Any report on flounder in Galveston being caught after the cold front moved in?

Sorry, not cold enough yet.

Don't wait till it is shoulder to shoulder type fishing.

New flounder reg going to put a serous hurt on the run.

Flounder special regulation: Daily bag is 5 fish except for the period Nov. 1-30 when the daily bag is 2 fish and flounder may be taken only by pole and line. Possession limit is equal to the daily bag.

That is the best time to fish. You have no room to cast and all you can do is walk around try to find a hole that will hold fish ... lol
It is always an adventure going fishing for flounder down there every year.

x2.You are right .once them flounders start hitting.It turns into a zoo out there.LOL

Caught 4 15-17" Flounder. They are moving in but still to warn for them. I am going to try going at night for them tomorrow let ya'll cats know how it goes.

Went Tuesday morning near the ferry docks on the island side. High tide was at 3AM. Didn't get there til about 7. Caught 1 flounder around 9am and stayed til 11. Water isn't cold enough I guess.

I am headed out to pelican island tonight, I am going try and catch the first two hours of dropping tide around 10 ... Post tomorrow let you all know how it went.

By the way, what do you all fish with. Have any of you tried the new GULP bait ... that is the only thing they seem to bite for me well that paired with Live mud Minnow. The Sea Assasins, the Hoggies, the Floudner Pounders. They are biting nothing else. Just wondering thanks.

True Texan - Right now we been catching them on 4" Gulp mullets. I have seen other out there using live finger mullets and did not get as many hit.

Does flounder bite at night too, in the dark or where are lights in the water??????????????

In the night the flounder bite better under light.

Before hurricane Ike, I heard SLP pier was the best place to go fishing at night. Since that pier is no longer existed, where can we go to fish where there are lights. Most of the pier on Seawall are also gone.

Well, I caught 2 flounder right before nightfall then some person on a cart came yelling at me telling me I can't be in the water after dark. They must have lost thier minds telling me I can't fish a certain place; however, I had parked on thier land and lord knows what they could have done with my car or to me when I walked back up to my car if I would not have gotten out. Next time I will be parking down the road a bit and walking to my fishing spot like I have seen many do .. screw paying them thier 12.00; Anyhow other than that nothing, I went out to the pier and spent more time getting reeled in by another fisherman than fishing. Was sickening. Truly. I did however see a few Bull Reds be pulled in, they were catching them on Cut Sand Trout and Finger Mullet. I caught the Flounder on Mud Minnows and a (New penny) Gulp .. Minnow (NOT THE SHRIMP) Good luck in finding them .... Academy is almost your only bet.

I am wading tomorrow morning. Hopefully I have some luck, As last night left a bad taste in my mouth. Anyways, As always I will post on Sunday. GL to you all this weekend.

Well, it was not all it was cracked up to be, I caught about 6 flounder on saturday morning but only two of them were keepers and one was barely 15 so I ended up only keeping the 18 inch one I caught. O well, maybe it will get colder soon. Anyone else having any luck anywhere else ?

I did see quite a few more people out there fishing and one 25 inch NICE saddleback caught as well as a few others. But, nothing huge.

Yeah water needs to cool down some more. But going to be hard in Nov. when you can only KEEP 2 oh well guess i head to the lakes in Nov. and try my luck with freshwater. But i am heading down to Matagorda this weekend with my son and hope to catch a few flounders.

Like everyone is saying "not cold enough yet".

I went to Sea Wolf Park again last Friday the 23rd (against my own advice) and several keeper flounder are being caught and even a few nice ones. If I were you I would just keep after them and when the cold comes it will even get better.

Oh yeah it will get better LOL

What color Gulp finger mullet works best?

I have used a few different kind of GULP baits. The ones that seemed to work the best were the New Penny and there there was another one that I couldn't find anywhere other than Academy, it was Blue and Silver almost looked like the Mud Minnows. And the bigger the mud minnows the better it seems. And make sure not to get the shrimp GULPS I have been getting the POGS and they have worked much better than the Red and White tailed Hoggies. That I was taught to fish with.

We are done chasing flounder. We will try again in December.
Good luck to all and pull in a couple for us ....
Hopefully they will still be there in December.

If I pull in a couple for you I wont have any to take home.LOL

I caught a real nice flounder last Sunday near Sportsman Road. I prefer flounder myself. Caught it on piggy perch. Keeping only two in Nov is a tough. But we do what that make us do, right?

There are going to be more Game Warden around the fishing hole in the month on November than you see all year long.

2 weeks ago we got check by Game Warden twice in one Sunday. Maybe we got black hair. hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm I wonder

Just pull in a couple and release .......... lol
Shoot it only take you 5 casts to catch your limit .... lol
