Flounder
Although Wausau, Florida, is not directly on the coast, it serves as a good base for accessing excellent flounder fishing in the nearby bays and estuaries of the Florida Panhandle. St. Andrews Bay near Panama City and the Apalachicola Bay system are within driving distance and offer prime flounder habitat. Focus on the sandy or muddy bottom areas near docks, bridges, and channel edges. The fall months (October and November) are particularly productive as flounder migrate offshore to spawn. Drifting a live shrimp or mud minnow along the bottom is a classic technique. A local tip: try using a Carolina rig to keep your bait near the bottom while allowing it to move freely. Pay attention to the tide; flounder often feed actively during moving tides. Flounder in this region are known for their good size and delicious flavor, making for a rewarding fishing experience.
