I had the great pleasure of attending the ICAST show in Orlando a few weeks ago. I've been busy working on a bunch of projects with Texas Fish & Game so I have not had time to post anything from the show until now. Here are some items that could help your flounder fishing efforts.

Frabill has a new collapsible net that will be great for pier fishermen and those fishing from bridges and other structure along the shore.

This hook (believe it or not) requires no knot. You can tie them within five seconds without a knot and to test it I asked for the smallest hook they had and even with my big hands only took about 10 seconds and it was my first try.

How many of you are using Gulp or other wet type lures/baits for flouhner? I know I am.  Well, Plano has a great system to keep them in good order and you from having to deal with that funky odor in your boat.

Patrick Sebile of his namesake company gave a great demonstration of some of his new lures, including a soft plastic version of his stick shad. Swim baits as many of you know have become extremely popular on the fresh and saltwater markets and he showed just how this one can be used on a Carolina rig and a drop shot. Watching this one as a Carolina made me want to rig one up as soon as I get home and give it a shot. A swim bait on a Carolina rig. This could hold some promise for flounder.
