The flounder (Platichthys flesus), have both eyes on one side, anglers certainly have the advantage but don't be easily fooled as flounders still pull hard, so get some strong tackles. When fishing for flounders, is it necessary to look for clear, clean waters. Unlike other fish, flounders can be found during the daytime, and the bigger ones are commonly found at night. Known for being masters at camouflaging, they can quickly adapt to their environment, including the partners on their back, which can be pretty tricky to spot, especially at night. Looking for their outline is one of the best ways to spot them; however, when fishing from shore, a basic leger rig or a two hook running leger with a light rod to gain speed usually does the job. Once the bait is set, and on the move, the flounder will chase its prey; once the rod tip is moved, moving it at a mid-pace consistently will secure a catch. If the catch is lost, it is essential to remain patient while waiting for another bite as they may be cautious and hide. Flounders can be safely released back into the water by using a disgorger. This is done by pushing the generator scorcher from the gill slowly, pulling the line, turning the hook, slowly removing it from the gill and removing the line, then ready to be released back into the water.
