While targeting flounder, I generally pause after I feel the initial strike. I do this for a few reasons. Flounder hold their prey in locked jaws for a period of time in order to kill the bait and reposition it before swallowing. I donât get as many hook-ups when setting the hook on the first thump of a flounder strike.Editorial StaffOct 7th, 2022
Anglers have their own languages. We make up words or phrases to describe situations we frequently encounter on the water.

Without further ado, here are some of our favorite angler idioms.Editorial StaffOct 6th, 2022

One afternoon last September, I pulled into the parking lot on the inletâs west side, took a look at the water and smiled as I saw a large school of bait flashing on the surface. Something, or a lot of somethings were feeding on them.Editorial StaffSep 27th, 2022
