Floundering for Specks
It was a beautiful day, couldn’t resist putting the boat in for some afternoon fishing.
Left the dock a little after noon and set out to fish either side of high tide looking for specs. Right off the bat I found a school of barely slot sized drum, after catching a few of those I decided to move on - Specks is what I wanted.
Put out some x-raps and trolled for a while. Caught a 16” flounder while trolling. Following the rule: “Where there is one flounder there is usually more”, I stopped and through some gulp and caught another flounder. When I was sure there were no more in that spot, off I headed again. After all, its specks that I wanted.
I hit every single high water spot that I’ve caught specks int eh past, no luck. I talked to several other captains and watched several dozen boats - seems no one was catching specks.
Can’t really complain as I have some nice flounder dinners in the box and like they say..........There’s always TOMORROW!
