Night crawlers for Flounder? I've never heard of that, does that work well? How would you rigg that more specifically, i'll have to try it. I know i've always used Live Mullet or Mud minnows here in SC. Live shrimp are good bait as well, but they don't hold up to the bumping and bouncing involved with drifting. Though drifting is a killer method in the warmer months, in the colder times it doesn't work so hot. The fish slow down so much, they aren't so prone to nab it right away when it goes by like in the summer. Sometimes it's better to still fish. What i'll do is find a deep hole and anchor right in the middle. From there, i'll cast around the boat in a clock formation. Each cast, i'll let it set 5 or 10 minutes and give it a few cranks. I'll keep that up until I get the bait reeled up and then move on to the next part of the clock until i'ved fished a complete 360 around the boat. This method is devistating to flounder in the colder months when they are sluggish and holding in the deep holes rather than the shallow sloughs.
