Flounder
Flounder fishing in Bayville, NY, provides a classic Long Island Sound experience. The area is known for both winter and summer flounder, though winter flounder are the more traditional target. Spring (April-May) and fall (September-October) are prime times, as the water temperatures are ideal. Look for them on muddy or sandy bottoms near docks, bridges, and channels. A classic flounder rig baited with sandworms or mussels is the go-to method. Consider chumming with a mix of ground clams to attract them to your area. Theodore Roosevelt Memorial Park offers excellent shore access and a nearby boat ramp for those with boats. The flounder population has seen fluctuations in recent years, so check local regulations and consider practicing catch and release to help the fishery recover. Remember to fish slow and methodically, as flounder are subtle biters.
