Flounder Fest in Jacksonville, Fla. (PICS)

[Railroader]

Was up with the sun and the incoming tide at Oak Harbor in Jax. The weather was nice with a high overcast keeping the heat at bay.

It was a flounder kind of day, with my total for the day being seven ranging in size from 8" to 22"
inches...I also caught three little trout, two TINY redfish, and two sailcats.

The bait of choice was Gulp! shrimp and swimming mullet. I also had some mud minnows along, but today Berkley's claim of "Outfishing live bait" seemed to be true....:rolleyes:

Check out this 22" Flounder...My best to date!

This was my first time fishing at Oak Harbor, but it won't be my last...:)

*No fish were harmed or unnecessarily traumatized in the taking of this photo.

My partner Roman did, however, keep a couple for his Granny's dinner table....

Nice fish there RR. Did Roman tell you about those Oak Harbor gators that like to snatch flounders off a stringer? :(

[Railroader]

I guess that Roman doesn't know about them....He hung his fish over the side all day. On the rare occaision that I do keep fish, they go in the cooler.

I grew up fishin' the Okefenokee Swamp, and learned early that gators will take your fish, given half a chance.

I'd hate to have one towin' my 'Yak around...:eek:
