The tasty flounder is agreat sport fish you can target in Rhode Island waters, and is also relativelyeasy to catch.  Every day during the summer in Rhode Island hundreds ofboats are out there along the south shore targeting this great fish.  Byfollowing a few tips you can enjoy success and become a better flounderfisherman.   Summer flounder are a funny-looking spotted brownishfish with a totally white underside, often nearly as wide as they arelong.  They have two eyes on one side of their head and swim with the eyesupward (which are on the brown side), tending to cruise along the bottomlooking for food, not moving too far away from it.  They cruise about 1-3feet off the bottom looking for something to eat, usually taking advantage ofthe current from the tides to cover ground.  Often they will spook somesmall life form as they approach, and a small puff of mud or motion is sent intothe water which attracts the flounder to that area and where he will pounce onthe poor creature.  This interesting habit is the one we exploit whenfishing for them.Ok, so you’ve decided togo out and find some flounder.  Well, they aren’t always in the same placeevery day.  As the season progresses, you have to go into deeper anddeeper water to find them, as the water heats up during the season. Sometimes they move east or west with the tide.  They prefer sandybottoms, so these are where you want to be and you always drift for them.  If there are areas where bait hang out nearthe bottom they will be there.  Neverspend more than 15 minutes on a drift when searching for them, that is thepoint many anglers don’t understand, keep moving until you find a good driftwhere you catch 4 or more fish. Then keep doing that drift until it nolonger produces well.  Sometimes I may move 10 times or more beforefinding them.  If the drift speed is slow, the flounder fishing will beslow.  If the drift is too fast, either slow the boat down with a driftsock or sea anchor, or give it up if you can’t slow the boat down enough tocatch fish.  Some anglers will stay on adrift an hour or more even when its not producing.Onward to rigs and methods. A typicalflounder rig uses a 3-way swivel with sinker snap and a 30” leader with somekind of fluke rig attached.  It can be as simple as a bare hook, or veryelaborate with spinners, small squids and beads, etc.  The sinker isimportant, as you need to have your rig on the bottom to catch thesefish.   Let me say that again, if your rig does not stay on thebottom, you cannot catch these fish. The rig itself, will often be a simple green squid and a spinner bladeworks pretty well.  Catching colors can change, and size of the spinnerblade.  But a bare hook doesn’t always work that well.  Of course, wealways put bait on the hook.  It might be squid, smelts, peanut bunker, orstrips of flounder belly.  Depends on what is working that day. Squid is usually a good bet to bring.  Cut it into long strips and hook ita couple times before putting it down.  Now, as for sinker weight, use thesmallest sinker that will keep your rig on the bottom, so you can jig it. The rig should always be jigged, never let it drag on the bottom.  Agentle jigging, lifting the rod tip no more than 12” and back down till youfeel the sinker hit the bottom.  Down below, what happens is your rig ismoving as the boat moves along, and each time the sinker hits the bottom, itmakes a noise and a puff of sand or mud.  This noise and puff of mudattracts the attention of the flounder, and the bait on the hook tastesgood.   This is what brings them in. Sometime more jigging is better, other times less jigging is better.  You’ll have to spend a little time figuringout what the prefer for that day.Now, on to hooking thefish.The big mistake I see here is everyone wants to haul back quicklyas soon as they feel a hit.  This is a really bad idea, as the floundertypically grabs the very end of the bait farthest away from the hook.  Sowhen you jerk the rod, it just pulls the bait out of his mouth, or off thehook, and you miss the fish.  The trick is to lift the rod tip slowlyuntil he is hooked or lets go of the bait.  Lifting the rod slowly canaggrevate the fish into taking more of the bait into its mouth so you can hookit.  Once he is hooked, then you canproceed with reeling him in.  Use a light tip rod, a rod with a heavy tipmakes it hard to feel the hits and hard to tell when you’ve hooked thefish.  Put two anglers side-by-side, one with with a heavy rod, and theother with a light rod.  The angler with the light rod will outfish theone with the heavier rod every time, given the same level of skill.  I have seen it happen many times.If you want to catch bigones, put on a big bait and be patient. You’ll still get little ones going after the bait, but all the activitycan attract the bigger ones.  If youfollow some of these points you’ll be rewarded with more flounder in theboat.
