    Great Morning Fishing

    Todd worked hard to get us on the fish. The tide was going out so it was difficult. But we got some good flounder and trout.

    Amazing fishing trip!

    We had an amazing time with Hot Reels Inshore Charters! The captain was very friendly, patient, and helpful the whole trip. He worked hard to put us on fish, and we caught several, including one over 5 pounds. We had a lot of fun and really enjoyed the experience. We would definitely book with him again and highly recommend this charter!

About Flounder fishing

Flounder fishing targets a smart ambush predator that hides on sandy and muddy bottoms. These Flatfish blend into the seabed, then burst up to grab bait. Anglers love them for their firm, tasty fillets and for how hard they pull for their size.

Most Flounder fishing happens in inshore waters such as bays, estuaries, and flats. Drift fishing, where the boat moves with wind or tide, covers ground and finds active fish. Bottom fishing with live minnows, mullet, or shrimp works well. Jigs with soft plastics or bucktails also produce when you bounce them slowly along the bottom.

Trips are usually close to shore and on calmer water, which makes them great for beginners and families. Expect short runs, steady action around moving tides, and subtle bites that feel like a tap or extra weight. Bring sun protection, polarized sunglasses to spot bottom contours, non-slip shoes, and a small cooler if you plan to keep fish where it is allowed.

Rules for Flounder fishing vary by location and season. Always check local fishing license and permit requirements before you go. Review current seasons, size and bag limits, and method rules, including any restrictions on night fishing or gigging. When in doubt, ask your captain, and practice careful handling if releasing fish.
