Flounder

For flounder fishing near Portal, Georgia, you'll need to venture towards the coast. The inshore waters surrounding Savannah, such as Wassaw Sound and Ossabaw Sound, offer excellent opportunities to target these flatfish. Fall is a particularly productive time, as flounder migrate out of the estuaries. Look for them near docks, bridges, and other structures that provide ambush points. A Carolina rig with live mud minnows or shrimp is a highly effective tactic. A local tip is to fish the edges of the channels during outgoing tides, as flounder will often lie in wait for baitfish being swept out with the current. Patience is key when flounder fishing; give them time to take the bait before setting the hook.
