A buddy and I caught these on Saturday. The one I'm holding is a little over 2lbs and we didn't weigh the flounder. There are some big flounder in this lake as well as some big bass. The bass was caught on a 6" Lake Fork magic shad and the flounder was caught on a green pumpkin Tiki stick. We had a good day but didn't catch many fish giving the situation.

This is my buddy with the flounder.

nice bass man

what did you catch the flounder on?

nice bass man

It's in his post....

Cool flounder. I didn't know you could catch them in the same waters as bass (or that they'd eat a tiki stick).

Not too many exotic fish here in the midwest.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

I HAVE BEEN OUTDONE!.....IN THE AREA OF CATCHING STRANGE FISH!!!!

This is indeed a dark day......

Cool man! Are those freshwater flounder?

Cool man! Are those freshwater flounder?

Never heard of such a thing!!!!  Cool!  Are they good to eat?  

I'm jealous......

This lake use to be part of the river and was dammed by the power plant. Being on the coast, the flounder used these waters and were trapped. People catch flounder in this lake on everything from a jig to a spinnerbait.

Nice post, Great pics. Sounds like alot of fun. I remember you talking about how the flounder got trapped in another thread. Do they spawn there? Or are you guys just catching whats left?

I thin they have adapted to the fresh water and are spawning because smaller fish have been caught.

I don't know but I'm going to try the next one I catch.

Thanks for teaching me something new.  I never realized there were freshwater flounder.  Pretty chunky bass you're holding there.  Stay after them!!

Thanks for the post.. and the new information i somehow have crammed into this tiny brain of mine

hey sounds like you had a great day.

on a side note, about how many fish per bait do you get out of those lake fork magic shads? (<----anyone can answer that) they dont seem durable  :-/

That has to be Sutton Lake.  How are the water levels there now?  I know it's fairly shallow to begin with, but with the drought we've been in I was wondering how the fishing is there.

Wow freshwater flounder. Guess ya do learn something new everyday :-?

I'll bet that there is still a good amount of salinity in that water. That's pretty cool that the dam made a fishery like that.
