The thread Coe started about the Lone Star News paper made the think. Their issue in mid July had an article about the decline of flounder in the LLM. I thought, well maybe, but I have seen several stud flounder caught there this past year, more so than the past decade. Well I guess I was lucky,lol.
I got a call from a good friend this evening giving me an update on a tournament out of SPI he guided in. He put his client on the best red of the tourney, but the trout were tough today. Side note cool tourney format. One red, trout, and flounder per team, but the trout can not be larger than 25", so no big girls die just to weigh in in a tourney, I like it. Back to my point. He said as of 20 mins left in the weigh in time, no one had weighed in a flounder. This is out of 130 boats! And bait was allowed.
That IMO is pretty scary, to think that out of all those boats they couldn't come up with a good flounder, or hell a couple dozen flounder for that many boats. Just thought I would relay this since I know many here have a special place in their hearts for flounder. Ok, I'm off to bed, gonna be on the water in a couple hours. West Bay bound, so don't motor up on me and anchor on top of me and start chunking croaker!!, I won't be as polite as Kenny!! LOL
