The fluke have been on fire lately, folks! We've been seeing some real doormats come over the rails. Just last week, one of our guests landed a 7-pounder that had the whole boat cheering. Another group hit the fluke jackpot with a cooler full of keepers, most in the 3-4 pound range. And let's not forget about young Tommy who reeled in his first-ever fluke - a solid 5-pounder that put up one heck of a fight. These afternoon trips have been producing some stellar catches, so you'll want to bring your A-game and maybe leave some room in the freezer!
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. Fluke can grow to impressive sizes, with trophy fish pushing 10 pounds or more. They're known for their aggressive strikes and the challenge they present when it's time to reel 'em in. The best part? Fluke are not only fun to catch but also delicious to eat. Their white, flaky meat is prized by seafood lovers everywhere.
While we're primarily targeting fluke, don't be surprised if you hook into some other inshore species. Striped bass often cruise these same waters, and they'll put up a fight that'll test your skills. You might also tangle with some feisty bluefish or even a porgy or two. Each catch adds to the excitement of the day, giving you a real taste of what Freeport's inshore fishing is all about.

Summer flounder, or fluke, are masters of camouflage. These flatfish blend right into the sandy bottom, with both eyes on their left side. They're ambush predators, lying in wait for smaller fish and crustaceans. Most fluke we catch are 15-20 inches, but the big ones can hit 26 pounds. You'll find fluke in our inshore waters and estuaries, especially from spring through fall. They love structure like wrecks, reefs, and drop-offs. September to November is prime time, when they're fattening up for winter. Anglers enjoy targeting fluke for their fight and excellent table fare. They're known for their delicate, white flesh. When you hook one, be ready for some acrobatics – they'll often jump and twist to shake the hook. Here's a local tip: Use a bucktail jig tipped with a strip of squid or fish. Drag it slowly along the bottom with some short hops. That erratic action drives fluke crazy. Just be ready to set the hook hard when you feel that telltale thump.
