Flounder
Chasing flounder near Bellefonte, Delaware, is a classic summertime pursuit. The Delaware Bay offers expansive flats and channels that provide ideal habitat for these flatfish. The best time to target flounder is from late spring through early fall, with the peak season being during the warmer months. Drifting along the edges of channels with a bucktail jig tipped with a Gulp! swimming mullet is a productive method. Focus your efforts around areas with sandy or muddy bottoms. Popular access points include boat ramps along the bay, giving you access to the prime flounder grounds. Shore anglers can try their luck from piers or along the shoreline, especially during periods of high tide. Remember to use a long-shank hook to help with hooksets, as flounder are notorious for their subtle bites. The flounder population in the Delaware Bay is subject to regulations, so be sure to check the current size and bag limits before you head out.
