Flounder
Flounder fishing near West Point, PA, means venturing into the brackish waters of the Delaware River and its associated tidal creeks. While not as abundant as in coastal areas, flounder can be found, especially in the warmer months from late spring to early fall. Look for them in muddy or sandy bottom areas near structure, such as docks, pilings, or submerged debris. These flatfish are ambush predators, so a slow presentation is key. Use natural baits like sandworms, squid strips, or small minnows rigged on a fluke-style hook. Pay close attention to water conditions; flounder prefer relatively clear water and can be sensitive to drastic changes in salinity or temperature. A local's secret is to target the areas around Pea Patch Island, where the Delaware River widens and provides ideal flounder habitat. Wading is possible in some areas, but a small boat or kayak will greatly expand your access.
