Flounder
Head south of Alford, Florida, towards the coast, and you'll find excellent flounder fishing opportunities in the bays and estuaries. St. Andrews Bay and East Bay are prime locations. Flounder are ambush predators, so focus on areas with structure like docks, grass flats, and sandy bottoms near deeper channels. Spring and fall are generally the best times to target flounder, as they migrate inshore and offshore. Live shrimp or mud minnows fished on a Carolina rig or jighead are highly effective. A slow, deliberate presentation is key, as flounder often lie motionless on the bottom. Public boat ramps provide access to these fishing areas, but be mindful of shallow water and oyster bars. The flounder in this region are known for their excellent table fare, making for a rewarding fishing trip.
