Flounder
Chasing Flounder around Mobile Bay offers a rewarding inshore fishing experience. These flatfish are ambush predators, so focus on areas with sandy or muddy bottoms near structure. The edges of grass flats, docks, and channel drop-offs are prime locations. Fall is arguably the best time to target Flounder here, as they migrate towards the Gulf of Mexico for spawning. Live bait, like mud minnows or finger mullet, rigged on a Carolina rig is a reliable approach. A local's secret: try drifting along the Mobile Ship Channel, paying close attention to your depth finder for subtle changes in bottom contour. These slight depressions often hold Flounder. Remember to use a slow, deliberate retrieve to entice a strike. Also, be aware of the strong currents in Mobile Bay; use enough weight to keep your bait on the bottom.
