Servicing reels this winter

[Giorgio]

Phat, again when I was a delinquent, St. Patrick's Day was always the unofficial start for our Winter Flounder season. My father would start checking the weather and making reservations at Silly Lilly's in Moriches and I would call Oscar's in the Hampton's. I have a trivia question, how can you tell the difference between a flounder (winter) and a Fluke (summer)?

No clue,G

We have Gulf flounder that range between 2 to 4 lbs. 5 to 6 pounders are called door mats. Florida's east coast flounder gets much bigger. I know u guys get them a lot bigger than we do,

The only fluke i have is my multimeter

Phat, our Fluke (summer) doormats are considered 10 lbs and bigger. The answer will come tomorrow, want to see if any one else responds.

Flounder have no teeth, Fluke do. Flounder lay on their left side, Fluke lay on their right side. Oh, and Fluke grow much bigger than flounder

interesting tid bit.... both fluke and flounder start life with their eyes like normal fish, but as they grow their eyes migrate to whatever side they don't lay on.
