Flounder
Don't be fooled! While Port Carbon, Pennsylvania, isn't directly on the coast, considering the Schuylkill River's tidal influence, targeting Flounder requires a bit of creative thinking. Instead of focusing on open ocean flounder fishing, consider targeting brackish water areas further downstream where the salinity is higher. These areas, while not teeming with flounder, can hold some surprises, especially during periods of higher salinity intrusion. The key is to focus on areas with muddy or sandy bottoms near structure like bridge pilings or submerged vegetation. Shrimp or small minnows fished on a jig head are your best bet. Remember to check local regulations regarding saltwater fishing licenses and size/creel limits, even in these brackish environments. A local tip: pay close attention to tidal charts, as flounder tend to be more active during incoming tides. This is an unusual fishery, so be prepared to explore and experiment.
