Flounder
Targeting flounder around Groton, Connecticut, requires a delicate touch and an understanding of their habits. The waters surrounding Groton, including the mouths of the Mystic and Thames Rivers, offer productive flounder fishing. Spring and early summer are prime times as the water warms and flounder move into shallower areas to feed. Focus on muddy or sandy bottoms near structure like docks, pilings, and eelgrass beds. A simple rig consisting of a small hook baited with sandworms or clams fished on the bottom is highly effective. A slow retrieve or simply letting the bait sit is often the best approach. Local tip: access to prime flounder grounds is available from the shore at Poquonnock Bridge State Park, or via boat from the various marinas in Noank. Flounder fishing here requires patience and a keen eye for subtle bites. Remember to use light tackle for maximum sensitivity.
