There were A LOT of flounder caught this year in the estuary. It was a great year to catch them. The wade fisherman, majority from TX, were ridiculous. Most waders though that because he/she caught fish in that spot yesterday, it was their spot forever. It doesn't matter if you had an anchor there and were fishing. I think the more alarming statistic is what the shrimp boats and butterfly barges were doing to flounder. On the hard fronts, some boats were pulling out 2500 pounds in a few hours! Imagine that for a month and a half. Hard to say what's gonna happen, but time will tell if limits need changing.
