While the fall flounder run is a well-known spectacle, the spring return is a more subtle "trickle" that begins as early as late February. Unlike the concentrated mass exodus of the fall, spring flounder gradually re-enter estuaries through passes and channels, eventually spreading throughout the bays from deep ledges to shallow marsh guts. This transition period offers excellent opportunities for anglers willing to brave the spring winds, using sinking lures for deep water early in the season and shallow-water shrimp imitations as temperatures rise.Editorial StaffApr 15th, 2026

September marks the month that most people fishing for redfish truely love. There are numerous ways to fish for redfish. Huge ‘bull reds’ will soon be within reach of passes. Bay shoreline’s harboring smooth cordgrass, oyster reefs, or sea-grass flats will attract numerous juveniles; many tailing, crawling, or creating ‘muds’ as they root for grass shrimp that are maturing. But few hear of the mention of the ‘open water’ bay technique. Mainly because it’s the primary method that savvy tournament anglers utilize to win Gulf Coast redfish tournaments.
