Flounder Rig
Flounder are an extremely popular game fish. Countless numbers of anglers in boats and on surf try there hand at flounder fishing each year. The inlets, surf, and piers of North Carolina all hold good numbers of flounder. Doormats are the perfect ambush feeders. They are designed with the best camouflage to blend in with the ocean bottom. Big flatties also adapted further by having both eyes on one side of its body. This allows them to find a suitable spot and lay in wait on the bottom for a meal to swim by. A suitable spot would be an area near current that would provide a steady supply of food. This could be a slough off of the beach or an eddy behind a pier piling. The flounder will nestle itself into the sand and out of the current while watching for a small finger mullet or menhaden to be swept by in the current.
