Flounder Ray identification

Fish identification of Flounder flat fish caught around the UK coast line

Flounder

Flounder is a type of flatfish.

 

Flounder

Flounders lie on their sides on the ocean floor; in adulthood, both eyes are situated on the right or left (dependent upon species), upward-facing side of its body. Flounder sizes typically vary from five to fifteen inches, though they sometimes grow as long as three feet in length. Their breadth is about one-half of their length. The flounder feeding ground is the soft mud or sand and they just love estuaries.

Small hooks are the name of the game when fishing for flounders with beads above the hook. Flounders will be taken on maddies / ragworm / lugworm and thin strips of squid.
