Flounder
Groveland's location in central Florida offers access to flounder fishing via a relatively short drive to the coast. Focus your efforts on the saltwater flats and backwaters near the St. Johns River's mouth or around the inlets near Jacksonville or St. Augustine. Fall is prime time, as flounder migrate offshore to spawn, making them more concentrated in these areas. Drifting live shrimp or mud minnows along the bottom is a classic and effective technique. A key tip is to target areas with structure, such as docks, oyster bars, or submerged logs, as flounder often ambush prey from these locations. Be aware of the strong tidal currents in these areas, which can influence flounder behavior and location. Consider using a Carolina rig to keep your bait near the bottom in these currents. Access to these fishing spots is generally good, with numerous public boat ramps and wade-fishing opportunities.
