Flounder
Hunting Flounder around Cape Charles, Virginia, can be very rewarding, especially if you understand their habits in the Chesapeake Bay. These masters of camouflage thrive in the sandy and muddy bottoms of the bay and its inlets. The best time to target them is during the warmer months, especially spring and fall, as they migrate in and out of the bay. Focus on areas with structure, like bridge pilings, docks, and channel edges. Live bait, such as minnows or small shrimp, are irresistible to Flounder. Water clarity is essential for sight-feeding Flounder; clearer water typically means better fishing. A local trick is to drift along the channel edges with a bucktail jig tipped with bait. The Flounder in the Chesapeake Bay are known for their relatively large size, offering a substantial meal for successful anglers. Remember to check the current regulations regarding size and bag limits before heading out.
