    Well im pretty sure im done with fresh water fishing, I bought over 300$ in fresh water equitment and thats a lot for a 14 yr old and theres no ponds around me, There tons of ponds but theres nothing in there so, Im selling most  of my fresh gear for salt water gear.


    I have been hanging out with a captin and if i work for him, Getting him bat such as mud minnows, Herring? I think is what there called Crabs ETC. He will let me be his co captin on his fishing charter One of my dreams and i just started fishibng in a marina tonight with herrings and caught a flounder but it fell off because i had a bad rig,  

    Whats a good rig for salt water flounder?

    Done? What are you talking about? You're in FLORIDA...there's more fish than water!   SmileyCentral.com
    Ashes to ashes, dust to dust, if it wasn't for my super smooth carbon drag, my 30 year old Trilene would bust!

    Here along the Texas Upper Gulf Coast, we use 1/4 to 1/2 oz jig-heads,
    painted red with a number 2 hook. We put rubber tails similar to Blue Frog
    Fluke Hopper Twin Tail Jig (white) on the jig. For good measure, we put a
    small piece of shrimp on the hook.

    To use this lure, let it drop to the bottom, and then pull the rod back making
    the jig-head jump forward. Let it settle back on the bottom and reel in the slack.
    Repeat until until the lure is brought back to rod. I usually let it sit on the bottom
    just a few seconds before starting retrieval.

    I don't know how FLA flounder react, but our Texas flounder really like it!

    Also, if you have moving water, as in the water is coming out of the marshes
    and mango, be on the downflow side. That is where flounder like to wait for
    their prey. Easy pickings for them as the bait flows with the water.

    Hope that helps some, and good luck,

    If at first you don't succeed, maybe you shouldn't try sky diving!

    Flounder can be found everywhere in FL waters. Generally, we catch them with jigs, and cut, to natural live baits such as Killy fish cigar minnows, green backs, pinfish. They can be caught on the flats, as easily in 40 feet of water. Keep your'e baits on the bottom, and retrieve them back to the boat very slowly, with an occasional jig from the rod tip. This works very well.
