Sorry to go all scientific. LOL But so many fisherman are not aware that there a many species of flounder in our waters from the Gulf and up the Atlantic coast into Canada.
The Gulf flounder (Paralichthys albigutta) identified by FWC is not the same species as the Summer Flounder (Paralichthys dentatus) or Fluke found in southern Atlantic waters and can be caught up into New England in the summer months. Also the Winter Flounder (Pseudopleuronectes americanus) can be found as far south as the Chesapeake Bay in the winter months. There are several other less abundant flounder species found in deeper waters off the coast.

It really depends on the year, Picture is from a few years back. Caught these in late july from the pier. I do prefer the cooler months to target them.  |
