Flounder

While Lake Bridgeport is a freshwater reservoir, to target Flounder in Texas, you'll need to head closer to the coast. Focus on the saltwater bays and estuaries near the Gulf of Mexico, such as those near Galveston or Corpus Christi. Flounder fishing is best in the fall as they migrate to spawn. Look for muddy or sandy bottoms near channels and inlets. A good strategy is to drift or wade, casting small jigs or live bait like mud minnows. Consider using a Carolina rig to keep your bait near the bottom. Pay attention to tidal movements, as flounder often feed more actively during incoming or outgoing tides. Public access points are plentiful along the coast, but be sure to check local regulations regarding size and bag limits before you go.
