Top Ten Flounder Hot Spots For Long Island
March 31st, 2008Every year, people ask us what the “best Flounder spot” is… so here is the official Causeway TOP TEN list for the Flounder spots (not in any particular order though)!
We would love to see some comments on this… feel free!
1- Milburn Creek in Baldwin… way up the creek, at the Atlantic Ave. boat ramp.
2- South East side of the third Wanatgh bridge… typically a little later in the season though.
3- Squa Island area… again, later in the season but it used to be good right from the start!
4- Baldwin Bay… In the hole on the East side.
5- Massapequa Cove… In the hole on the East side in front of the brick house.
6- Coast Guard Station (Short Beach)… Typically the last place to catch them before they’re gone.
7- Hole In The Bay… West of the Loop Parkway off Cinder Creek.
8- Merrick Bay… In any of the deeper holes, especially the ones on the West side.
9- The cove next to the Jones Beach Piers… in the sticky mud.
10- The entrance to Hudson Canal in Freeport… right up against the bank on the East side.
Some of these spots were TOP SECRET when there were some Flounder in this bay and we are SO sad to see the decline of this fishery. I remember as a kid, anticipating opening day, getting out there with loads of clams and mussels, chum pots and of coarse… corn. Nothing better than fresh Flounder on the dinner table!!
Awesome list. Nice to see you guys sharing the secrets. Anyone have a top 10 list for Suffolk County? Any Long Island Sound hot spots for flounder?
The brick house on the east side of Massapequa Cove is no longer brick. I gave up fishing for winter flounder and just wasting gas on it four or five years ago, but will see you guys when the striper and fluke seasons start !
Hey pequa1…. thanks for the info! Many people feel the same way you do and they don’t even bother to try Flounder fishing. What a shame, it used to be so much fun first thing in the season.
Thanks for the info on the brick house too!!
We’ll see you April 15th I hope!

Hey Gregg, from now until around the 1st of September the Summer Flounder/Fluke fishing should be really good in and around the Moriches Inlet. If you have any other questions feel free to get in touch!
