Local Freeport /Baldwin/O'side Creek Flounder, Safe to Eat?

Good question. I'd be interested to hear some input on the safety of eating fish out of these waters as well. I've fished for Flounder at the base of Milburn creek. I never do as well as other people have reported, but I guess that's the norm. As a kid I did a good deal of crabbing in that area, even further up Milburn Creek. I ate the crabs and I'm still alive, although come to think of it, I get theses hallucinations sometimes :).

As far as fishing Merrick Bay for Flounder I usually do pretty well around the point by the houses. I try and get as close to the flats as possible and position my boat so that the current pushes the chum up onto the flats. I’m no Flounder sharpe but this technique seems to work.
