Local Species Insights: Southern Flounder

Southern Flounder thrive in Savannah's inshore waters, particularly around the structural elements and current seams of Tybee Island and Wilmington Island. These ambush predators bury themselves in sandy or muddy bottoms near structure, waiting to pounce on passing baitfish. Our bottom fishing approach targets these hiding spots effectively, presenting baits right in their strike zone.

Fall is an excellent time to target Southern Flounder in Savannah as they begin gathering for their offshore spawning migration. During this period, they feed aggressively to build energy reserves, making them more likely to strike both artificial lures and live baits. The morning hours often produce the best action, allowing us to work deeper holes and channel edges where flounder stage during their seasonal movements. Our local techniques are specifically tailored to these patterns, giving you the best opportunity to land these delicious and challenging gamefish.
