Flounder
Flounder fishing around Hilton Head Island is a popular pursuit, and for good reason. The sandy bottoms and muddy flats of Port Royal Sound and the surrounding estuaries provide excellent habitat for these flatfish. The fall months, particularly September and October, are generally considered the best time to target Flounder as they migrate out of the creeks. Local tip: Drifting live bait, such as mud minnows or small mullet, along the bottom is a highly effective technique. Pay close attention to the current and adjust your weight accordingly to keep your bait near the bottom. Also, the relatively clear water around Hilton Head can make Flounder skittish, so use longer leaders and make long casts when possible. While keeper-size Flounder can be challenging to find at times, persistence and proper presentation will increase your chances of success.
