Seasonal Activity Chart
Flounder
If you're looking to target flounder in Delaware, Viola offers a strategic location to access Delaware Bay's productive flats. The late summer and early fall months, specifically August through October, are prime time. During this period, the flounder are actively feeding before heading offshore for the winter. Focus your efforts around tidal creeks and channels leading into the bay. Drifting with live minnows or squid strips is a proven tactic. For shore access, try the points around Bowers Beach, a short drive from Viola. Be mindful of the strong currents in the bay, and check tide charts before heading out. Flounder here can be surprisingly large, with some pushing over 5 pounds. The key is patience and covering ground to find where the fish are holding.
