Flounder
While High Springs itself is known for its freshwater springs, accessing flounder requires a short trip to the Gulf Coast. Focus your efforts in the tidal creeks and grass flats around Steinhatchee or Suwannee, about an hour's drive away. Flounder fishing is best in the fall as they migrate inshore to spawn and again in the spring as they move back out. Look for sandy or muddy bottoms near structure like docks, oyster bars, or submerged vegetation. A Carolina rig with a live mud minnow or a jig head with a soft plastic grub bounced along the bottom are effective presentations. Be mindful of the tides; flounder often ambush prey during periods of moving water. A local tip: The Steinhatchee boat ramp can get crowded, especially on weekends, so arrive early. Also, pay close attention to local regulations regarding size and bag limits, which can change frequently.
