Flounder

Flounder fishing around Corpus Christi is an exciting game of hide-and-seek. These masters of camouflage thrive in the shallow, muddy flats and channels of the bay system. The fall flounder run, as they migrate towards the Gulf to spawn, is legendary. Focus your efforts around lighted docks and piers at night, as these attract baitfish and, consequently, flounder. A slow-rolled jighead with a soft plastic trailer is a deadly presentation. Try using a Gulp! swimming mullet, as it mimics the natural forage. A key to success is patience and a slow, deliberate retrieve. Packery Channel is known as a productive spot for flounder due to its strong currents and abundance of baitfish. Remember to use a landing net, as flounder can be easily lost at the boat. These fish are delicious, so a cooler is a must!
