Seasonal Activity Chart
Flounder
Flounder fishing in Lewes, Delaware, centers around the Delaware Bay and its intricate network of channels and flats. These flatfish are a popular target for anglers of all skill levels, and the area boasts a healthy population. The prime season runs from spring through fall, with the best action often occurring during the outgoing tide. Drifting with bucktails tipped with squid or minnows is a highly effective technique. Focus your efforts around structure like bridge pilings, submerged debris, and channel edges. Keep your bait bouncing along the bottom to attract attention. Flounder are masters of camouflage, so a slow, deliberate presentation is key. Local knowledge is invaluable; consult local tackle shops for the latest hotspots. Local tip: Anglers often launch from the Lewes Canal and target the areas near the Roosevelt Inlet or the Ferry Jetty. Be mindful of boat traffic, especially during peak season, and always check the tide charts before heading out.
