Flounder

If you're targeting flounder, Tiki Island, Texas, provides a unique nearshore saltwater experience. The canals and bayou-like areas around Tiki Island offer prime ambush points for these flatfish. Fall is the peak season as flounder migrate towards the Gulf of Mexico for spawning. Focus your efforts around the canal mouths where they meet Galveston Bay. A key to success here is fishing slowly and methodically along the bottom with Carolina-rigged baits or soft plastics on jig heads. Many anglers find success drifting along the bottom with live shrimp. Local knowledge suggests that the darker, muddier bottoms tend to hold more flounder, so concentrate your efforts there. Also, be aware of boat traffic in the canals, especially on weekends. Public boat ramps are available nearby, but parking can be limited, especially during peak season.
