The first step was taken this week to increase the size limit for flounder in South Carolina’s waters. H 3665 General Bill was introduced into the South Carolina State House by Rep. Bill Hixon of District 83. […]
Nobody wants to pay a fine for keeping an undersized fish, too many fish, or for shooting an animal out of season. They also don’t want to get stuck with the stigma of being labeled a poacher. You don’t worry about it because you don’t break the law. […]
With a couple months before flounder show up inshore, die-hard fishermen can still hook up to a king-sized fluke in February, but they will have to venture out in a much larger boat and travel many more miles from the dock. […]
A judge from Raleigh on Thursday said he would issue a another temporary injunction prohibiting the Oct. 16-Dec. 31 closure of flounder fishing in North Carolina as part of a lawsuit filed by two commercial-fishing groups and three coastal counties. […]

I’ve said this several times, but it bears repeating — September is the toughest month of the year to decide on a recipe. That really shouldn’t be a surprise though; fall begins in September, and with it there are all kinds of hunting and fishing opportunities for sportsmen in the Carolinas. […]
What is the best flounder bait? At the risk of sounding obnoxious, it’s what the flounder want to eat that day. The popularity nod goes to live baits, but artificials often produce well, too. […]

After a short run up the Intracoastal Waterway in lower Brunswick County, Greg Holmes banked his flats boat into one of the many small creeks. Clearing the shoal at the mouth, he chopped the throttle, turned off the outboard and stepped forward to lower the trolling motor. In a couple of minutes, he had the boat positioned and dropped his Cajun Anchor to hold the boat in place. […]
Over the summer, the flounder fishery runs strong inside the estuaries and around the inlets close to Little River. Anglers get plenty of opportunities to reach their limit with a bucketful of mud minnows or their favorite soft-plastic bait, but the inshore lairs aren’t the only places to load up on a limit of flounder either.
