10 days from now the winter flounder season starts. Anyone have any plans to get right out there after them?? The past several years have been dismal, but I heard plenty of guys limiting out too.
Spearing them may be something I would like to give a try this year.

I did really well last year and hope this year is just as good.With 35 years of practice with flounder I have found some techniques that work all the time.My small boat has been ready since feb.Ready for some tasty fillets. I fish the lower ct river and stonington.
Hiya CaptainCrusty and welcome. Great looking "small boat" you have there.
My even smaller boat gets no rest over the winter.
I too have a few years experience with the flounder but that was 20-25 years ago. I may have tried twice in the past year or two with no success. Maybe this will be my year.

My small boat is a 14 ft. alum. that has been in family since my father bought it for striper fishing in 1957.
I caught these on 4-25-08.We could have a private talk on the best way to catch these.I have seen you on the water.I spent 5 yrs on a shark and tuna charterboat as 1st mate,put my hrs in and now have 100 ton masters.
Ahhh now the small boat comment makes sense.
I appreciate you willing to share some tricks, when I know I will be able to get out, I will give you a shout.
Back when I could bail those flatties, I did real well outside bluff point.
Seems like if you want to catch them now you have to be more inside.
