Flounder
If you're looking for flounder in Delaware, New Castle offers some excellent opportunities, especially around the Delaware River and the associated tidal creeks and flats. The best time to target flounder here is typically from late spring through early fall, as the water warms and the fish become more active. Flounder fishing peaks in the summer months. One key to success in this area is understanding the tides. Flounder often congregate around structure and edges where they can ambush prey, so focus your efforts on areas with drop-offs or submerged debris. A good access point is the boat ramp at Battery Park, providing easy access to the river. Another tip is to use light tackle and small, brightly colored jigs tipped with bait like minnows or squid. The flounder in the Delaware River tend to be decent-sized, with some real doormats in the mix, so be prepared for a good fight!
