David Biron
with a couple of late season flounders.
Water
Temp was Cold and vis was around 5' with allot of particles
in the water. Still it was a marked improvement from the
last time we
tried so I suited up to give it
a try. You could see the
bottom if
hunting along the edge of the break wall. As soon as you were
along
the first spot, you lost sight of the bottom. Maintaining a
good
body position in 6 ft of water was difficult. I would
dive down and
level out , barely above the bottom and then slowly raise off the
bottom about 1 ft and start to look. About 10 dives
into the hunt I
descend and as soon as I level out and start to hunt, I see
this
Gigantic flounder swim away for deeper water. As I watched it
swim,
I could hardly believe my eyes. I just couldn't get over the size
of
the fish and that I was witnessing. This was the 10+ lb' er
I had been
looking for. It does
exist ! Besides the
enormous size I remember
thinking.... WOW .... look how THICK that fish is ! What a
monster.
Evidently, I had spooked it by swimming so close to the bottom.
I'm
going to have to work on swimming farther from the bottom in shallow
water. I watched the fish swim away
and decided to hunt in its direction for a while hoping I may come
across it laying on the bottom in deeper water. Wasn't so
Lucky ,
but I now had enough mental fuel to hunt for 3 more hours :-)
During this time I found 4 more fish
and ended up taking 2 of them, 2 lb. 11 oz. and 3.5
lbs.
The fish were
kind of sparse but it was all worth it just for the glimpse
of that huge fish.
