Seasonal Activity Chart
Flounder
Delaware Bay flounder fishing near Port Penn can be quite productive, especially if you know where to look. This area provides a mix of shallow flats and deeper channels that flounder favor. The season generally peaks from late spring to early fall, coinciding with warmer water temperatures. Drifting with live minnows or Gulp! artificials is a popular and effective technique. Focus on areas with sandy or muddy bottoms, especially near structure like old pilings or submerged debris. A crucial local tip is to pay close attention to tidal currents; flounder often orient themselves to face into the current to ambush prey. A slow, steady drift that presents your bait naturally is key. Public boat ramps near Port Penn offer convenient access to the bay, but be mindful of shallow areas and changing tides. The flounder population in this region can be variable, so checking local fishing reports is always a good idea before heading out.
