Flounder Fishing 101

If you've never targeted flounder before, you're in for a treat. We use light tackle and specialized rigs to entice these bottom-huggers. The key is to feel for that subtle bite - flounder aren't known for aggressive strikes. We'll show you how to work your bait along the bottom with small, subtle movements.

The captain knows all the local hotspots, from sandy flats to deeper holes where flounder like to hang out.

Fluke Facts: Winter Flounder

Winter flounder, also known as blackback flounder, are a staple for many coastal anglers. These flat fish are masters of camouflage, blending in perfectly with sandy or muddy bottoms. They're not the biggest fish in the sea - a good one might hit 3-4 pounds - but what they lack in size, they make up for in flavor. Winter flounder are most active in cooler months, hence the name. They're fun to catch and even better to eat, with sweet, white flesh that's perfect for fish and chips or a simple pan fry. When you hook one, you'll feel that distinctive headshake as they try to stay glued to the bottom. It's light tackle fishing at its finest!

Why Anglers Love This Trip

This 4-hour flounder trip is a hit with both locals and visitors for a few reasons. First, it's a great introduction to bottom fishing without committing to a full day on the water. The early start means you're back on land with plenty of day left for other activities. It's also a more relaxed style of fishing compared to trolling or casting all day. You can chat with your buddies, enjoy the scenery, and wait for that rod tip to bounce. Plus, there's a good chance you'll be bringing home some fresh fish for dinner. It's the kind of trip where even if the bite is slow, you're still having a good time just being out on the water.

Learn more about the specie

Winter Flounder

Winter flounder, also called blackbacks, are a cool catch around here. These flatfish usually run 10-12 inches but can get up to 25 inches and 8 pounds. You'll find them lurking on the bottom in estuaries and bays, often camouflaged to match their surroundings. They're most active in cooler months, hence the name. Look for them in depths of 10-30 feet near structure like rocks or vegetation. Winter flounder are sight feeders, so mornings are prime time. They have small mouths, so we use sea worms or clams on a sensitive rod to detect their nibbles before they commit. Folks enjoy targeting these fish for their tasty white meat and the challenge of enticing a bite. One local trick: use a longer leader to let your bait drift naturally along the bottom where they're feeding. Don't underestimate their fight - go with 14-20 lb test line to handle bigger ones. Patient anglers who master reading the bottom contours often have the most success with these crafty flatfish.
