Flounder

Flounder fishing near Kemah, Texas, is a popular pursuit, particularly during the fall migration as these flatfish move towards the Gulf of Mexico. Galveston Bay and its adjacent waterways offer ideal habitat. Focus your efforts on muddy or sandy bottoms near channel edges and docks. Live mud minnows or finger mullet rigged on a Carolina rig are highly effective. Slow-dragging your bait along the bottom is crucial. Water clarity plays a significant role; look for areas with clearer water, especially on incoming tides. A key tip for Kemah anglers: fish the lights around the docks at night, as flounder are ambush predators and are drawn to the light. Also, be aware of the size and bag limits, as regulations can change.
