Flounder

If you're after Flounder, Ingleside on the Bay is a prime location, especially for gigging. These flatfish are abundant in the shallow, grassy flats of Aransas Bay and Corpus Christi Bay. The fall flounder run is legendary, as they migrate towards the Gulf to spawn. Focus your efforts around the mouths of creeks and channels that drain into the bays. Wade fishing or using a small boat to drift the flats is a common tactic. Try launching from Cove Harbor Marina for easy access to productive areas. Flounder in this area are known for their ambush tactics, so slow-rolling a jig or using live bait along the bottom is effective. Be sure to check the tide charts; flounder often move with the tide. Remember to practice catch and release to help maintain this valuable fishery.
