Flounder
Flounder fishing around Penney Farms means targeting the inshore waters of Northeast Florida. The best spots are along the muddy or sandy bottoms near creek mouths, docks, and oyster bars in the St. Johns River and its tributaries. The fall months, from October through December, are the peak season as flounder migrate towards the ocean to spawn. A great technique is slow-dragging a jig head tipped with a mud minnow or Gulp! artificial along the bottom. A local's secret is to fish the outgoing tide, as flounder often position themselves to ambush prey being flushed out of the creeks. Public boat ramps in Palatka and along the St. Johns provide good access. The flounder in this region are primarily Southern Flounder, and patience is key – they are masters of camouflage and subtle strikes.
