Flounder
While Dunnellon is known for its freshwater springs, don't overlook the opportunity to target flounder in the nearby saltwater estuaries and coastal areas. The Withlacoochee River's influence extends to brackish waters that hold flounder, particularly near its mouth and adjacent grass flats. Targeting these flatfish is best in the fall and spring as they migrate inshore. Focus your efforts around structure like docks, oyster beds, and submerged vegetation. A local tip: many anglers wade fish these areas, but be cautious of soft bottoms and strong currents. Drifting live shrimp or small baitfish along the bottom is a productive method. Flounder in this region tend to be on the smaller side, but the abundance of fish makes for an exciting day on the water.
