Flounder
Bayou La Batre is a prime location for targeting flounder in Alabama's coastal waters. The fall months, particularly October and November, are renowned as the peak season when flounder migrate towards the Gulf. Focus your efforts in the bayous, channels, and around docks and piers where flounder ambush their prey. A popular technique is 'flounder gigging' at night, but during the day, try slowly bouncing a jighead tipped with a soft plastic bait along the bottom. Mud minnows or shrimp are also effective live bait options. Be aware of local regulations regarding size and bag limits. A key to success in Bayou La Batre is understanding the tide. Flounder often congregate near areas with strong tidal flow, waiting to ambush baitfish. Public boat ramps provide access to these inshore fishing spots, but wading can also be productive in some areas. The flounder in this area are generally a good size, offering both a challenging fight and a tasty meal.
