Sunday/Monday - Flounders and Bottomfish
After a slow day on Saturday looking for speckled trout in the backwaters following a ton of rain, both Capt. Mike Taylor and myself decided to work the nearshore live bottoms with our Sun/Mon. trips to find some Summer Flounder. Sat. my crew and I scoured a bunch of live bottoms and found some good places holding flounder, Seabass, and more around midday. We fished these bottoms hard for a while and hooked-up with 9 flounder, a mess of Sea Bass and Grunts, and a pretty 3lb Tautog. Capt. Mike Taylor shot back out to some of these bottoms on Monday and found a better bite on the flounder and they brought back 14 pretty Summer Flounder and a mess of big Seabass and Grunts. The action along the hard bottoms and reefs is picking up quickly. Capt. Jeff Cronk- FISH'N4LIFE CHARTERS- 910-326-7512 Capt. Mike Taylor- TAYLOR-MADE CHARTERS 252-725-2623.
