Thrilling Flounder Forays Beneath the St. Augustine Starlight
What a night it was out on the water with Scott and his crew for our Flounder Gigging Trips In St Augustine over in Vilano. May is a prime time for this kind of inshore action, as the warmer weather and calmer seas make it perfect for spotting and gigging those tasty flatfish under the stars.
We met up at the Vilano Boat Ramp just as the sun was starting to dip below the horizon, got our gear loaded, and headed out. The water was in great shape, and the clear conditions stuck around all night, giving us ideal visibility to scan the shallows. As we drifted and stalked the flats, we started spotting some nice baitfish , leading us directly to the flatfish we were targeting.
But the real excitement came when we started zeroing in on the flounder. These fish really came alive as the last of the daylight faded, and we had a blast trying to sneak up on them and make the perfect stab with the gig. The crew was focused and dialed in, and we ended up putting some real nice flatties in the boat. Seeing those unique fish up close, with their camouflaged bodies and strange eyes, is always such a cool experience.
