Flounder
Targeting flounder near Coles Point in the lower Potomac River and Chesapeake Bay can be rewarding, especially if you understand their habits. These flatfish thrive in the sandy and muddy bottoms surrounding the point. The prime season is typically late spring through early fall, when water temperatures are warmer. Drifting with live minnows or squid strips along the channel edges and shallow flats is a proven method. A local angler's trick is to use a brightly colored bead or spinner blade above your bait to attract attention in the often-murky waters. Access to these fishing grounds is readily available from the Coles Point Marina and other nearby boat ramps. Remember that flounder are masters of camouflage, so slow and deliberate presentations are key. The flounder population in this area can vary from year to year, but with the right techniques and a bit of patience, you can certainly find success.
