Flounder
Looking to target flounder in the Florida panhandle? Niceville offers excellent access to Choctawhatchee Bay, a prime location for these flatfish. The bay's shallow, grassy flats and sandy bottom are ideal feeding grounds. Fall is arguably the best time to fish for flounder here as they migrate out of the bay and into the Gulf. However, spring can also be productive as they return. Focus your efforts around the mouths of creeks and bayous that feed into the bay, especially during falling tides. A local tip: many anglers have success drifting live shrimp or mud minnows on a Carolina rig near the Mid-Bay Bridge pilings or the deeper channels. Flounder in this area are known for being aggressive feeders, so don't be afraid to use slightly heavier tackle. Be mindful of the regulations regarding size and bag limits, as they can change frequently.
