We fluked aboard TR all day Saturday, nothing but shorts but at least some sea bass hit the filet table. A 25" 10lber? That's a fatty!!

According to Wikipedia, yes...

Although there is also the "Southern Flounder" (no eye spots)

Up here Summer flounder are called fluke. Winter flounder are called just flounder. You can tell them apart by the direction of their eyes. Fluke are left eyed and Flounder are right eyed. Another big difference is flounder don't have teeth. Fluke most definately do.

Regulations are different for each species. Here is Rhode Island, you cannot keep winter flounder caught anywhere in Narragansett Bay.
