Hey there Tyderunner, and welcome to the BFT message boards!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
We have both winter and summer flounder here as well. I rarely target the winter flounder, as I don't take kindly to the cold weather too much. [
] I've always used steel leader for flounder, for as long as I can remember. But I went to a seminar not long ago and learned of this new tactic with mono leader.(atleast new to me) I also came to find that even the charter captains couldn't agree on that one. LOL, half used steel leader, and half used mono leader. It was actually comical to see them bicker back and forth.
I, however, and going to a flourocarbon leader when i'm targeting them around rocks or sandy bottoms. If i'm around reef material or oyster beds, i'm going to stick with a fine piece of 7 strand or maybe some of that Tiger tieable leader material.
My best Flounder thus far is 6.7 pounds. Which is no slouch. But, I really haven't been serious about targeting inshore species for the last few years. Maybe i'll take a little time this year to do so.
Thanks for your inputs tyderunner! We look foward to hearing more of your tactics.
