| FLOUNDER GIGGING |
| Combining hunting and fishing -- it's the best of both worlds! |
When you book a guided flounder gigging trip with Capt Josh,
you will board a fully outfitted 17' flat-bottomed flounder gigging
boat which makes your charter dry and comfortable. Equipped
with powerfully bright lights, the bay floor is illuminated, allowing
you to see all of its marine life, including flounder. From the
deck of the boat, you stab the flounder with a gig and lift the flat
fish into the boat. At the conclusion of your trip, all fish will be
cleaned and bagged for you.

Flounder is the most commonly seen
flatfish in the Gulf of Mexico. Although
they are born looking just like any other
fish, flounder undergo a metamorphosis
where its right eye moves to the top of
its head and gradually the fish grows
completely flat, facing leftward with both
eyes on top of its head. This distinct
shape is well suited to the flounder,
which will bury its flattened body in a
sandy or muddy bay bottom and even
can change its color to blend in with the
floor. From its hiding spot, this ambush
predator can feed upon unsuspecting
fish, shrimp and crustaceans that swim
in the bay. Flounder feed at night so
this is when we go out to gig them.
