Flounder
Virginia Beach is a fantastic destination to chase Flounder, offering opportunities in the Chesapeake Bay and the Atlantic Ocean. The key to success here lies in understanding their migratory patterns. Flounder move into the Bay during the warmer months, providing excellent fishing around the Chesapeake Bay Bridge-Tunnel and Lynnhaven Inlet. Drift fishing with live or cut bait is a classic and effective technique. Look for areas with sandy or muddy bottoms near structure. A local tip is to use a 'flounder rig' with a spinner blade to attract attention in the often-murky waters of the Bay. In the fall, as water temperatures drop, Flounder migrate back out to the ocean, offering a second chance to target them as they stage near the ocean inlets. Pay close attention to water temperature and clarity, as these factors greatly influence Flounder activity. Consult local tide charts for optimal bite windows.
