The marsh was alive on this trip. Every drain, every cut, every little piece of nervous water had a story to tell — and I spent the day breaking down exactly how to read it.

If you’ve ever wondered where flounder actually set up… or how reds use the marsh like a highway, this new video is packed with the kind of detail that changes the way you fish. I mixed in plenty of real catches so you can see the patterns play out in real time.

If you’re trying to level up your marsh game, this one’s worth the watch.

The Gulf Coast marshes are still absolutely on fire, and the bite keeps getting better every week. If this pace holds, fall fishing is going to be downright ridiculous. Flounder fishing is already in full swing.

Just a couple weeks ago we were putting 5–10 flounder in the boat by late morning. Now we’re catching 10–20 within just a few hours. When you find them, they’re super aggressive—and it’s all driven by menhaden (pogies). We’re seeing flounder blowing up on pogie schools tight to the grass, and once the livewell starts filling with flounder, the pogies they cough up tell the rest of the story.

Redfish are the same way: when you find them, they’re fired up. We haven’t been targeting reds specifically, but while hopping point‑to‑point for flounder, we’re seeing plenty of reds pushing shallow and chasing shrimp. A few casts is usually all it takes. They’re just less tolerant of these upper‑80s water temps, sliding in and out of the flats as conditions shift.

Our focus has been the lower to mid marshes—lower meaning closest to the Mississippi Sound, and mid being farther up the bay systems and rivers. Pogies are everywhere right now, but the key is finding schools tight to the grass near the deepest water in that area. Don’t overthink “deep.” In two of our best spots, “deep” was only 3–4 feet, but that deeper water was within 10 yards of the grass. The rest of the flat had 30–40 yards of shallow water before you reached that depth, and those areas held far fewer pogies tight to the grass.

Even though we’re catching flounder and reds in 1–2 feet of water, the nearby deeper water is what keeps pogies cruising the grass lines. Flats with 50 yards of shallow water between the grass and deeper water will still have pogies—but mostly scattered across the flat, not pushed up against the grass where the predators are feeding.

Take a little time to scan the surface. The pogie schools are easy to spot milling around. As for lures, I won’t dive into specifics. But it's hard to go wrong with 4' baitfish-colored swimbaits. These fish are feeding so hard you can throw just about anything—lures or live bait. I stick with lures because they let me move faster and find fish quicker.

Bottom line: the bite is hot, so get out there!

Flounder sitting tight on the point—classic ambush spot. Watch the strike, the hook‑set, and how staying patient pays off!

Small points! Nice flounder! Check out this tip!

Fishing this weighted EWG hook like a cheat code!

The reds were fired up near a school of shrimp. The excitement kicked off with a big red chasing my lure at boatside....then my son doubles up. Requiring a double net job. Too much fun! Find the shrimp in the marsh, and reds will most likely be there too.

Flounder love points! And sometimes the points are not so obvious until you get close to them. Explore your local shorelines for small ambush areas and reap the benefits. If I could only fish for flounder on one feature...it would be points!

In this video I'm targeting flounder around rocky structure including rip rap, jetties, rock walls, and other hard structure where flounder like to ambush prey. These areas can hold huge populations of flounder, due to their abundance of food, and plenty of ambush spots. Yet, many anglers shy from these areas because of losing hooks, bait, and lures due to snags on the rocks. And THAT is why I made this video. If you're one of those anglers, duplicate the techniques in the video, and you'll start putting flounder in the cooler.

It’s only August, but in my opinion the “fall” flounder run is starting to happen. But it’s not the run out of the bays in November….it’s the run into the bays, going on now! Bigger flounder are pushing further into our bays, bayous, and rivers every week. Two factors, plenty of salty water from minimal rain has the menhaden (pogies) moving deep into our marsh estuaries. And undoubtedly, shrimp are starting to move also. We’ve had several really good flounder trips in the Pascagoula system the past couple weeks, catching numbers, but even better….bigger flounder. We’ve caught quite a few 17-20” fish, with very few throwbacks.

Here’s the juice. Remember, our inshore waters are still hot…approaching 90 degrees by late afternoon. Even though it’s still warm, a few degrees cooler matters, and in the mornings on our higher tides, the flounder will get shallow, taking advantage of the high water, baitfish along the marsh grass, and cooler water temps. The action is fast and furious when you find them. I focus on marsh points and the grass lines within 50’ of the point. Even better if those points are near deeper water. As the tides flow out and the water drops, the day starts to heat up literally. Those same flounder up close on the points will simply fall back to “slightly” deeper water, but still on or near the same points. Just 4-5’ of water can be substantially cooler, with better oxygenation, which will hold bait and flounder all day.

Last but not least, stay.on.the.move! These flounder are aggressive and feeding heavily. If you are not catching…they are not there. Move. Trust the process, and you will eventually find an area with fish, and then it’s on.

Big Lure Confidence — Many anglers hesitate to throw oversized lures, but my teenage son proves they can be the key to landing giants. Bottom line, my son has fished with me since he was 6, so he can fish as a 17-year-old. But like most young anglers, he can still make silly mistakes and lack confidence at times. The past several months he's decided he wants to land some bigs, so he's picked up the big swimbaits, and stuck with them until the bite happens. All it takes is the first big bite to get you hooked!
