Re: Flounder Giggin\' Anyone?
Yup, fairly common (in old rednecks, like me) pursuit. Usually done from a Jon boat, at night, with a battery powered lamp suspended over the bow (about 3 feet ahead of it, on a pole) with a reflector to direct light into the water (not into the eyes of the "gigger"). Low tide, calm weather, a mud flat area with 1.5 feet or less (preferably less) of water depth - just float along, though most pole or use an electric trolling motor - and spear, like Poseidon with your trident, any flounder shape lurking on the bottom. You'll get other fish on occasion, and miss lots of flounder, and drink a lot of beer, and swap a bunch of lies, and get eaten alive by mosquitoes (bug repellent is mandatory) - but alligators usually don't bother you - me, I've a shotgun in the boat.
There's, of course as with all fun pursuits, 1 problem ---- when you get back to the dock, at some ungodly hour and feeling kind of sleepy (beer may have something to do with it), there's usually a bunch of flounder in the cooler that must be filleted and bagged.
