Flounder

Chasing Flounder from Wills Point means venturing to the Texas Gulf Coast, where these masters of camouflage lie in wait. Galveston Bay and its surrounding estuaries are your best bet. Flounder gigging is a popular and effective method, particularly in the fall as they migrate to deeper waters. If you prefer angling, focus on areas with sandy or muddy bottoms near channel edges, docks, and piers. A local tip: Flounder are ambush predators, so use a slow, deliberate retrieve with your bait. Live shrimp or mud minnows are excellent choices. Also, keep in mind that flounder fishing is often best at night or during periods of low light. Many anglers wade fish at night with underwater lights to attract flounder.
