Flounder
Chasing Flounder near Hartly, Delaware, involves heading to the saltwater estuaries and bays connected to the Delaware Bay. While Hartly itself is inland, it's a short drive to numerous access points. Flounder fishing is best during the warmer months, from late spring through early fall (May-October). These flatfish are ambush predators, so focus on sandy or muddy bottoms near structure like docks, pilings, and channel edges. Drifting with a baited bucktail jig or a Flounder rig tipped with squid or minnows is a common and effective technique. A helpful local tip is to target areas with slightly murky water, as Flounder often prefer these conditions. Popular access points include boat ramps near Bowers Beach and Slaughter Beach. Be aware of the tides, as Flounder often move with the current to feed. Remember to check the Delaware fishing regulations for size and creel limits before heading out. The Flounder in the Delaware Bay are known for their relatively good size, making for a rewarding fishing experience.
