Yea so that it is clear, there is a diffrence in flounder and fluke. Flounder are in the deep water ocean drop offs all summer, we fish for flounder(winter flounder) until May 19th this year here. After that the inshore fishery is for fluke.
Flounder is what I believe the southern boys go after and it is what we call winter flounder and it is a right side fish. The summer version we get hear is called fluke and it is a left side fish that migrate in to shallower inshore locations during the summer months. Usually a much bigger fish especially later in the season.
At least that is my understanding ;)

Did somebody say Flounder? ;) A summer flounder is also known as a Fluke, winters offshore and migrates inshore during the season. These fish tend to migrate straight inshore / offshore, and maybe slightly north as they grow.

Winter flounder are a differnt sub-species, are opposite eyed, and don't grow nearly as large as summer flounder. Winter flounder range as far south as VA (barely) but are most common from NJ north.

Southern Flounder are found from NC and south. They are found in the shallow coastal bays in the Carolina's and south. The Carolina's see some summer founder, but generally outside the surf line and not in the coastal bays. Southern Flounder are also found in the land of Stinky-Hooker.

That's my knowledge of flounder / fluke / winter and southern flounder. I don't know much of the yellowtail flounder, but will make it a point to learn.
