Flounder
Targeting Flounder in Bridgeport, Connecticut, means focusing on the shallow, sandy or muddy bottom areas of Long Island Sound. These flatfish are masters of camouflage, so slow, deliberate presentations are key. Spring and fall are the prime times, as water temperatures are ideal. Drifting with a baited fluke rig, using squid or sand eels, is a popular technique. Concentrate your efforts around channel edges, docks, and areas with structure like rocks or pilings. Seaside Park offers accessible shoreline fishing, while boaters can launch from various marinas along the coast. Be patient, as Flounder can be finicky eaters. A helpful tip: try tipping your hook with a small piece of Gulp! artificial bait to add scent and attract more bites. Remember to use a long-shank hook to improve your hook-up ratio.
