Thats cause you southern boys ain't never seen no real flounder. You need to have winter first..lol  

We have a flounder fishery in the winter. The fish are smaller, have very small mouths and are right sided. Much better eating too. What we call fluke are their summertime cousins. They are quite larger with big mouths full of very sharp teeth, and left sided. And believe it or not, they are not the same species you catch in Florida. The southern range of these fish are the Carolinas.

In the summer we also have Spotted flounder AKA sundials or window panes, and Four Spotted Flounder. Sundails are not really good eating, they are really thin but they make pretty good strip bait. Four Spots are almost the same as fluke just slightly smaller and have a very profound 4 spot pattern on their backs.

That's pretty cool!  Maybe we should take a closer look at our flukes...I mean flounders!

Gee, Cpt. Bill, those fish of yours are swell !!   You must be a real good fisherman, huh ?!  Wow, when I grow up, I'm gonna catch the big one's just like YOU, Cpt. Bill !!!

OK, OK.... so I'm a little bitter over here..... I fished all day today, up at 0300, fishing at 0530... and not a bite all day.  The wind picked  up about 1030 and it was a struggle afterwards, nothing.  Pulled the boat at 1430, smelling skunky.

But I commend you, Bill.... I love the photo of the Striper - one of my favorites... and can't wait to see some Fall pictures of the Blues when they show up in your area... I think they get back up in your area in the Fall.  Do you fish for Blues, Bill?  I like 'em. They're G-U-D Good !!

Thanks for sharing your photos, hopefully next week I will contribute a few halibut photos to the flatfish menagerie....

Cheeeeeers, T :drunken:

So, what is it in their genes that causes fluke/flounder to be born with one eye on each side of the head, then the one eye migrate over to the other side?

And why do all grouper end up female?
