Winter Flounder

[Got Stripers]

One of my first salt water fishing experiences as a young kid was sitting on my dads 27 foot sailboat in Scituate Harbor dunking sea worms for flatties.

. . . and me, sitting on my grandfather's boat at the mooring in LI Sound catching them. Two years ago I caught one about 10 inches long during the summer in Fishers Island Sound while scup fishing. Only the second one that I have seen in years, since I worked in New Bedford. The other one was legal sized but out of season, caught while cod fishing on Coxes.

Back when I was a kid growing up in NY (1960s/70s) I would read advertisements in the Friday edition of the NY Daily News of bus trips from NY to Quincy to fish for winter flounder.
