Flounder
Chasing Flounder around New Orleans offers exciting opportunities in both the saltwater and brackish environments. Focus on the transition zones where saltwater meets freshwater, such as the mouths of bayous emptying into Lake Borgne or Lake Pontchartrain. Fall is typically the best time, as Flounder migrate towards the Gulf of Mexico to spawn. Look for them near points, cuts, and channel edges. Live shrimp or mud minnows fished on a Carolina rig are highly effective. Pay close attention to water clarity; Flounder prefer clearer water. A practical tip: try drifting along the bottom with your bait, covering more ground. Remember to use a slow, deliberate retrieve to entice strikes from these ambush predators. Also, be aware of the regulations regarding size and bag limits, as these can fluctuate depending on the season and location.
