Flounder
Targeting flounder around Beech Island, South Carolina, means exploring the muddy bottom of the Savannah River's brackish estuaries and creeks. This area provides the ideal habitat for these flatfish, with plenty of ambush points near oyster beds, docks, and creek mouths. Spring and fall are prime times, as flounder migrate inshore to spawn and feed. Drifting live bait, such as mud minnows or shrimp, along the bottom is a highly effective technique. You can also try jigging with soft plastic lures tipped with bait. A local tip: focus your efforts on areas with slight current, as flounder prefer to lie in wait for prey to be swept past them. Be aware of the regulations regarding size and bag limits for flounder in South Carolina, as they can change seasonally. Also, remember that the water clarity in this area can vary greatly depending on recent rainfall, so adjust your lure color and presentation accordingly.
