Flounder
Targeting flounder around Sag Harbor offers a more subtle, yet rewarding, fishing experience. The Peconic Bay and Shelter Island Sound are prime locations, offering the shallow, muddy bottoms that flounder love. Spring and fall are the peak seasons, as flounder migrate inshore during these times. A local's secret is to fish the outgoing tide near creek mouths and channels; flounder often congregate here to ambush prey. Use light tackle and natural baits like sandworms or clams presented on a bottom rig. Remember that flounder are masters of camouflage, so a slow, deliberate presentation is key. The flounder in Sag Harbor are generally good-sized, and a cooler full of these tasty flatfish makes for a memorable trip.
