  • 8/18 Gigging

    Well ya'll got me hooked on this gigging stuff. Even though I didn't get any on Friday's trip, it was enough just seeing other people stick their flatties and looking at all the cool life on the flats. Went out and bought a kit for myself on Sunday and with the wind laying down I hit it at 3am for the incoming tide. Waded around and found a 16"er right off the bat. Got him on the stringer and waded around for the next few hours with nothing. Finally get to a better spot and start seeing beds all over the place. Walk up onto a nice 18"er. Man it sure is exciting when your light shines onto a big 'un. At the end of the wade, I went back over to the place where I started and found tons of large beds. I had been over that spot 2 hours ago and only got the small one..... After I left, I fished the surf and got one 19" speck on a topwater off the seawall.

    I know it's not an impressive gigging stringer but I'm damn proud of it

                      Congratulations!

                      There is nothing like Flounder gigging and nothing like your first kill.

                      My poor tackle boxes and rods and reels are coated in a thick layer of dust.
