Flounder
For Flounder enthusiasts visiting Gretna, the shallow, muddy-bottomed bays and bayous surrounding the area are prime hunting grounds. Flounder are ambush predators, so concentrate your efforts around structure like docks, oyster reefs, and grass beds. The best time to target them is during the fall flounder run as they migrate towards the Gulf. A slow presentation is key. Try dragging a jig head with a soft plastic along the bottom or using live bait like mud minnows or shrimp. Public access is available at several boat launches along the Intracoastal Waterway, offering easy access to productive flounder flats. Be aware of the strong tidal currents in this area, as they can significantly affect flounder location and feeding habits. Local anglers often use specialized flounder gigs at night, particularly during the fall migration, but daytime fishing can also be very productive if you focus on the right areas and use the right techniques.
