How to catch them
Get a pack of chartreuse and use those in dirty water. Buy a pack of the pearl white color for clearer water. Buy several flounder rigs, which consist of a swivel and 2-ounce sinker with a bright float above the hook connection, to keep the bait off the bottom. Then buy a pack of circle hooks, size 1 or 2.
