nice 22" Keeper
(Nice Job and WTG, Allen !!!)

This trend continued and we also managed to catch an occasional oyster toad, which our guest referred to as a "in-law" fish, or something like that. LOL.
All in all, it was a FUN DAY on the H2O with a FUN CREW!!!
