As we were chatting he said that he and his brother likes to go flounder gigging but lately someone has been going to a lot of trouble and putting CEMENT made flounder out in some of their gigging spots. He guesses it's someone that thinks gigging is unsportsmanlike. Don't know if we have any flounder giggers here but you may want to look twice before you stick one. He sounded serious. << There Is a Reason >> Last Edited By: CaptLeeNoga 07/26/10 10:09 AM. Edited 1 time.

Although it might dull the tips of my gig, it wouldn't do that much damage. It doesn't take that much force to drive a well sharpened spear through a fish with soft skin.

Not saying I couldnt be fooled, but it would have to be a pretty good fake. If I see something football shaped, and am not sure, I don't stab nearly as hard, just in case. You can always push harder if you feel the flesh. Seems like alot of work, and understanding a little about fluid dynamics, they will be buried pretty soon. Especially with the full moon and all the extreme tidal flow. I definately appreciate the heads up though.

Posts: 2258 07/26/10 05:42 PM - 3 Limits 2012 - 9 Limits 2011	In my home turf (St. Augustine) I have gigged my limit on several occasions. Problem is, I never had a boat there, and was dependant on other friends. Here I have only been out once so far, and gigged 2 nice ones in about 3 hours(on my test trip). Either I ran my lights too deep, or my boat too shallow, as I broke a piece of my PVC, and need to shorten the lights before I get out again. I have a few areas I want to try that I think should hold em'.

Not sure the best way to answer that, In order to gig them while wading, you will need a light source to illuminate the water. I would go to a nice sandy or muddy bottom creek or intercoastal, and give it a try. What part of the state are you in?
