Paralichthys albigutta

Gulf Flounder can be found both inshore and offshore out to 25ft. They range from Centipede bay out to the tanks. There is a large sandy spot just north of the tanks that holds flounder in the summer and fall. They also can be found along the rocky bottom in 8 to 16 ft of water. Flounder are not usually the target fish when caught, however there are a few anglers do target flounder. Typically they are divers that have come across a rocky or sandy area that is holding flounder.
