Fall Flounder bite!

🎣 Flounder Fishing in St. Augustine with Halling In Fish Charters

If you’re looking to experience one of Northeast Florida’s most underrated inshore fisheries, flounder fishing with Halling In Fish Charters in St. Augustine should be at the top of your list.

These flat, ambush predators may not be flashy, but they make up for it with delicious fillets and exciting, technique-driven fishing in some of the most scenic waters Florida has to offer.

🐟 What Makes Flounder Fishing Unique?

Flounder are masters of camouflage. They bury themselves in the sandy bottom, lying in wait to ambush passing prey like shrimp, mullet, or fingerling baitfish. Catching them requires a little more finesse and patience than other inshore species — which is exactly what makes it so rewarding.

With Halling In Fish Charters, we specialize in targeting flounder on light tackle, using a combination of natural bait and soft plastics around the best local structure spots.

📍 Where We Fish for Flounder

St. Augustine offers prime flounder habitat, and we know just where to look:

  • Creek mouths in the Matanzas and Tolomato Rivers

  • Docks and oyster bars along the Intracoastal Waterway

  • Mud and sand flats near Vilano and Salt Run

  • Rocky shorelines and jetties near the inlet

We tailor each trip to the tides and time of year to give you the best shot at a quality catch.

🎣 Our Gear and Techniques

With Halling In Fish Charters, you’ll be using quality light spinning gear — perfect for feeling that signature “thump” when a flounder commits to the bait.

What We Use:

  • Live mud minnows or finger mullet on a Carolina rig

  • Gulp shrimp or curly tail soft plastics on jigheads

  • Slow, bouncing retrieves to tempt flounder from the bottom

We’ll teach you how to feel the bite, give the fish a second to eat, and set the hook with confidence.

🗓️ When’s the Best Time to Fish for Flounder?

While flounder can be caught year-round in St. Augustine, the best fishing tends to be in the spring and fall, especially:

  • April to early June

  • September through November (just before their offshore migration)

These cooler months bring bigger fish inshore and increase your chances of landing a true doormat.

🧊 Table Fare Worth Bragging About

Let’s be honest — one of the biggest reasons people love targeting flounder is because they’re absolutely delicious.

Fillets are:

  • White, flaky, and mild

  • Perfect for pan-frying, grilling, or even stuffing and baking

  • A hit with even the pickiest seafood eaters

Our charters include fish cleaning, so you’ll leave with dinner ready to go.
