Flounder
Flounder fishing in Norwalk, Connecticut, can be a rewarding endeavor if you know where to look. These flatfish inhabit the muddy and sandy bottoms of Long Island Sound, particularly around the Norwalk Islands and in the sheltered harbors. The best time to target Flounder is during the spring and early summer when water temperatures start to rise. Look for them in areas with relatively shallow water (6-15 feet) and a soft bottom. Use a traditional Flounder rig with a small hook baited with sandworms or clams. A slow, steady retrieve is key to enticing a bite. Pay attention to the tides; Flounder often feed more actively during slack tide. A local tip: Calf Pasture Beach is a popular access point, and the waters just offshore are known to hold Flounder. Remember to use a chum pot to attract them to your fishing area.
