"Several times a year there will be opportunities in various areas to attend a Flatfish University day and not all will be the same. There will be a basic introductory course, advanced levels and specific courses for specific areas. For someone who wants to REALLY learn about flounder, this is their opportunity. I promise their flounder fishing will never be the same."
Each course will feature a section on conservation and teach anglers how to contribute flounder to Texas' hatcheries for much needed broodstock and proper technique for photo, catch and release.
"If we're going to have a future for flounder anglers need to see what an amazing species they are and be able to view them as something other than an eating fish. We have really help turn people on to catch and release of the big flounder and will now arm them with the knowledge they need to contribute directly to conservation by donating live fish to hatcheries. This is exciting stuff," Moore said.
