                  Mako Pro Skift • 19' Mako

                  Take advantage of a rare seasonal opportunity to pursue North Carolina flounder during the brief September harvest window. After several years when keeping these fish wasn’t permitted, the reopening creates a special chance for anglers to target impressive, flat-bodied flounder often nicknamed “doormats” for their size. Flounder gigging and dock-light fishing offer a different way to approach the fishery, focusing on spotting fish in shallow water rather than relying solely on traditional rod-and-reel techniques. The limited season makes timing especially important, giving this trip a sense of occasion for anglers eager to experience a distinctive coastal tradition. Whether you’re familiar with flounder fishing or curious to try something different, the opportunity to pursue these prized fish during the short open season makes the outing stand apart. Harvest remains subject to current North Carolina regulations and applicable limits.
