Flounder
Flounder fishing near Ardentown, Delaware, can be quite rewarding, particularly in the Delaware Bay and its surrounding tidal creeks. The key to success is understanding their habitat and feeding habits. These flatfish prefer sandy or muddy bottoms, often near structure or areas with current. The prime time to target flounder is from late spring through early fall, as water temperatures rise. Drifting with a bottom rig baited with squid, minnows, or strips of fish is a popular and effective technique. Consider using a fish finder to locate areas with promising bottom structure. A local tip: the edges of the shipping channels in the Delaware Bay can be particularly productive. Public boat ramps in nearby towns like New Castle provide good access. Be mindful of the strong currents and boat traffic in the bay. The flounder population in this area can fluctuate, so checking recent fishing reports is always a good idea.
