  Chester,
  
  Besides Frank, did'nt Roberta Lopis get in on the flounder replica action with her big one that went to the SCT?
  
  
  Yes, she won the replica for the month of August. In fact she should get her replica in the next two weeks.
  
  
  Frank so far is the only one with more than one fish over 20 inches registered. There's still a chance for someone to take September and I suspect some entries to come in this month. October should be red hot.

     Congrats to Thomas for that giant that he caught and released. I caught one a little smaller and his fish was larger so he now is in the lead. Go out and do it again brother the more fish caught and released the better. The action is picking up so anglers should start seeing more fish. I encourage all anglers to jump in on this wonderful program. It benefits us all as anglers. This is Frank Moore saying go fish good luck and god bless.

  This is to Frank Moore, Frank how is it that you catch so many flounder of giant size.What do you know or do that may be diffrent to other anglers techniques. I would love to know what bait and jig size you use, also what area to you looks like it will have flounder there. Im not asking you to give out your sweet spots,i would just like to be able to see the water through your eyes. I have spoke to you on the water a time or two and have seen numbers of fish you caught.My man how do you do it? Thanks,Cecil

     Cecil Here are a few answers to your questions. First i fish way more than the average guy, and try to target main areas and tide movement. Any small marsh cut that has a flow of water is always a good spot.GO out and target a certain area that you belive may have fish, work the area at a distance before gettin in close to the shore. Also take notice of bait in the area that you are fishing. Flounder will hit almost anything if dragged across it's head. But ive seen many days that if you were not throwing a live bait the bite would be little to none. I always try to match my bait live or plastic according to the bait i find in the location im fishing. Flounder at times are extremely picky, they will hit only a certain color or size bait. A few bait choices that i keep on hand are #1 GULP- this bait is probaly the best with the exception of Mud Minnows(any gulp white in color is my first choice) #2 GRUBS&BEETLES- my color selection on these baits are simple GLOW and Pearl I like white baits because most all bait fish have white on there belly. JIGS- I keep alot of diffrent sizes from 1/16 up to Half ounce . This is to me the most important tool in catching Flounder. I know that the price of tackle along with everything else has went up,but you must have strong hooks with sharp points on all your jigs. So spend a extra two bucks and buy the good ones. LIVE BAIT- when i fish live bait my personal first choice is a finger mullet 3 to 4 inchs long.I choose Mullet over Mud Minnows for two reasons. You can usualy catch mullet about any where and i dont have to worry about stopping at a bait store before i go out. LIVE BAIT RIG- I keep it simple i use a jig on the bottom or under a cork depending on where i am fishing at the time. Hook the bait shallow through the head (DO NOT!) hook it through the tail> If you do the fish has a better chance of just holding the bait as you reel it in and you have to wait longer for the hook set as the fish mouths the bait. Also not hooking the bait in the tail will result in fewer fish swallowing the bait. Plus in addition to this all fish attempt to strike a bait at the head.Well Cecil hope this helps you and a few other anglers out,GOOD LUCK AND GOD BLESS!

  Chester,Cousin are not my question is to you. Is Frank as good at catching flounder as he makes himself seem? And what are your thoughts on what he wrote to this mans question? Do you agree with it or not and are you his edge on catching fish? David Greeier

     Geez,  I thought he was just answering a guy's question honestly and trying to help him out.
     
     
     In my book Flounder Fever you will see I agree pretty much across the board with what he said. We grew up fishing together so we pretty much have the same flounder style although he prefers casting rods while I prefer spinning. Did I influence his flounder fishing? Yes. I'm a few years older and was tinkering with flounder before him but many times we were out together fishing the same water.
     
     
     Am I his edge on catching fish?
     
     
     No way!
     
     
     I'll be perfectly honest and say Frank usually outfishes me by a couple of fish and pretty much anyone else in the boat. That is unless our friend Bill Killian is with us and he usually skunks us both. And that is the God's honest truth. Some people are simply natural gifted anglers and Frank happens to be one of them whether it's flounder or bass. I'm a good angler but I have to work at it and study. Plus, I am more interested in getting a story and experimenting to help my readers more than I am catching tons of fish all the time.
