Flounder
Looking to tangle with some flounder in the Florida panhandle? Shalimar, nestled on the Choctawhatchee Bay, is a fantastic starting point. The bay's relatively shallow, grassy flats and numerous docks create ideal ambush points for these flatfish. Fall is prime time, as flounder migrate out of the bay towards the Gulf of Mexico. Focus on areas near the Destin bridge and the mouths of bayous where flounder stage before their offshore journey. Live shrimp or mud minnows on a Carolina rig are classic choices. A local tip: try fishing around the lighted docks at night, as flounder are attracted to the baitfish congregating there. Be aware of strong currents, especially near the bridge, and adjust your weight accordingly to keep your bait in the strike zone. The flounder in Choctawhatchee Bay tend to be good-sized, offering a rewarding fishing experience.
