Flounder
For flounder enthusiasts, Smyrna, Delaware, provides access to the productive waters of the Delaware Bay, offering a chance to reel in some flatfish. The best time to target flounder here is during the warmer months, typically from late spring through early fall. Focus your efforts around areas with structure, such as artificial reefs, submerged pilings, or channel edges. These spots provide ambush points for flounder waiting to prey on smaller fish and crustaceans. The area near the mouth of the Smyrna River can be particularly productive. A local tip is to use a flounder rig baited with squid strips or live minnows. Drifting or slow-trolling is a common technique, allowing you to cover more ground. Public boat ramps in Smyrna provide access to the bay. The flounder in the Delaware Bay can be quite large, so be prepared for a good fight, especially in areas with strong currents.
