Portsmouth Island Fall 2014 Report
 

We had 7 guys on the trip, the weather was perfect, the fish were biting. We ended up catching 20 keeper flounder, 2 slot red drum (both just under 27 inches), and plenty of all the other stuff you always catch, spots and blues and pompano.

If the limit on flounder was still 14" we would have had another 20 keepers...if it was still 12" we would have had 100 total, I've never seen the flounder in the surf like that.

Already looking forward to the spring trip.

Man yall worked them flatfish pretty good!! Nice work man!!

Nice! Here in NJ those 17"ers are all throwbacks...:cry:

Another great report Randleman.

Beautiful Pics!

Fantastic pictures! Looks like yall had a great time. Nice flounder, thats some good eatin there. Im jealous! How was the weather/temperature?

The weather was perfect...I wore shorts and no waders the whole time, light wind, 70 - 75 degrees.

We ate fresh fish every night until we were stuffed and still had 3 gallon size ziplocks full of filets to take home.

Had a fish fry for the family on Thursday night...just as delicious as on the island.
