If you’re looking for a tasty treat that can be hooked year round, head down to Florida’s Emerald Coast and get ready to discover just what Choctawhatchee Bay Flounder fishing has to offer. Thanks to the bay’s network of flats, bayous, marshes, rivers, and brackish waters, visiting anglers can explore a range of fishing grounds and techniques as they cast off for this delectable Flatfish. Just bring your cooler along and get ready to fill it to the brim!
Where to Begin
If you’re a budding angler or are traveling with family, you’ll find that the fishing village of Destin offers up plenty of fishing charters aimed at newbies, which will usually see you heading to the flats near shore. If you’re feeling more adventurous, captains will take you to the waters around the man-made structures of Mid-Bay Bridge, where huge Flounder cling.
More experienced anglers will also find plenty of action on offer in Destin. Hop on a charter heading to the East Pass jetties, which are located right near the bay’s entrance to the Gulf. These fast-moving waters offer up huge Flatfish, and are trickier to navigate than the flats, providing the perfect challenge for fishermen wanting to test their skills.
If you’d like to avoid the crowds and embark on a more authentic, local-style adventure, beautiful Santa Rosa Beach and Point Washington offer up plenty of Flounder-fishing opportunities. Explore Hogtown Bayou and the murky, brackish waters around the entrance of the Choctawhatchee River for some trophy-sized fish. If you want to really test your skills, locals here swear by fly fishing for Flounder!
Need to Know
Choctawhatchee Bay captains will provide all the gear you need for a productive and fun day on the water, including rods, reels, bait or lures, tackle, and a fishing license for your whole group. Just bring snacks, drinks, weather-appropriate clothing, and plenty of excitement to hook yourself some tasty table fare!
