Not only is fishing for flounder fun, eating it is also most enjoyable. It is considered to be the only fish for people who do not like the taste of fish. Flounder are not only a favorite dish in seafood restaurants. They are also a backyard favorite enjoyed by many.

Flounder are saltwater fish and finding the right spot to catch them can take a little effort. You may have to move your boat a couple of times, but wait about half an hour before moving to a different area. The best time to catch flounder is in the late fall or winter months when they migrate to deeper waters. The average-sized flounder congregate in specific areas, but they can also scatter on the bottom of the water in groups or alone. The secret to a good catch them is to locate the area and work it as fast and efficiently as possible.

An inlet is a good area to find flounder because they feed on the concentration of baitfish that is there. In the winter months when they are in the deep water they will settle in areas offering shelter. Winter is the most productive time to catch flounder.

Get your pole, some chum, a chum bucket and a trot line to use. The chum should be frozen and put in the chum bucket. Be sure to attach a line to your chum bucket and lower it to the bottom area where you are going to fish. This will allow the chum to float about and attract the flounder. Use chum as the bait on your line and cast it out and let it sink to the bottom. The flounder will come to the bait and you will have your catch. Enjoy!
