| I was wondering the same thing. Iv'e never fished them intentionally and really wanted to try and catch some this year. I normally see people catching them at folly park by the rocks on the bend but because of the hurricane you cant go that way... |

| I have done a lot of drifting and trolling for flounder in NC. What did the hurricaine do the park? Is it fishable by boat? |

I fished about 4 miles of the Folly River the other day and no fish, didn't even seee any ... if thats any indication
Bragging may not bring happiness,
but no man having caught a large fish,
goes home through the alley.

| Since the erosion was so bad once the rough weather came along it eroded even more and messed up the building pretty bad. There's no doubt in my mind it will still be accessible by boat. |

| I caught a 12" flounder off my neighbors dock in January on a red jig with a white curly tail.That has been it so far this year. |

My understanding is that flounder generally move offshore throughout the winter to spawn. However, the first years remain inshore as they have not reached a spawning age. These are the fish I think most of us are catching now -- they should be about 12 to 14 inches.
I don't think it's an exact science and I am no expert, but in my experience the flounder start to show up again when the water temp moves back up to around 65 degrees. In my creek (which is in North Inlet near Georgetown), the temperature of of today was 66.9 degrees. As a result, I'd expect to start seeing "real" flounder soon but I'm not surprised that results have been slow up to this point.
Hopefully it'll pick up soon! |
