Sundial
 

Caught some sundials while trying to flounder fish...they turned out absolutely delicious, and more importantly, so much more fun to catch than flounder lol, like mini-fluke jigging.

Are they abundant along the shorelines of RB? We went further south, but my final fishing goal of 2017 might just be a "placemat" sundial haha.

Are their filets translucent :confused: :eek: :)

Re: Sundial
 

Haha surprisingly they are not! Opaque white, more winter flounder-esque than fluke.

Idk if its just me, but before this year I had never even heard of a sundial. Now it seems they're being caught all over the place! Several people I know/watch videos of have caught them in the NJ surf this year.

Re: Sundial
 

some years they're thick in Shark River right around now. Some years, they aren't there. Three years ago, I think i must've caught and released 15 sundial in a 2 hour span by the tennis courts. Last year, didn't catch a single one. So, sometimes they're there, sometimes they're not.

Years ago, 20 or more they were all over the grounds.

We get them occasionally when Fluking RB...

I love sundials, aka Windowpane..
They are a great eating fish, as good as Winter Flounder. In my book WAY better than Fluke,, Some years they are very thick in manasquan Inlet around this time of year, and are caught along with Hickory shad at various times as well.. Years ago I have enjoyed some nice light tackle fishing using small bucktails in the inlet and catching Sundials and Hickory shad together.... bob
