Flounder
Looking to target flounder near Lake Clarke Shores? You'll want to focus your efforts in the Intracoastal Waterway and the canals that feed into it. This area is prime habitat because of the muddy bottoms and plentiful ambush points around docks and seawalls. The best time to fish for flounder here is generally during the fall and early winter as they migrate out of the canals. Try drifting live shrimp or small baitfish along the bottom, or slowly working a jig head with a soft plastic trailer. A local tip: the clearer the water, the better your chances. Lake Clarke Shores can get murky after heavy rains, so check conditions beforehand. Public access is limited, so consider launching from a nearby ramp like the one at Currie Park in West Palm Beach and heading south. Flounder in this area tend to be on the smaller side, but there are definitely some keepers to be found if you put in the time.
