Flounder
If you're looking for flounder in the North Lauderdale area, you'll primarily be targeting them in the canals and waterways that connect to the Intracoastal Waterway. While North Lauderdale itself is inland, these canals offer brackish water environments that flounder can thrive in, especially near docks, bridges, and any structure that provides ambush points. The best time to target flounder here is during the fall and early winter months when they migrate inshore. Focus your efforts around areas where freshwater canals meet saltwater, as these transitional zones often hold more fish. A local tip: try using live bait like mud minnows or finger mullet on a jighead, slowly bouncing it along the bottom near structure. Public access can be limited, so look for parks with canal access or consider hiring a local guide who knows the area well. Flounder in this region are generally smaller than those found further north, so adjust your tackle accordingly.
