Our skipper knows these waters like the back of their hand, so you're in for a treat.

Fluke Fishing 101

Alright, let's talk tactics. Fluke fishing is an art, and we've got it down to a science. We'll be using a mix of techniques, from drifting with the current to jigging along the bottom. Our go-to setup? A bucktail jig tipped with a strip of squid or a Gulp! artificial bait. It's all about that slow, enticing presentation that makes fluke go crazy. We'll show you how to work your rod tip just right to give your bait that irresistible dance. And when you feel that bite, it's all about the hookset – a quick, sharp lift of the rod and you're in business. Don't worry if you're new to this; our crew will be right there to guide you through every cast and reel.

Top Catches This Season

Let me tell you, the fluke have been on fire lately! We've been seeing some real doormats come over the rails. Just last week, Jimmy from Queens pulled in a whopper pushing 8 pounds – that's some serious bragging rights right there. And it's not just about size; we've had days where the coolers are practically overflowing with keeper-sized fluke. The key is knowing where they're holding and what they're biting on, and that's where our local expertise comes in handy. We're always keeping tabs on the hot spots and sharing the intel with our guests.

Species You'll Want to Hook

Summer flounder, AKA fluke, are the stars of the show on this trip. 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 heart-pounding action when they strike. Fluke can grow up to 20 pounds or more, though a good keeper in our waters is typically in the 3 to 5-pound range. What makes them so exciting to catch? It's all in the fight. When hooked, fluke put up a spirited battle, using their broad, flat bodies to resist all the way to the surface. And let's not forget – they're absolutely delicious on the dinner table. The best time to target fluke is from late spring through early fall when they move into our inshore waters to feed and spawn. Trust me, once you've felt the thrill of reeling in a big fluke, you'll be hooked for life.
