Fluke and Flounder

[Blue_Runner]

People tend to call fluke flounder. Especially down south. I've never ever caught a flounder, but I've also caught a many a fluke, which I subsequently called flounder. It must be a southern thing cause I don't know anybody down here that calls a fluke a fluke.

Down here fluking is something you do to get pregnant!

Flounder fishing is what we do for flukes :)

If it has teeth its a fluke and if it doesn't its prolly a flounder. Also I hear fluke is a left-sided fish (eyes on left) while flounder is right-sided (eyes on right).

I've never needed to tell the difference because there must not be many flounder down this way!
