Flounder
If you're after flounder in the Beaufort, SC area, you're in the right place. The inshore waters around Beaufort, including the Chechessee River and the flats near Port Royal Sound, are prime locations for these tasty fish. Flounder fishing really picks up in the spring as the water warms and continues strong through the fall. As the local shrimp population increases, so does the flounder activity. Focus on areas with good tidal flow and structure like docks, oyster beds, and creek mouths. A great tactic is to slowly drag a Carolina-rigged mud minnow or shrimp along the bottom. For bank access, try the Spanish Moss Trail, offering various points along the water. Be mindful of the strong tides here; they significantly impact flounder behavior and location.
