Whether you're a seasoned gigger or trying it for the first time, Captain Carlos has got the know-how to make sure you have a blast.

What's the Deal with Gigging?

Alright, folks, let's break down this gigging business. We're talking about a time-honored Texas tradition that's as much about the hunt as it is about the catch. You'll be wading through shallow waters, usually just knee-deep, with a bright light in one hand and a multi-pronged gig in the other. The light helps you spot those camouflaged flounder hiding in the sand. Once you spot one, it's all about that quick, precise stab with the gig. It's like playing a real-life version of whack-a-mole, but way cooler and with the bonus of a delicious dinner at the end!

Gig 'Em: Tools of the Trade

Listen up, because the gear can make or break your gigging game. Captain Carlos sets you up with top-notch equipment to give you the best shot at nabbing those flatties. You'll be wielding a long-handled gig – think of it as a super-sized fork with some serious attitude. The real game-changer is the light. We're not talking about your grandpa's old flashlight here. These are high-powered LED lights that cut through the water like a hot knife through butter, making those flounder light up like they're on stage. And don't forget your waders – keeping dry is the name of the game when you're stalking fish in the shallows.

Why Anglers Can't Get Enough

Let me tell you, once you've been flounder gigging, regular fishing just doesn't cut it anymore. There's something about the stealth, the skill, and the satisfaction of sticking a big ol' flounder that gets in your blood. It's not just about the catch – it's about being out there when the world's still quiet, seeing the sunrise paint the sky, and feeling like you're part of something ancient and awesome. Plus, let's be real – the bragging rights of coming home with a stringer full of flounder are pretty sweet. Captain Carlos has seen grown men giggle like kids when they nail their first flounder, and trust me, you'll be grinning from ear to ear too.

The Flounder Low-Down

Alright, let's talk about our target – the Southern Flounder. These flat-bodied ninjas of the sea are masters of disguise, blending in with the sandy bottom like they've got an invisibility cloak. But here's the kicker – they've got both eyes on one side of their head! Imagine going through life looking like you're permanently winking at the world. These tasty devils can grow up to 25 inches long and weigh up to 5 pounds. That's a lot of fish tacos, folks! The best time to go after flounder is during their fall run, usually from October to December. That's when they're moving to deeper waters to spawn, and they're extra aggressive – perfect for gigging. But don't worry, Captain Carlos knows the hot spots year-round, so you've always got a shot at sticking a big one.
