HURICANE FLOUNDER

[Reanm8er]

This is what shelters into swashes and sheltered coves in prep for a hurricane, on the Atlantic coast. When the black flies start to bite, so do the flounder.

I'll eat the top one you can have the bottom one, plus two six packs of corona, that is the best fish I have ever eaten--- next to lake trout. Fry some spuds and eat till there is only bones left!!!!!!!!!!!! GREAT FISH HH

I've caught three of them like the top one. Hard as the dickens to land, but you just have to take your time. I have a folding landing net that stows into a holster on my belt. I let the fish completely wear himself out and then pull the net out and land him.
Two of them I caught were really memorable. The golf course on the other side of the swash has a lightening alarm. As soon as I hooked those two fish that alarm went off, so I'm standing in water with my rod tip up for 5 minutes playing this fish that's nearly the size of a trash can lid and there's no way I'm letting loose!
I had to get the kitchen staff to freeze them because they wouldn't fit in a standard size refrigerator.
To get access to the kitchen, I had to go to the visitors center. There was a young lady that worked there for number of years and remembered me, from one year to the next. The third time I took a flounder in to freeze she saw me coming and said "Oh Lawd, it's the flounder man. We gonna have a hurricane!"
Absolutely precious!
