Flounder
If you're after flounder, La Porte, Texas, provides excellent access to the productive waters of Galveston Bay. This bay system is a flounder hot spot, particularly during the fall migration as they move towards the Gulf of Mexico. Focus your efforts around lighted piers, docks, and jetties at night, as these areas attract baitfish and, consequently, flounder. Soft plastics rigged on jigheads or live shrimp are effective baits. A local tip: slow-rolling your bait along the bottom is crucial, as flounder are ambush predators. The Texas City Dike, a short drive from La Porte, is a popular spot for flounder fishing. Be patient, as flounder can be subtle strikers. The flounder in Galveston Bay are known for their flat shape and camouflage, so pay close attention to your line for any slight tugs. The 'flounder run' in late fall is legendary, so plan your trip accordingly.
