Flounder

Targeting flounder in Sodus Point presents a unique challenge, as these are primarily saltwater fish, and Lake Ontario is freshwater. You won't find flounder here. If you were looking for them in saltwater, you'd look to bays and estuaries. The best time is typically spring and fall when water temperatures are moderate. Look for muddy or sandy bottoms where flounder can camouflage themselves. Drifting with small jigs or bait rigs tipped with sandworms or clams is a productive method. A good strategy is to target areas near channels or inlets where flounder can move in and out with the tide. Be patient, as flounder bites can be subtle. A local tip is to use a sensitive rod to detect the slightest nibble. Remember to check local regulations regarding size and bag limits before you head out.
