A buddy and I launched out Luhr's Landing and fished around Anderson Island from 12-4. Caught around two dozen sole and one big Starry flounder. We kept 16 of the rock sole; released the bigger clearly pregnant ones. But almost all were of respectable size.

We were drop-shotting curly tail grubs and/or bait (herring, night crawlers, squid) in 15-90 feet of water. Best luck was at 35-60 feet. To our surprise, my buddy hooked into a roughly 18-inch very healthy wild Chinook jigging a curly tail in about 15 feet of water. It was safely released. That was a nice punctuation mark on a really fun day. Even a shaker is a lot of fun on flounder gear.

Wonderful day! A little floundering was a nice way to cap off a great year.
