Flounder

If you're targeting flounder around Tybee Island, the inshore waters and tidal creeks are prime locations. These fish are ambush predators, so focus your efforts around structure like docks, oyster beds, and submerged timber. The best time to target flounder here is during the spring and fall as they migrate in and out of the area. Look for clear water, as flounder rely on sight to feed. A local tip: Many anglers have success drifting live shrimp or mud minnows on a Carolina rig. Pay close attention to the current; flounder will often sit on the down-current side of structure, waiting for bait to wash by. Remember to adjust your presentation based on the water temperature, as cooler water may require a slower retrieve. The flounder around Tybee tend to be good-sized, so be prepared for a decent fight.
