Seasonal Activity Chart
Flounder
Flounder fishing near Townsend, Delaware, centers around the Delaware Bay and its tidal creeks. These flatfish are a popular target, offering both a challenge and a tasty reward. The best time to target them is during the warmer months, from late spring through early fall, when the water temperatures rise. Drifting with a bottom rig baited with minnows, squid, or even artificial Gulp! baits is a classic technique. Focus on areas with sandy or muddy bottoms, especially near channel edges and drop-offs. A local tip: many anglers have success drifting the edges of the shipping channel in the Delaware Bay. The Port Mahon Road area offers good access to the bay, with a boat ramp available. Be mindful of the tides, as flounder fishing is often best during periods of moving water.
