Flounder
Targeting Flounder around Miami Shores? While not as prolific as some other species, they are definitely present in Biscayne Bay and can provide a rewarding challenge. The cooler months, from late fall through early spring, are your best bet. Flounder tend to congregate near structure and muddy bottoms, so focus your efforts around docks, bridges, and channel edges. Try drifting live shrimp or small baitfish along the bottom with a Carolina rig. A key piece of local knowledge is to fish the flats adjacent to deeper channels during outgoing tides. Flounder will often ambush prey as it's swept off the flats. Remember to use a slow, deliberate retrieve as flounder are masters of disguise and can be easily missed. Be patient and persistent, and you might just land a tasty flatfish!
