We headed out flounder fishing in the back bay about 2:00 yesterday we fished until 4:30. The flounder fishing was very slow. I managed only one keeper flounder. The flounder are simple not here in any numbers {yet}?. There is still a remote chance that more keepers will move in. I have 16 keeper flounder for the 2010 flounder season to date, the lowest number of keepers to date in 10 years. Wally B., Dr. Gary, Terry H., are a few Cape May County flounder fishermen that average over a hundred keeper flounder a year. They are all off to a slow start this year,as far as keeper flounder are concerned. This upcoming week has been traditionaly {for me} the best week for flounder fishing in the back bay waters. The water temperature yesterday was 71 degrees at high tide. Water clarity was poor.
Could the keeper fluke have been in in numbers before the official season started? Maybe we should tell them to stick around.

Maybe, but the flounder have traditionally been here in good numbers during June.
