Flounder
Fanning Springs offers access to productive Flounder fishing grounds along Florida's Gulf Coast. While the springs themselves are freshwater, the nearby Suwannee River and coastal areas provide excellent habitat for these flatfish. The best time to target Flounder here is during the fall and early spring, as they migrate inshore and offshore. Focus your efforts around docks, bridges, and submerged structure in the Suwannee River Delta or along the shallow grass flats. A popular technique is to drag a live mud minnow or shrimp along the bottom on a Carolina rig. Another effective method is to use artificial lures like soft plastic grubs or Flounder jigs. A local tip is to fish during the outgoing tide, as Flounder often ambush prey as it is swept out of the creeks and marshes. Be patient and persistent, as Flounder can be masters of camouflage. Remember to use a landing net to avoid losing these tasty fish at the boat. Check the FWC regulations for size and bag limits.
