Flounder
Targeting flounder around Mystic, CT, offers a more subtle but rewarding fishing experience. These bottom-dwellers are most active in the spring and early summer as water temperatures rise. Focus your efforts in the shallow, muddy or sandy bottom areas of the Mystic River, Fishers Island Sound, and nearby coves. Flounder are ambush predators, so a slow, deliberate presentation is key. Try drifting a small hook baited with sandworms or clams just above the bottom. A long, sensitive rod is ideal for detecting their subtle bites. Pay attention to tidal currents; flounder often congregate on the down-current side of structures or drop-offs. Shore access is limited, but several marinas and boat launch facilities provide access to the water. Remember to check local regulations regarding size and bag limits, as flounder populations can fluctuate.
