Expert Guided Texas Flounder Gigging | 4-Hour Trip

Epic Flounder Gigging Adventure in Texas

Ready for a night-time fishing experience like no other? Captain Carlos is itching to take you on a flounder gigging trip that'll have you hooked from the get-go. As the stars fade and the sun peeks over the horizon, you'll be out on the water, armed with lights and gigs, ready to snag some tasty flatfish. This ain't your average fishing trip - it's a heart-pumping, skill-testing adventure that'll leave you with stories to tell for years to come.

What to Expect on the Water

Picture this: You're wading through knee-deep water, the beam of your light cutting through the darkness. Suddenly, you spot it - the unmistakable outline of a flounder, perfectly camouflaged against the sandy bottom. Your heart races as you ready your gig, aiming carefully... That's the thrill of flounder gigging, and it's what Captain Carlos lives for. This half-day trip is perfect for both newbies and seasoned giggers. You'll learn the ropes (or should we say, gigs) from a pro who knows these waters like the back of his hand. And let's not forget the jaw-dropping sunrise you'll witness - it's the kind of view that makes even the toughest anglers go a bit mushy.

Gigging Gear & Techniques

Flounder gigging is a whole different ballgame from your typical rod and reel fishing. You'll be armed with a gig - think of it as a super-specialized spear - and a powerful light. The name of the game is stealth and precision. Captain Carlos will show you how to spot these masters of disguise in just 1-2 feet of water. It's all about reading the bottom, moving slowly, and striking true when you see that telltale flounder shape. Don't worry if you've never held a gig before - by the end of the trip, you'll be wielding it like a pro. And for the tech-heads out there, the lights we use aren't your grandpa's old flashlights. We're talking high-powered LEDs that turn night into day, giving you the best shot at spotting these crafty bottom-dwellers.

Species You'll Want to Hook

Southern Flounder are the stars of this show, and boy, are they a sight to behold. These flat, oddball-looking fish are the ninjas of the sea, able to change their color and pattern to match whatever bottom they're lying on. They've got both eyes on one side of their head (weird, right?), which lets them lie flat and ambush their prey. Southern Flounder can grow up to 25 inches long, but most of what we'll be after are in the 14-20 inch range - perfect eating size.

These bad boys are most active in the fall when they're getting ready to head offshore to spawn. That's when the big ones come out to play, and when gigging really heats up. But don't worry, we can find 'em year-round. Spring and summer are great times too, as the flounder move into shallower waters to feed. The thrill of gigging a big flounder is hard to beat - they're quick, they're clever, and when you finally stick one, it's like hitting the jackpot.

Why Anglers Keep Coming Back

Look, there's fishing, and then there's flounder gigging. It's not just about catching fish - it's about the experience. You're out there in the dark, relying on your instincts and the skills Captain Carlos will teach you. It's primal, it's exciting, and it's addictive as hell. Plus, let's be real - flounder are some of the tastiest fish in the sea. That first bite of fresh-caught, pan-fried flounder? It'll ruin you for all other fish.

But it's not just about the catch. It's about being out on the water as the world wakes up. It's about the stories you'll swap with Captain Carlos and your fishing buddy. It's about that moment when you spot a flounder and everything else just fades away. That's the kind of stuff that keeps folks coming back trip after trip.
