North Carolina has a southern flounder season of two weeks. 2025 had no season at all. It's pretty frustrating especially since it's been at least 7 years since seemingly disorganized closures begin and also both fluke (summer) and gulf flounder. With a one fish bag limit I stuck with artificial lures.
