Flounder
Flounder fishing near Fenwick Island, Delaware, is a popular pursuit, especially in the back bays and nearshore waters. These flatfish are ambush predators, lying in wait on the bottom for unsuspecting prey. The best time to target flounder is during the warmer months, from late spring through early fall. Drifting with live or frozen bait, such as minnows or squid strips, is a highly effective technique. Focus your efforts around structure like bridge pilings, docks, and channel edges. A local hotspot is the Assawoman Bay, where flounder often congregate in the grassy areas. Be sure to use a slow, deliberate presentation and pay close attention to your line, as flounder bites can be subtle. Also, experiment with different colored beads and spinners ahead of your bait to attract attention in murky water.
