Isn't it the other way around. I could be wrong though. I thought they come inside in the winter.

The flounder were forced to spawn in the marsh due to the weirs being closed.

They decided to stay back there and eat all those shrimp and 'duck grass'

yo W,,,keep chasing birds, read below:



"The Southern Flounder is the most common species caught in Louisiana," starts Professor Horst, author of the RodNReel.com's Fish of the Gulf of Mexico. "The flounder weighs about three pounds on average but can grow as large as the world record of 20 pounds 9 ounces caught in Florida."
The fall migration or run of Louisiana flounders is due to the spawning period of late November to January, with the peak in offshore waters in December. The fall peak of flounders found in inshore waters is mid-October to mid-November, which is a direct correlation to the spawning period in December. Simple put, flounders move from inshore habitat to the offshore spawning ground during the fall.
"Flounder spawn in offshore waters," adds Professor Horst. "The fish stage near the Gulf of Mexico in the lower bays, lakes, and bayous when the first cool weather arrives in late September or October."
The inshore staging is a prime time to have a flounder stretch your line. Knowing a few more facts provided by LSU AgCenter professor will help you understand and catch more flounders.
"Male flounders have a life span of about three years and rarely grow larger than 14 inches," states Professor Horst. "After the first year of life, males live mostly in outside waters."
Females are the trophies of the species, growing as large as 3 feet in some areas of the country. The Louisiana Record is 13.06 lbs and was caught on a Charter Trip With Captain Jack Payne by Gary Hargis at the South Pass 12 mile Rigs on June 12, 1998. The fish was caught on the bottom in over 300 feet of
