Bait, Tackle, and Technique

Fluke fishing is all about finesse and knowing how to work the bottom. We'll set you up with the right gear – think light tackle with bucktails or squid strips.

Top Catches This Season

Long Island's waters have been generous lately, with anglers pulling in some impressive fluke. We've seen folks go home with coolers full of tasty fillets, and more than a few have landed that coveted doormat – you know, those big boys over 5 pounds that'll have you grinning from ear to ear. The morning bite has been particularly hot, with some regulars swearing it's the best fluke fishing they've seen in years. Who knows, you might just be the next one to brag about landing the catch of the day!

Species You'll Want to Hook

Summer Flounder, better known as fluke, are the stars of this show. These flatfish are masters of camouflage, blending in with the sandy bottom until they ambush their prey. They're aggressive feeders, which makes for some exciting fishing. Fluke can grow up to 20 pounds, though most catches range from 2 to 5 pounds. What's cool about fluke is their fighting style – they'll give you a good run, then dig in and make you work for every inch of line. The best part? They're not just fun to catch; they're delicious on the dinner table too. Fluke season typically runs from May to September, with the peak action hitting in July and August. That's when these fish are actively feeding and fattening up, making our weekend trips prime time for landing a keeper.

What to Expect on the Water

Our 4-hour trips are the sweet spot for fluke fishing – long enough to get into some serious action, but not so long that you'll be wiped out for the rest of your day. We'll cruise out to some productive spots, dropping lines in areas where the fluke tend to congregate. Expect to hit a few different locations as we follow the bite. The waters around Long Island can be calm in the morning, but come prepared for a bit of chop – it's all part of the adventure. And keep your eyes peeled; it's not uncommon to spot other marine life while we're out there. Seals, dolphins, and even the occasional whale have been known to make guest appearances!

Why Anglers Keep Coming Back

There's something special about fluke fishing that keeps folks coming back for more. Maybe it's the thrill of feeling that distinctive bite, or the satisfaction of outsmarting a fish that's trying its best to blend in with the bottom. Our regulars love the challenge of trying to land that big one that always seems to get away. Plus, the camaraderie on board is hard to beat – there's nothing like sharing fishing stories and friendly competition with your buddies or family. And let's be real, the prospect of fresh fluke for dinner is a pretty good motivator too!
