Flounder gigging with Carolina ALL OUT

Brian Cope Flounder, Inshore

Get ready for flounder season

Chris Douglas with Carolina ALL OUT went flounder gigging last season with Mike Laws on Harkers Island. With a daily limit of four per person in 2021, they collected a nice mess of flounder. The limit is down to one for the upcoming 2022 season in North Carolina, but the South Carolina limit is five per person/per day.

Rather than gigging with a traditional-looking gig that has a forked tip with multiple points, they’re using what’s known around the Crystal Coast as a walking gig, which is quickly gaining popularity throughout both Carolinas.

North Carolina’s 2022 season will run Sept. 1 through Sept. 30 with a 15-inch minimum size limit. South Carolina’s flounder fishery is open year-round with a 16-inch minimum size limit. The same size and creel limits apply to rod-and-reel fishing and to gigging.
