While Clinchport is inland, accessing Virginia's coastal waters will put you in prime flounder territory. The Chesapeake Bay, particularly the Eastern Shore and areas around Hampton Roads, offers excellent flounder fishing. The best time to target flounder is during the warmer months, from late spring through early fall, as they migrate into the Bay from offshore waters. Drifting with live minnows or strips of squid along the bottom is a common and effective technique. Focus on areas with sandy or muddy bottoms near channel edges, bridges, and docks. A local tip: use a flounder rig with a brightly colored bead or spinner to attract their attention in murky water. Also, be mindful of the tides, as flounder often feed more actively during periods of moving water. Virginia flounder are known for their camouflage abilities, so pay close attention to your line and be ready to set the hook at the slightest tap.
