Flounder both gather or lay individually in the shallows to feed. One side (the white side) of the Flounder is stark white and faces the sea floor bottom. The other side, is camouflaged to avoid detection from prey and both eyes are found on this side. TEXT us at 904-556-0230 or Email us at: floundergigging@gmail.com.
Where are Flounder found?
Oyster shell beds (see previous video), Sandbars, along the edge of the Marsh Grass. They will lay along the edge of the water only 1" deep or they will lay in up to 3' of water.

Sea sickness is never an issue because we are always in the back water and only a few feet from land (most of your fishing is done only a few feet from land in a very safe 4" to 12" of water as skim the mud flats, sandbars, oyster shell beds and marsh grass areas looking for Flounder, Sheepshead, etc),

First time ever flounder gigging. Great adventure. We will do this again. Perfect time with Captain Mac who was great. He put us on lots of big Flounder and Blue Crabs.

5-Star Review
Amazing trip on the flounder barge! Capt. Mac was very informative on teaching us the habitat and behavior of flounder as well as the techniques to best spot them laying on the camouflaged bottom. We gigged plenty of flounder for dinner, as well got a tour of the inland marsh. We seen horseshoe crabs, sea turtles, dolphins, starfish, blue crabs, redfish, as well as many many more marine life. Capt. Mac brought us across several types of bottom terrains, from oyster beds, to sticky mud flats and even sandy bottoms to locate these fish. The boat was very comfortable for the 5 of us, and the amazingly quiet fan engine helped us scoot across the shallow waters without creating a huge mud cloud as you would with a normal propeller. We’ve already got more groups wanting to plan additional trips. I highly recommend booking through Capt Mac on the Flounder Barge. Can’t wait until we go again!
