Went to the beach this weekend for a little Flounder fishing.  Had a pretty good time, with all fish being caught on either live Mud Minnows behind Carolina rigs or a small Berkley paddle-tail swimbait on a jighead.

A lil' 8 or 10" Flounder caught on the Berkley paddle-tail swimbait mentioned above

This one is 17" also caught on the Berkley paddle-tail swimbait

Nice Flounder. What beach do you fish at?

Im just curious, but what is considered a "keeper" flounder?  How big do they get off the beaches?

The mimimum size is 14" in NC. The state record is over 20 lbs, but a 5 pounder is a nice fish and anything over 10 is a hawg.

Nice dude!

I'm actually sitting in a hotel room in Wilmington as I type this.

     Thanks fella's.

     I fish at Topsail Beach 99.9% of the time.

     A keeper flounder for NC is 14" for the beach and 15" or 15.5" (I can't remember which one) for the ICW

Neat fish, thats for sure.  Good job, and good luck!

I love topsail. I try to get their like once or twice a year. Such a great place

Yeah it's a nice little fishing village.  Thankfully it hasn't turned into a little island that has a million people on year round like Mrytle beach or some place similar.

We stay on 4th St. at my grandmas house.  Do you stay at a hotel or at a house?

man seein those flounder brings back memories of fishin the piers at the beach...good times

Nice flounder.  I caught my first back in September.  It was about the same size as the one in your first picture.  I caught it on a DOA shrimp,that was clear with a orange tail fin.

I wish the halibut out here were as easy to catch as the flounder out there. Nice fish btw
