Re: Quincy Flounder Report
Today couldn't have been better! Beautiful weather, great people and fantastic fishing; what more can anyone hope for? We started at Rainsford and were catching very steadily with 3 to 5 fish a drift. We were calling the size 13 inches and up and quickly went to 14 inches when I realized the pace we were setting. By the time the 1st flurry eased off we had 30 fish in the box and it was only 8am...
With 6 people (plus me) we could have taken 56 fish but I was determined to save my limit for the afternoon trip so I figured these guys didn't need "my help" and when we got to DIF I started cutting fish while they resumed bailing fish and releasing the ones under 15 inches (unless they were bleeding). While that bite was going on we got the biggest flounder I've seen (so far) this season at 18.5 inches (2 3/4 lbs).
During that melee a few stripers, the 1st of the year, also jumped into the boat but they were all short at 20-24 inches.
I then had people that wanted to go out for the afternoon and that was a continuation of the mornings bite:
The afternoon limited out quick (by 2 pm!!!) and were "quite done". To say we had happy campers today would be an understatement! Best yet, with the up tick in sizes we saw today, things look very positive for the Santini Contest on Saturday. I'm really looking forward to that!
