Any of my RP Professional Pro's know if the inshore flounder have started arriving? I thought it was safe to assume that they start arriving in November. Thinking about a quick turn and burn. Would like to have a probability beforehand. Thanks in advance! As always...

Ok, 55 views no response. Let me rephrase the question. Can I have your opinion on Flounder fishing in November?

OK, OK. I asked around and yes people are catching flounder right now so I guess the season has started.

I usually launch my zodiac off Tucson beach in Cholla. Any good areas there or should I be looking further south?
Roberto
One guy is catching them at the mouth of the harbor

That sounds fun, never caught a flounder. What bait do they use? I understand they do a lot of chumming in places like louisiana

How long does 'Flounder Season' go? We will be down over Christmas for 2 weeks.

I caught a nice one in Kino from my kayak last thanksgiving, it hit on a silver spoon after bouncing it off a rocky shoreline into a deep pool and reeling. It was exciting! And tasty!

I've seen them displayed at JJ's boat launch from Nov-March. Yep, very tasty.

Flounder is one of my favorites. We buy it at Sea Products frozen and bread it and fry it in canola oil. Yum! The medium filets are a little over $3 a pound ($100 pesos/Kilo) and worth every penny. Here is a photo of their prices taken a couple of weeks ago.

There is a nice sandy area just west of Pinto Point in Cholla. You can see it on google maps. I alway thought if I was a flounder that's where I would hangout.
Roberto
Friend caught what he thought was probably a 10 pounder. He thought it was a big ray till he got it up. He says also look for a deep spot and that's where they hang out.

I thought it was too windy New Year's eve for boating so I hit La Pinta estuary after high tide. Found numerous flounder close to shore and kept a few. They were predominately females with immature egg sacs developing. Great way to end 2014! Using silver spoons retrieved very slowly. Tight lines to everyone in 2015!!!

jerry
My friends were sailing hobies up near ElGolfo and caught a lot
Wood Spinner
I just picked up one a few days back off Los Conchas, about 18 in. Now idea why as we were fishing for trigger and rock bass on a reef
AZRob
They must be hungry. Rock bass taste a lot better than Triggers. I don't think Ill ever eat another trigger in my lifetime.

That's weird. I've posted a million photos on this site using photo bucket but I never knew that you could see the whole album!!! LOL good thing I dont have any FOTOS MALAS in there!!! or at least I dont believe I do... how embarrassing! Thanks WAHOO!!! haha

On the subject of the avatar, thank you! I found it about 4 years ago and I loved it so much that I had it tattooed on the greater part of my upper right arm. I love everything Dia de los Muertos. I think that started in 7th grade Spanish class.

Have been lucky to get "Pargo" as shrimp by catch. Sweet pictures



Would love to catch a Pargo one day out of the kayak. Leigh said they used to be thick in the water off of the North side of the lighthouse in Lobos but are hard to catch these days.

Saturday and Sunday in waist high water at low tide in Cholla Bay. Caught about 15 of these flatties.

Warm enough to stand in for a couple hours. Plenty of people swimming all weekend. I like it warmer.

Save a few for me, Cholla Derby coming up in a couple of weeks. LUCKY CHUCKY might be mad if he found out that you fished his spot without asking for his blessings.

Great report and picture.
