Flounder
Targeting flounder around Stamford offers a unique saltwater fishing experience, especially in the western Long Island Sound. These fish are masters of camouflage, so focus your efforts on areas with sandy or muddy bottoms near structure like docks, piers, and rocky outcroppings. Spring and fall are prime times as flounder move in and out of the harbors and estuaries following the warmer water. A key local tip is to fish the outgoing tide, as it often concentrates flounder near channel edges. Popular access points include Cummings Park and the boat launch at West Beach. Remember that flounder are bottom feeders, so use a simple bottom rig with a small hook baited with sandworms or clams. Adjust your weight based on the current to keep your bait near the bottom where the flounder are feeding. Keep an eye on water clarity; these fish prefer slightly murky water.
