South Mississippi here… I just found ,and watched this video and the only thing I disagree with what you said is about flounder are less likely to bite in shallow waters during summer… We caught a two man limit (20) this past Tuesday 8/20/24 in a foot to three feet of water fishing marsh grass banks! The surface temperature here is 82 to 89 degrees… I been catching flounder for approximately 50 years now ( I’m 62) and always have success anytime I target flounder… Most of your information is correct and I agree with though brother. Thank you, 🕷️
I agree, I've caught flounder in the dead heat of the summer up on the flats, not to mention I was on my poling platform and watched them swim from the deeper water column into the flats while I was fishing. I do think they like to be comforable but I think depending on the time of year they will tolerate warmer waters in order to feed. Once they get their bellies full I imagine they will slide back into cooler water temps.
Hi Rich, My favorite tide for fluke is one hour before high tide to three hours after high tide. I've caught most of my fluke at one hour after high tide. This was in the bay in the Ocean City, NJ area. Good luck and have fun, Mickey
Hi Rich, I've caught fluke at every tide but high tide to one hour after has been the most productive in the bay. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and experience. Take care and have fun, Mickey
Thank you! I'm so stoked for this upcoming live stream on sheepshead. I just spoke with Khoa earlier about it and we are ready! It's going to be PACKED with great information. Will be putting up the early link to it in the next 24 hours.
You need to figure how long the current flows after the tide reaches it max or min. You fish by current not tide. It takes 3 hours for the current to switch after a tide peak or ebb in the lower bay. So every area is different. That’s why their is so much confusion on the tides. So High tide is 3 pm @ 3pm in the lower bay the water is still rushing in hard. But the tide is at its peaks. Then you have the stall 3 hours later and immediately the flow changes in the direction of the ebb tide. Every area is different depending on the location.

Those are good times to catch the high current flows!

Great interesting topic !!!
Awesome info. I can’t wait to watch sheepshead episode too.

we have 36 foot tides here, hard to find unless you own a boat that can go in open water
