Flounder Rig
May 4, 2009 Rigs
Flounder are some of the most sought after fish from the piers and surf. The mild taste of the flakey white fillets is a huge reason why so many people are flounder fishing. Another thing that makes them so popular is that there is no need for a vast amount of specialty tackle. Let’s take a look at what you should be looking for in a flounder rig.
Flounder are ambush feeders and lay in wait for their prey to drift by within range. For this reason the perfect flounder rig should be able to cover as much area as possible. You will never find a flounder rig with a 4 ounce pyramid sinker. If the fish does not move and the bait does not, you will never get a bite. By using a round sinker, disc sinker or cigar sinker gives the surf fisherman the ability to cast the flounder rig and retrieve slowly to cover as much ocean as possible.
