Flounder Bait - What And When To Use

Tue, 01 Jun 2010 11:33:31 -0400

The flounder is a species that can be found in Canada and along the Eastern and Western coast of the United States. This is a unique fish with some amazing qualities. For example, when they mature one of their eyes will migrate to the other side giving them two eyes on one side. This has a lot to do with the fact that they lie half buried in the sandy bottoms of the ocean waiting for a tasty meal to go by. The eye from the side that is next to the ocean's floor goes through metamorphosis and moves to the upper side. The flounder is a flatfish that can put up a really good fight once hooked. They also taste delicious and this is the two main reasons so many anglers go out searching for them. They are considered a predator because they do ambush their prey from the bottom of the ocean where they are very hard to see. They mostly feed off of smaller fish, crustaceans and polychaetes. If you want to catch and reel in flounder you need to get their attention first. This requires using baits they are attracted to. **End Summary** Topics: flounder bait]]> flounder fishing tips]]> founder fishing tactics]]> saltwater fishing secrets]]>]]> About the Author: ]]> Dan Eggertsen is a fishing researcher and enthusiast who is committed to providing the salt water fishing information possible.

Flounder Fishing Tips

Tue, 01 Jun 2010 11:33:22 -0400

The flounder is a unique fish with some odd features. The average size for this flatfish is about fifteen inches but they have been caught measuring in at around three feet. They are a predator fish that can be found about twenty-five to thirty miles offshore where they lie in wait to ambush their prey. They prefer being in waters with sandy bottoms but they can survive in waters with rocky bottoms and around reefs. One of the most extraordinary features of the flounder is their eyes. They have an eye on each side of their head when they are young but this will change as they mature. The flounder lie quietly on the bottom of the ocean and wait for food to come by. As they mature metamorphosis occurs in which one of their eyes (the one on bottom) will actually migrate to the opposite side of the head. As a result, they have two eyes on one side and none on the other. This is a species that is sought out for the sport of fishing and for their great taste. **End Summary** Topics: Flounder fishing tips]]> flounder fishing tactics]]> flounder secrets]]> saltwater fishing techniques]]>]]> About the Author: ]]> Dan Eggertsen is a fishing researcher and enthusiast who is committed to providing the salt water fishing information possible.
