Flounder
If you're looking for a tasty challenge, try your luck fishing for Flounder around Pinellas Park. These flatfish are masters of camouflage, lying in wait on the bottom to ambush unsuspecting prey. Focus your efforts on sandy or muddy bottoms near docks, bridges, and channel edges in Tampa Bay and its surrounding waters. Fall and winter are generally considered the best times for flounder fishing, as they migrate into the bay to spawn. A local favorite technique is to slowly drag a live shrimp or mud minnow along the bottom on a Carolina rig. Pay close attention to your line, as flounder often have a subtle bite. A key tip is to target areas with slight current, as this helps to distribute scent and attract flounder. Public access is available at several boat ramps around Pinellas Park, providing easy access to prime flounder fishing grounds. Don't forget your cast net to catch your own bait!
