Just came across your channel. I lived in OC in 1986-90. Biggest flounder I ever caught was right in the channel just east of the 50 bridge. All the head boats would clean their catch and dump the fish scraps off the pier. When I was there the whole area between the commercial harbor and the 50 bridge was beach and marsh. There was a area called shanty town. Now it’s been all developed into nice homes and a big marina.

Great information. Thank you!

I've seen you fishing on the bay and the south jetty. Currently I'm using a 12 foot Pro Angler kayak with stern mount trolling motor. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us.

Great video Scott. Very informative. I'll be there the week of July 4th this year and will be renting a pontoon boat for our group to fish for flounder. I'll have to splurge and buy a new rod for flouder fishing.

@FishinOC I should have just bought one from you at the great american outdoors shield in Harrisburg. Lol

I grew up fishing the thorofare, route 50 bridge, and all the others. I laughed my a$s off when you said DONT EVER ANCHOR IN THE EAST CHANNEL 😂

I was looking for the video like this one. Thank you

Great Job Scott. Its Steve Iwaszko from church...

Thank you for the information. I have been trying to zero in on the spots that I hear so much about but the charts for the back bay are hard to come by. I plan to put your rigs to good use in the next few weeks.

Hello Scott My name is Paul Smith. My middle name is Scott. I just subscribed to your channel. I'm 71 years old and have lived here since the mid 80's. Love your videos. Question... Where are some spots I can cast a net for mullet and minnows without getting in a boat? I used to use minnow tapes but want try your suggestion of casting for them.

Some of the boat ramps and marsh edges can hold some bait sometimes. Gotta find them.

I live near the outlets on the west Channel. I have a pier here and never have any luck. Ill see people drifting out by hoopers and catching stuff. When is the best time to fish for flounder and what tides?. Must be doing something wrong

@FishinOC

As long as the water is clean and moving you have a chance to catch flounder April through November.

Good tell !

Thanks for putting out this video. Neither my Jon boat or my pontoon are seaworthy vessels, so its nice to know the best spots in the back bays. What is the best time of year to catch trout and drum around OC?

Probably September / October OC inlet.

You’re right it is pretty shallow down there, but there can be some pretty good fishing at the bridge and in the channel.

Thanks for the info. What make and size of boat do you use?

Any spots you would stay away from in a kayak? 12' Old town PDL. Current can be a killer if you don't know where and when to go.

Inlet and east span of the 50 bridge can get ripping on the tide. Might avoid those if you don’t know it well. Good luck!
