Flounder
Want to do some Flounder gigging or angling around Slidell, LA? The fall months are ideal as these flatfish migrate towards the Gulf of Mexico to spawn. Focus your efforts in the shallow, muddy-bottomed areas of Lake Pontchartrain, Lake Borgne, and the bayous feeding into them. Look for areas with good tidal flow, as this brings in baitfish that flounder ambush. Live shrimp or mud minnows fished on a Carolina rig are highly effective. A slow, deliberate retrieve is key to entice a strike. Consider wading or using a kayak in the shallower areas for better access. The canals around Irish Bayou are known flounder hotspots. Be mindful of the tides, as flounder tend to be more active during periods of moving water. A local trick is to add a small piece of Fishbites to your hook alongside your live bait for added scent attraction.
