Flounder
Targeting flounder near Port Republic, Virginia, requires a strategic approach. While Port Republic itself is inland, it provides easy access to the tidal rivers and creeks that flow into the Chesapeake Bay, prime flounder habitat. These flatfish are ambush predators, so focus on areas with structure like docks, pilings, and oyster beds. The warmer months, particularly late spring through early fall, are the most productive. Drifting with live minnows or squid strips is a classic technique. A Carolina rig with a small bucktail jig can also be deadly. Pay close attention to the current; flounder prefer to lie in wait on the down-current side of structure. Local knowledge is key, so check with tackle shops for the latest hotspots. One tip: the shallower, grassy flats near the mouths of creeks often hold good numbers of flounder, especially on an incoming tide.
