Flounder
Flounder fishing around Grand Bay is a popular pursuit, capitalizing on the area's shallow, muddy bottom habitats. These flatfish are ambush predators, lying in wait for unsuspecting prey. Focus your efforts near grass edges, oyster reefs, and channel edges where flounder can easily conceal themselves. The fall is typically considered the prime time for flounder fishing as they migrate towards the Gulf of Mexico. A Carolina rig with a live mud minnow or finger mullet is a go-to presentation. A local tactic is to slowly drag the bait along the bottom, pausing occasionally to entice a strike. Consider launching from the boat ramp at Bayou Heron for easy access to productive flounder grounds. Flounder in this area can be quite large, often exceeding 5 pounds. Be patient and persistent, as flounder fishing requires a slow and methodical approach. Ensure you are familiar with current regulations regarding size and bag limits.
