Local Species Insights: Southern Flounder

Southern Flounder thrive in the shallow inshore waters, channels, and river mouths around Port Aransas, where they ambush prey from sandy bottoms and grass beds. These flatfish use their excellent camouflage to blend with bottom structure, making sight fishing both challenging and rewarding when you spot their distinctive outline. November conditions bring active feeding as water temperatures cool, and Southern Flounder move into shallow flats to hunt small fish and crustaceans. Captain Cory's artificial lure techniques target their aggressive feeding response, with soft plastics and spoons producing consistent results in 2-4 feet of water.
