Flounder
Umatilla's proximity to Florida's east coast puts you within reach of some fantastic flounder fishing. Focus your efforts in the shallow, sandy bottom areas of the Indian River Lagoon system. These fish are masters of camouflage, so target areas with subtle changes in bottom structure or near docks and seawalls. Flounder fishing is typically best during the fall and winter months as they migrate inshore. A helpful tip is to slowly drag a jig head tipped with a Gulp! shrimp along the bottom. Another good option is a Carolina rig with a live mud minnow or finger mullet. Public boat ramps and wade-fishing access points are readily available along the lagoon. The flounder in this area are known to be relatively good size, especially during the fall migration. Be patient and persistent, and you'll be rewarded with a tasty meal.
