The tasty flounder can be targeted all year on the Treasure Coast, but August through November and April-May are the best months. The average flounder in this area is from one to three pounds, but fish over 12 pounds are fairly commonplace. Flounder have both their eyes on the top of their head, which allows the fish to lie flat on the bottom, remaining motionless until its prey comes within striking distance. Most of the flounder we find in Florida waters are Southern flounder, which are left-facing flounder. Flounder are extremely aggressive, which makes them easy to target, and they often school in the same area. They will eat shrimp and baitfish, with finfish like mullet and pilchards the top offerings, although they can also be targeted with small white curly-tailed jigs bounced along the sand or mud bottom. Flounder often hang out around bridge or dock pilings in shallow water, feeding on the schools of small baitfish also attracted to these structures. In Florida waters there is a 12-inch minimum size limit and 10 fish bag limit on Flounder.
