Best way to catch Flounder
 

What is the best way to catch flounder. I have caught them while fishing for them with cocahoe type baits hopped along the bottom and have caught them on gold spoons fishing for reds. That being said, is there a really good bait and technique just for flounder?

Gulp swimming mullet in white or chartruese... worked on the bottom near edges... like edge of cuts, ship channel, points on ship channel, or mouths of cuts... moving water and bait fish is a must.

you could always gig-em on a nice sandy sandbar on a falling tide.

I've had good luck with te gulp truce swimming mullet , and a green color paddle tail style baits . Always heard green is a killer flounder color

X2, well said.

A Carolina rig w/a live cocahoe minnow drug across the bottom, Live shrimp under a cork fishing marsh drains or banks, cocahoe minnow type plastic bounced off the bottom

a flounder rig too
might be the same as carolina with bate at end and weight above at 1 or more foot.

bait fish a must as well as moveing water.
u get extra i will take um!

Gulp swim mullet is the ticket....make sure you have plenty you will loose several tails. If you keep em in your ice chest they last a lil longer.

Gulp swimming mullet, chartreuse in color. flounder and reds love-em!!!!

Play with the retrieve. Most times just drag it on the bottom, short slow hops or slow swimming it. One of these usually works.

Swimming mullet is good, shrimp tipped jigs also work. While moving water and bait are a big plus, any good "ambush" spot can be good also.

Bucktail jig
 

I use Spro Bucktail Jigs green or white tipped with shrimp or Gulp live Swimming mullet in white or chart or pink. I drag or bounce if off the bottom in a slow motion keeping my line tight for feel. I also have excellent luck on live finger mullet (when I can get them) rigged on a Texas flounder rig.

Flounder will also hit a small gold spinner bait..... with any of the above baits attached. A yellow grub is also a good bait to use.

Tipping the hook with shrimp will get more bites.

Thanks!
