Seasonal Activity Chart
Flounder
While Moore Haven is inland, its proximity to the Gulf Coast makes it a viable, if slightly longer-drive, base for flounder fishing. Focus your efforts in the fall and early winter when flounder migrate towards the Gulf for spawning. Target areas with structure like docks, oyster bars, and grass flats in nearby saltwater estuaries. Live bait like mud minnows or finger mullet rigged on a jig head are highly effective. A local tip: consider launching from Ortona Lock & Dam and heading towards the Caloosahatchee River, eventually working your way towards the coast. Flounder in this region are known for their ambush feeding habits, so slow retrieves and patience are key. Be prepared for a longer boat ride to reach prime flounder grounds, but the potential reward of hooking into a doormat flounder makes it worthwhile.
