Flounder
Bridgeville, Delaware, while not directly on the coast, provides a strategic inland location for accessing flounder fishing grounds. You'll need to head towards the Delaware Bay or the coastal bays further south. The best time to target flounder here is during the warmer months, from late spring through early fall, as they migrate into these shallower waters to feed. Drifting with baited rigs or working bucktails and Gulp! artificials along the bottom near structures such as bridges, docks, and channel edges is a productive technique. A local's secret: flounder often congregate in areas with a muddy or sandy bottom, so look for those conditions on your depth finder. Public boat ramps along the Nanticoke River provide access to the bay. Remember to check local regulations for size and creel limits, as flounder regulations can be variable.
