yup. Only county in the state that you have to have 3 or fewer prongs. Makes no sense to me at all... I have my Volusia county gig's, and my rest of the state gig's that have 4 prongs. I use them in St. Augustine, P.C. and Sebastian when I get there.

 

With Flounder gigging almost here, I wanted members to know to only use three prongs...

The amount of prongs does not matter me, I usually size up the flounder before I gig it... i then gig the flounder in the gills,

Meaning, I have plenty of time to slow or stop the boat, look at the flounder determine its size, then gig it or help a passenger gig it...

as far as the amount of prongs go, three prongs do the job good enough, and I do not think having more prongs would increase the amount of flounder I see or have an effect on the amount I gig...

Three prong in Volusia... you can use more prongs in other county's...
I myself like three and small prongs...

one may use what they are comfortable with..
