Hi All.
I am hoping to gather some tips on fishing for flounder. My partner is obsessed with catching flathead but I have heard a rumor that there are plenty of other fish in the sea and would like to start trying to catch some of them - flounder being fist on my list.
The best advise I have received to date (from persons who shall remain nameless) is "just keep fishing for flathead and eventually you'll accidentally catch a flounder". However I'd like to be a little more proactive...
I'm currently fishing with soft plastics on a Shimano Sonic Pro 7 foot rod and a Shimano Sienna 2500 reel with 6lb Fins braid, 10lb flourocarbon leader and about 1/8th Jig head.
So far I have only really focused on flathead so my technique is to skip the lure along the bottom.
Any tips on technique, gear, or what to look for in a good flounder spot would be greatly appreciated!
Cheers,
