January and February are traditionally a slow time of year for flounder fishing and gigging. The best flounder gigging of the year usually runs from mid-February to October, when the spawning fish return to feed in the shallow back bays and lakes. However, during a warm spell with light winds, the winter months can also be very productive for the remaining flounder that stay in the bay all winter.

I had the Craig B. group of 4 onboard tonight. Conditions were great, with dead calm winds, high tides, and dense fog. Usually this time of year is slow for gigging, but things can get good under the right combination of conditions (like tonight). Water clarity was poor in most areas, but the fish holding shallow over hard sand bottom were easy targets. We ended with 19 flounder plus 4 sheepshead by 10:30pm, in socked-in dense fog. The fish tonight were good size and fat for this time of year, ranging from 14-19".
