Seasonal Activity Chart
Flounder
Edisto Island offers some excellent flounder fishing, particularly in the creeks and estuaries surrounding the island. The key is understanding the seasonal movements of baitfish. As water temperatures rise in the spring, flounder begin to migrate into these shallower areas from offshore. Focus your efforts around docks, oyster beds, and creek mouths where flounder ambush prey. Live mud minnows or finger mullet rigged on a Carolina rig are tough to beat. Fall is another prime time as flounder prepare to head back offshore. Pay attention to water clarity; flounder prefer cleaner water. Launching from the Edisto Marina provides easy access to many productive areas. A local tip: Many anglers find success drifting along the edges of the Intracoastal Waterway, bumping bottom with their bait. Adjust your weight based on the current to maintain bottom contact.
