Seasonal Activity Chart
Flounder
Flounder fishing near Lee, Florida, centers around the shallow, grassy flats and sandy bottoms of the Gulf Coast. While not directly on the coast, accessing areas like Steinhatchee or Keaton Beach, a drive from Lee, opens up excellent opportunities. The fall months, particularly October and November, are prime time as flounder migrate inshore before heading offshore for spawning. Drifting live shrimp or mud minnows along the bottom is a highly effective tactic. Look for areas with slight depressions or cuts in the grass, as flounder often ambush prey from these locations. Keaton Beach offers several access points, including boat ramps and wade-fishing areas. Be mindful of the tides, as flounder fishing is often best during moving water. The flounder in this area are generally southern flounder, known for their excellent table fare. Because of the shallow water, a push pole or trolling motor can be invaluable for stealthily navigating the flats.
