Flounder
Apopka's location offers access to some excellent Flounder fishing along Florida's coastline. While Apopka itself is inland, a drive to the nearby coastal estuaries and bays provides opportunities to target these flatfish. Focus your attention on areas with sandy or muddy bottoms near docks, bridges, and channel edges. The best time to target Flounder is during the fall and early winter months when they migrate towards inlets and passes to spawn. A productive technique is to slowly drag a live shrimp or mud minnow along the bottom on a Carolina rig. Local anglers often use a 'Flounder Pounder,' a weighted jig head designed to stir up the bottom and attract attention. A helpful tip is to fish during periods of slack tide, as this allows your bait to stay on the bottom longer. The Flounder in this region are known for their camouflage abilities, so pay close attention to subtle taps on your line.
