Flounder

Targeting flounder in Brooklyn offers a classic urban fishing experience. Jamaica Bay is your primary destination, offering relatively shallow, protected waters ideal for these bottom-dwelling fish. Spring and fall are the prime times, when water temperatures are moderate. Flounder tend to congregate in areas with muddy or sandy bottoms, so focus your efforts there. A simple bottom rig baited with sandworms or clams is a go-to method. A local tactic involves chumming with a mix of crushed clams and bread to attract flounder to your area. You can access Jamaica Bay from numerous piers and shorelines, or launch a small boat from one of the local marinas. Remember, flounder fishing can be tidal-dependent, with the best bite often occurring during slower tides. Also, check local regulations regarding size and bag limits, as they can change frequently.
