Crazy and the rest of the fishing fanatics....

I recently heard about Flounder being caught from shore in the northern end of CT (i.e. Mystic/Norwich areas).

I usually don't start fishing for Flounder until my hangover wears off after St. Patty's Day. But the curiosity is killing. I dug some bait this afternoon and I'm heading to a private beach (don't worry, I'm allowed) in Westbrook. Now Westbrook isn't as far north as the locations mentioned, but figured I'd hit the beach anyway to alleviate the cabin fever.

Have any of you heard of Flounder being caught, especially from shore in the CT. area? I would appreciate your input.

Thanking all in advance,

So what do you do with the Flounder you catch? Personally, I love the taste of the fish and would only take what I truly need and then leave.

What happens when you accidentally catch Flounder while bottom fishing?

I only ask because you made it sound like I was targeting them just to throw them back into the water while injured.

Please explain. Thanks.

I should have mentioned the CT Flounder regulations are different than in New York. I check the DEP website and there in no "off-season" in CT.

Thanks for clarifying what you had said earlier. I am a big fan of our flat friends and hope they remain a viable sport fish for years to come.
