Flounder

For Flounder enthusiasts fishing near Point, Texas, the fall months are the golden window. As water temperatures cool, Flounder migrate towards the Gulf, making them more concentrated and easier to target. Focus your efforts around the mouths of creeks and bayous, as well as along channel edges and drop-offs. These ambush predators like to lie in wait for unsuspecting prey. A productive technique is to slowly drag a live mud minnow or finger mullet along the bottom. Alternatively, you can use soft plastic lures like Flounder pounders or grubs. A local secret: many anglers have success gigging for Flounder at night. The clear, shallow waters around Point can be ideal for this method. When fishing during the day, pay attention to the water clarity. Flounder prefer clear water, so look for areas with good visibility. Also, be prepared to move around. Flounder can be somewhat solitary, so covering ground is often necessary to find them. Remember to check the regulations regarding size and bag limits before heading out.
