Flounder
Though Northport isn't directly on the coast, you can still target Flounder with a bit of a drive towards the brackish waters of the Mobile-Tensaw Delta. The key is to focus on the transition zones where freshwater from the Black Warrior River meets the saltwater influence of Mobile Bay. While the numbers won't be as high as closer to the Gulf, patient anglers can be rewarded. Fall is prime time, as flounder migrate towards the Gulf for spawning. Look for them around docks, pilings, and any structure that provides ambush points. A local tactic involves using live shrimp or mud minnows on a Carolina rig, slowly dragging it along the bottom. Be aware of strong currents in the delta, and use enough weight to keep your bait in the strike zone. Consider launching from a ramp closer to Mobile Bay to maximize your time in productive flounder habitat.
