Flounder
Highland Beach offers some excellent opportunities to target flounder, particularly in the areas where the Intracoastal Waterway meets the ocean. Focus your efforts on sandy or muddy bottoms near structure like docks, seawalls, and bridge pilings. These flatfish are ambush predators, lying in wait for unsuspecting prey. The best time to target flounder in Highland Beach is during the fall and spring as they migrate in and out of the inlets. Live bait like mud minnows or finger mullet rigged on a Carolina rig or a jig head are highly effective. Slowly dragging your bait along the bottom is the key to success. A good access point is Spanish River Park, where you can fish from the shore or launch a small boat or kayak. Be aware of the boat traffic, especially on weekends. The flounder in this area tend to be a good size, with some reaching several pounds. Remember to check the current size and bag limits before fishing.
