Flounder
The hunt for flounder in the waters near New Haven is a rewarding pursuit, especially for those who appreciate a delicate and delicious fish. The spring and fall months, particularly April-May and September-October, are typically the most productive times to target them. Focus your efforts in the shallow, muddy or sandy bottom areas of New Haven Harbor and the surrounding bays. Drifting with a baited flounder rig is a classic and effective technique. Sandworms, clams, and mussels are all excellent bait choices. A local's secret: chumming with crushed clams or mussels can draw flounder into your fishing area. Several marinas and boat ramps provide access to the harbor, but be aware of the tidal currents and shallow water in some areas. Remember that flounder populations fluctuate, so practicing catch and release can help ensure a sustainable fishery.
