Flounder

If you're targeting flounder, Runaway Bay, Texas, offers a unique angling experience on the edge of Bridgeport Lake, where it meets the brackish waters influenced by the Trinity River. This creates a dynamic environment where flounder can thrive, especially in the fall as they migrate towards the Gulf for spawning. Focus your efforts around the bridge pilings and any areas with submerged structure where the river channel enters the lake. Early morning and late evening tides are prime times. A local tip: try using live mullet or mud minnows on a Carolina rig, bouncing it slowly along the bottom. Be aware that the water clarity can vary greatly depending on recent rainfall, so having a variety of lure colors is always a good idea. The flounder here tend to be of good size, offering a rewarding fight for anglers of all skill levels.
