Seasonal Activity Chart
Flounder
If flat is what you're after, Bethany Beach offers some great flounder fishing opportunities. The key is understanding the seasonal movements of their forage. As the waters warm in the spring, flounder move into the Assawoman Bay and Little Assawoman Bay, following schools of peanut bunker and other small baitfish. Focus your efforts around structure like docks, bridges, and channel edges where flounder ambush their prey. Drifting live minnows or small Gulp! Swimming Mullet on a jig head is a productive method. Water clarity is crucial; look for areas with less turbidity, especially after heavy rains. A local tip: the Route 1 bridge pilings are a well-known spot, but can get crowded. Try exploring the back bays further north for less pressured fish. Remember to adjust your presentation depth based on the water temperature and current; flounder often hug the bottom.
