* Hints:
During summer spawning flounder are found in shallow water on sandbanks and close to shore. In winter reside in deeper waters. Most flounder are taken at night using a spear and light. They lie on the bottom buried under the sand with only their eyes protruding. Bottom fishing from a drifting boat across the sand flats is productive. Trolling lures along the bottom can also be successful.
