Local Species Insights: Southern Flounder
Southern Flounder thrive in Cedar Point's brackish waters where they use their camouflaged bodies to ambush prey from sandy and muddy bottoms. These flatfish prefer water temperatures between 60-80°F and are most active during moving tides when baitfish and crabs are displaced from cover. The 16-inch specimen caught here demonstrates the healthy population that inhabits our local creek systems, oyster bars, and grass flats. Anglers target them using live mud minnows, finger mullet, and soft plastic baits worked slowly along bottom structure during prime feeding periods.
Plan Your Fishing Charter Day
Our Cedar Point fishing charters provide all tackle, bait, and safety equipment needed for a successful Southern Flounder trip. We fish from a well-equipped boat designed for shallow water navigation and comfortable casting positions.
