Flounder
I snagged a 3-4 inch flounder today. Im not sure if it was a winter flounder or a fluke, it was tannish colored. My question is , if the juvenile flounder was there, would there also be adults in the same area? I snagged it on a crippled herring on a beach in gansett. DO you guys think i could catch some larger ones in the same area i found the juvenile??

The winter flounder are on the beach. I see the small draggers working on them in the morning. The draggers are towing in about 80' of water or so. Flounder are one of the first things these guys work on. Adult fluke should be coming in from offshore as we speak. Have no idea where baby fluke go for the winter, but if I had to guess it would be offshore--like their parents.

So if i went back to where i got the juvenile, and used a lure for specifically for flounder, would there be adults in the area i could catch from shore?

Yeah, but you're doing a helluva job on them throwback blackbacks, Chef!  |

Chef,
Do you know what it was, other than just a flatfish? There are more than just fluke and flounder around these waters and many of the flat fish, like hogchokers, are next to impossible to cath on a hook and line. If you want to go flounder fishing use bait, they're too slow to hit a lure and they feed mostly on small invertabrates.

I use to catch windowpanes (a meatless tan almost see-thru flat fish) while surfishing..they would hit redfins of all things.
