Flounder
Dauphin Island is a prime location to target Flounder, particularly the Southern Flounder, as they migrate through the area. The best fishing occurs during the spring and fall as they move in and out of Mobile Bay. Focus your efforts around the many docks, piers, and bridges that line the island's waterways, as well as along the edges of grass flats. A local's tip is to target areas with a sandy bottom near structure. Live bait, such as mud minnows or finger mullet, is highly effective when fished on a Carolina rig or jig head. Drifting these baits slowly along the bottom is a proven technique. Flounder in this region are known for their camouflage abilities, so be patient and observant. Public access is good, with plenty of wade-fishing opportunities and boat ramps available. Be sure to consult the Alabama Department of Conservation and Natural Resources for current size and bag limits before heading out.
