I'm taking a buddy of mine to PINS this weekend to fill up an icechest. Probably looking at pompano, whiting, & the occasional bull red.

Water temp is still a little too warm for the big flounder run but it will be soon. Guessing about the 1 week of dec.

Two tuna? If the yellow fins are running I'm going to be pissed. I leave town Monday. Gotta run down there this weekend and see if I can't snag a few for the freezer. Hurry up and tell me your taco joint you old fart.

So, I feel pretty proficient at finding and catching reds and trout, as long as the weather isn’t too crazy. But, flounder have always eluded me unless I’m with a guide. In the areas around Aransas Pass and Port A, what’s the strategy I need to use to put a few in the cooler?

Hold ya mouth right angle and have patience,and quietness, I use live shrimp on the bottom, a flounder will jerk different than any other bottom fish, but, ya got to be fast, sometimes its just a little hit, got to get ya feel on the line...and drink Shiner reg wouldn't hurt..look up against the bank on that shelf before the drop off bs!
