Best Time to Catch Flounder
Flounder can be caught year-round in Gloucester Point. Right now in February, activity is low.
Seasonal Activity Chart
Flounder
Targeting flounder around Gloucester Point requires understanding their seasonal movements within the brackish waters of the lower Chesapeake Bay. These flatfish migrate into the bay in spring as water temperatures rise, and then head back offshore in the fall. Focus your efforts on sandy or muddy bottoms near channel edges and inlets, like those around the York River. Drifting with a bottom rig baited with squid or minnows is a classic and effective technique. A local tip is to pay attention to the tide; flounder often feed more actively during moving water. Also, consider using a brightly colored bead or spinner blade above your bait to attract their attention in the sometimes murky water. The Coleman Bridge offers bank fishing access, but be mindful of the strong currents.
