Flounder

While Kattskill Bay itself is on Lake George, you'll need to head south to the saltwater of the Long Island Sound and Atlantic Ocean to target flounder. Flounder fishing near Kattskill Bay is best in the spring and fall when water temperatures are moderate. These flatfish are masters of camouflage, so focus on areas with sandy or muddy bottoms near structure like docks, pilings, and oyster beds. A key to success is using a slow presentation with small, baited hooks. Bloodworms and sandworms are classic flounder baits. Access to productive flounder grounds is available through various marinas and boat ramps along the south shore of Long Island. Local knowledge is invaluable, so consider consulting with tackle shops in the area for the most up-to-date information on where the flounder are biting. Also, be aware of local regulations regarding size and bag limits.
