Flounder
Flounder fishing around Daufuskie Island, SC, is a rewarding pursuit, especially during the spring and fall migrations. These flatfish are ambush predators, lying in wait on the bottom for unsuspecting prey. Focus your efforts around docks, pilings, and sandy or muddy bottoms near tidal creeks and inlets. Live mud minnows or finger mullet rigged on a Carolina rig are highly effective. Slowly dragging your bait along the bottom is key to enticing a strike. A local's trick is to target areas with subtle current breaks, as flounder often position themselves there to conserve energy. The waters around Bloody Point on the northern tip of the island can be particularly productive. Access to these areas is primarily by boat, and several marinas on the island offer rentals. Remember, flounder have excellent camouflage, so be patient and persistent. Also, consider using braided line for increased sensitivity and better hooksets.
