Flounder
If you're after Flounder around Atlantic Beach, South Carolina, the inshore waters and estuaries are where you'll want to concentrate your efforts. These flatfish are ambush predators, so focus on areas with structure like docks, pilings, and oyster beds. The fall months, particularly September and October, are generally considered the best time to target flounder as they migrate offshore. A Carolina rig with live mud minnows or finger mullet is a classic and effective presentation. Drifting these baits along the bottom near likely ambush points can be very productive. Alternatively, try bouncing a jig head tipped with a soft plastic along the bottom. A good place to start is the Little River Inlet. Be patient and persistent, as flounder can be masters of camouflage. Remember to check the size and creel limits before you head out.
