Flounder
Flounder fishing near Golf, Florida, primarily involves venturing to the nearby estuarine environments like the Loxahatchee River and the Indian River Lagoon. These flatfish are masters of camouflage, lying in wait on the bottom for unsuspecting prey. Focus your efforts on sandy or muddy bottoms near docks, bridges, and channel edges. The fall and winter months are particularly productive as flounder migrate inshore. Drifting live shrimp or mud minnows along the bottom is a classic and effective technique. A Carolina rig is a good choice for presenting your bait. A local tip: use a slow, deliberate retrieve and be patient; flounder often have a subtle bite. Also, try fishing around the bridges that cross the Loxahatchee River; the pilings often attract flounder. Remember to use a landing net to avoid losing these slippery fish at the boat.
