Flounder
Flounder fishing around Sea Island is best described as a patient game, but one that can yield rewarding results. The muddy or sandy bottoms of the tidal creeks, estuaries, and nearshore waters surrounding the island are prime habitat for these flatfish. Fall is an excellent time to target flounder as they migrate offshore to spawn. Drifting live bait, such as mud minnows or mullet, along the bottom is a highly effective technique. A Carolina rig with a short leader is a popular choice. Focus on areas with structure, such as docks, oyster beds, and submerged logs, as flounder often ambush prey from these locations. A local tip: the creeks around the Hampton River are known to hold good numbers of flounder. Be patient and persistent, as flounder can be masters of camouflage. A slow, deliberate presentation is key to enticing a strike.
