Flounder

While Snow Lake Shores is inland, a trip down to the Mississippi Gulf Coast offers a chance to target flounder. These flatfish are a popular target for anglers, and the coastal bays and estuaries provide ideal habitat. Look for flounder around docks, oyster reefs, and sandy bottom areas, particularly near channels and inlets. Fall is often considered the best time for flounder fishing, as they migrate towards the Gulf to spawn. Live shrimp, mud minnows, and artificial lures like soft plastics fished along the bottom are effective. A local tip: try gigging for flounder at night with a spotlight; this is a popular and productive method. Also, be patient and fish slowly, as flounder are masters of camouflage and can be difficult to spot. The flounder in Mississippi are known for their mild flavor and delicate texture, making them a delicious addition to any meal. Remember to check the regulations for size and bag limits before you go.
