Flounder
Gulf Shores is a fantastic destination for targeting flounder, especially the Southern Flounder. These masters of camouflage are abundant in the area's shallow, sandy-bottomed bays and estuaries. Focus your efforts around Weeks Bay or the ICW, particularly near docks, piers, and channel edges. Flounder ambush their prey, so slow presentations are key. Live baitfish, like mud minnows or finger mullet, are highly effective when fished on a Carolina rig or jighead. The fall months are legendary for flounder fishing here, as they migrate offshore to spawn. A local's secret is to target areas with subtle current breaks; flounder often lie in wait just behind these breaks. Be patient and persistent, and you'll be rewarded with some tasty flatfish.
