Flounder
Port Mansfield is a top destination for Flounder enthusiasts, particularly during the fall migration. As the water cools, these flatfish move into the bays and channels in preparation for spawning. The key to success is slow and deliberate presentations. Focus on areas with sandy or muddy bottoms near drop-offs and channel edges. A local favorite is drifting live shrimp or mud minnows along the bottom. Try working the ICW (Intracoastal Waterway) edges near the jetties. Another tip: fish during the outgoing tide, as flounder often ambush prey as it's swept out of the shallows. The flounder population in Port Mansfield is healthy, and you have a good chance of landing a quality fish. Remember to use a landing net, as their delicate mouths can tear easily.
