Seasonal Activity Chart
Flounder
Bay Harbor Islands offers some exciting opportunities for Flounder fishing. These masters of camouflage thrive in the sandy bottom areas and around structures within Biscayne Bay's inshore waters. Look for them near docks, bridges, and channel edges. The fall months are particularly productive as flounder migrate inshore, preparing for the cooler months. A local's secret: slowly dragging a jig head tipped with live shrimp or a Gulp! artificial bait along the bottom is a highly effective technique. Public access points and boat ramps are available around the islands, giving you access to the productive flats. Be mindful of the regulations concerning size and bag limits, as they are actively enforced. Flounder in this area tend to be on the smaller side, so patience and persistence are key to landing a keeper.
