Flounder
Chasing flounder around West Point, Virginia, requires understanding the nuances of the Chesapeake Bay's tidal influence and the species' migratory patterns. These flatfish tend to move into the area's brackish waters – the York, Mattaponi, and Pamunkey Rivers – during the warmer months, seeking out shallow, sandy or muddy bottoms. The prime time is typically late spring through early fall. Drifting with live minnows or strips of squid along the channel edges is a productive technique. A local hotspot is near the Coleman Bridge, where the structure attracts baitfish and, in turn, flounder. Remember to use a sensitive rod to detect the subtle bites. Also, be aware that the water clarity can vary greatly, so having a selection of different colored lures can be advantageous. Check local reports for the most recent flounder activity, as it can fluctuate based on water temperature and salinity.
