First Flounder

Tuesday, September 29, 2009

On Monday of this week I had the opportunity to fish with my good friend and missionary, John Shepherd.  He is staying in Surf City this week and hasn’t fished in the salty stuff much.  So we headed out in the morning before the wind got bad searching for some flounder. 

John lives in the foot hills of east Tenn. and enjoys bass and trout fishing, so he applied his techniques for catching small mouths with a C-rigged lizard to flounder fishing with Gulp! and quickly pulled 4 fish to the boat.  Two of them were nice keepers. We were fishing around the docks in the Surf City area from my boat.  The wind picked up and the bite shut down pretty quickly after that.

I filleted the flounder for John and fixed a crab/shrimp stuffing for the fish so John could cook it later for his wife.  I got word from John last night that “the flounder was like a rocket,  out of this world”!
