Chasing Flounder near Isle of Palms? You've picked a great location. The shallow, sandy bottoms and muddy estuaries surrounding the island are perfect hunting grounds for these flatfish. Focus your efforts on areas near inlets like Breach Inlet, creek mouths, and docks. Flounder fishing is generally best from late spring through early fall, when water temperatures are warmer. Live baitfish like mud minnows or mullet are highly effective, but Gulp! shrimp on a jighead also produce well. A local's secret: try fishing the edges of the ICW channel, especially where it intersects with smaller creeks. These areas often hold flounder waiting to ambush bait. The flounder here can be surprisingly large, so be prepared for a good fight. Remember to drag your bait slowly along the bottom, as flounder are ambush predators and won't chase a fast-moving lure.
