Flounder
If you're looking for flounder, the waters around Edisto Beach offer excellent opportunities. These flatfish are abundant in the shallow bays, creeks, and inlets. Focus your efforts around structure like docks, oyster beds, and submerged logs. The best time to target flounder is during the warmer months, from late spring through early fall, when they are actively feeding. A Carolina rig with a live mud minnow or finger mullet is a highly effective presentation. Drifting along the bottom with the current is a good way to cover ground and find where the flounder are holding. A local trick is to use a scented artificial lure, as this can help attract flounder in murky water. The North Edisto River and the creeks near the Edisto Beach State Park are productive areas. Be patient, as flounder are masters of camouflage and can be difficult to spot.
