Flounder
Targeting flounder around Johns Island, SC, offers a rewarding challenge. These flatfish are masters of camouflage, so focus on areas with sandy or muddy bottoms near structure. The mouths of tidal creeks draining into the Stono and Kiawah Rivers are particularly productive. Spring and fall are peak seasons as flounder migrate inshore and offshore. Dragging a Carolina-rigged mud minnow or Gulp! Swimming Mullet slowly along the bottom is a highly effective technique. Look for subtle changes in bottom contour or current that might hold flounder. Public boat ramps like the one at Bohicket Marina provide easy access to prime flounder territory. Be patient and persistent; flounder fishing often requires covering ground and experimenting with different presentations. Remember to check the current size and creel limits before heading out.
