I wish I got to experience these days. Now the winter flounder fishery is dominated by the commercial netters, and by the time they allow you to start fishing theres little to no fish around. Two fish at 13" is it? How ridiculous is that. This fishery has been decimated, and the Comm guys are the ones to blame. Yes, the rec's took their fair share, but atleast it was stopped. Yet the commercial guys are still allowed to run amok and destroy the fishery further. I guess Foodtown needs its fish!
For those who are just getting to know about flounder fishing, Summer Flounder(Fluke) face towards the left and have teeth. On the other hand, however, winter flounder dont have teeth and they face towards the right. There! That should stop all of the comments!
Folks...these are WINTER Flounder...not summer flounder (fluke) I am going to continue removing ALL replies and discussions involving fluke...let's stay on topic..I have anotehr fluke video or two you can discuss fluke on all you want...
You guys have to PAY ATTENTION...these are WINTER flounder NOT Fluke....you comment is irrelevent becxause the keepr size for WINTER flounder is 12 inches
Flounder -- This brown fish is the most common shallow-water flatfish in North America. It is a right-sided flounder, which means that it has both eyes on the right side. The tail area on the eyeless side of some individuals, especially larger ones, is yellow, which is why the fish is often called "lemon sole".
Ehum.... A flounder is not a fish... it's a whole FAMILY of fishes. It's correct that all flounders swims with thier right side up. If the "flounder" swim with the left side up, then its not a flounder. Examples on that is turbot and brill, those fishes are not "flounders". I don't know the English term for this family thou, but in Swedish, they're called "var" ( slätvar, piggvar, bergvar ect, ect. )
no shit but all the people who live there when they say flounder they mean smaller fish colder weather and when they say fluke theyre talking about bigger fish and warm weather
not to be a jerk, just to inform you fluke and flounder are two different species over here in staten island. different shape, diet and preferences. taking a good look at both fishes mouths would be the easy way to figure it out.
do you just drag the bait against the bottom with the tide until you get a fish?
