Flounder
Center Hill's location allows for relatively easy access to the Gulf Coast's flounder fisheries. While not as abundant as some other species, flounder can be reliably targeted in the shallow, sandy-bottomed areas around Crystal River and Homosassa. Look for them near docks, oyster bars, and creek mouths where they ambush prey. The best time to target flounder is during the fall, as they migrate inshore in preparation for spawning. A great access point is the Chassahowitzka River, where you can launch a kayak or small boat. A local's trick is to use a Carolina rig with a live mud minnow or shrimp, slowly dragging it along the bottom. Flounder are masters of camouflage, so a slow, deliberate presentation is key. The flounder in this region are typically southern flounder, known for their excellent table fare. Be patient, and you'll be rewarded with a delicious meal.
