How anglers target Flounder at mapped spots.
Bounce a 3/8 oz white bucktail tipped with a strip of fresh-cut mullet belly along the sand-rock transitions at the base of the jetty. Flounder lie flat waiting for bait to come to them. The bite feels like a heavy weight — wait 3 seconds before setting.
3/8 oz white bucktail tipped with a strip of fresh mullet belly. Cast to the sandy transitions between rock and sand at the jetty base. Drag slowly along the bottom — flounder hit and hold. Wait 3 full seconds, then set with a long sweep.
3/8 oz white or chartreuse bucktail tipped with fresh-cut mullet belly. Work the sand-rock transitions at the jetty base on falling tide. Drag slowly along the bottom. Flounder hit and hold — wait 3 seconds before sweeping the rod to set.
3/8 oz white bucktail tipped with fresh-cut mullet belly or a live finger mullet. Work along the sand at the base of the pilings during the October-November run. Drag slowly — flounder hit and hold. Wait 3 full seconds before sweeping the rod up to set.
