Hey guys, first time poster here. I have to say that I have learned a lot reading these boards and I really appreciate the knowledge. I was wondering if anyone could give me some suggestions about flounder fishing at Cape Henry. I've been fairly successful around the islands catching a fair share of keepers on strip bait and spot but the majority of fish have been undersized. Wanted to try something different this weekend. Any suggestions (rig, drift, sinker size) would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

I think a lot of people have been dealing with undersized fish but I have seen some good reports lately of people catching bigger ones around the islands and pilings along the CBBT. I haven't flounder fished this year so I really don't know.

on the incoming stay near 45' to 50'. on the fall 50' to 70'. slack troll sideways. use heavy lead (16 to 24oz) and try to stay under the boat. threeway 24" leader 20# test to lead and 36" of 40# to hook. use khale 3/0 or 4/0 for killies and squid. use khale 6/0 to 7/0 for croakers, spot or blues. cape henry is good during the summer but turns on in sept. and oct.
