The 15-Year Flounder Leap (video)
Greetings fellow flounder fanatics!
I just returned from the International Convention of Allied Sportfishing Trades (ICAST) show in Las Vegas more inspired about the future of flounder fishing than ever.
The video below is about the "15-year leap", which is the advancement in flounder fishing that is happening right now. The breakthroughs in techniques and tackle that is happening in flounder fishing via Flatfish University (TM) and through the fishing industry is more profound than what I saw between the 15 years (1996-2011) since I wrote my first flounder fishing article in Tide and began this journey. This is not hype, but reality. Incredible, revolutionary things are happening.
Walking around ICAST in Las Vegas I saw things that showed me changes in technology are creating things that will help us catch more flounder. These things simply were not available until now and I even managed to get my hands on a few of them to test out before they hit the market.
Cool, huh?
I explain more in the video but we will begin touching on these things in this weekend's sold out Flatfish University (TM) course at Gander Mtn. in Beaumont Saturday. We have another course available Sat. Aug. 20 at the same location and half of those slots are filled so book now if you want to get in on this stuff.

After you watch the video go to the bottom of the blog for a tech tip. I always try to leave you with something you can use in the field. Thank you all so much for taking the time to follow my work and for your powerful support of the cause of flounder conservation. You amaze me.
Tech Tip
In planning your flounder trips, always consider water clarity. If the water is super muddy, you will have little success. On Sabine Lake for example, a west wind over about 10 miles an hour completely kills the Louisiana shoreline because it pushes the silt from the Neches and mud flats along the channel toward the eastern banks. On your favorite holes it might be that an east wind messes with the clarity. Take time to study the area and how wind affects water clarity. Conversely, learn which winds are optimal. Also, if you are planning trips to fish a new area consult local guides or anglers on fishing forums to learn the ins and outs of wins effects on clarity where you are headed. This will save you lots of grief and wasted time and have you fishing in productive water, instead of working hard to scratch out a few fish in salty milk chocolate.
Fish with Intensity!
