    Black/silver works well on my daughter's stick but it looks like I'll never get my purple Avet back

    "Must Bring Along" Fluke Outfits - My Current Thinking, But Where Are YOU At?

    All depends on conditions: back bay skinny water (<10' deep) I use my ultralight shimano compre w/ old Penn 430SS, out front in ocean off jetties I use my go-to custom spinner that's my favorite from boats. In all cases I use Lep's B/S rig. In spring though Fluke seem to prefer spearing over Gulp

    "Must Bring Along" Fluke Outfits - My Current Thinking, But Where Are YOU At?

    Except for my icefishing and tuna gear, I think I've used every setup in my arsenal for fluke! From ultralight trout rods to XH tilerods, from 1/4 oz jigs to 28 oz sinkers, fluke equipment runs the gamet. These days though I prefer spinning equipment when feasible so I can cover more ground...

    Jigs For Seabass?

    Hey Mitch. When the Seabass are on sandeels jigging is the Bomb! I've been using the Tsunami Split Tail Minnow (pearl spot) as my teaser above the smallest jig that gets you down. Last year on Party Boat I was the only one on the Port side and I used Spinner with ava17 + Split-tails, the...

    With the fluke season behind us, did you do better or worse than last year.

    I hit it harder than usual this year and it was definitely off. I fluked pre-season from shore alot and did very well in the skinny stuff b4 being disappointed in the deep. Massachusetts fluking restored my faith in early August when I had one dream trip to Nantucket Shoals, then came...

    Post your 2019-2025 Fluke Pix & Trip Reports Here!

    Another Massachusetts Massacre in the books. Our annual trip targets Fluke/Sea Bass one day then Cod/Haddock the next. Unfortunately the State will not allow anglers to sleep on boat so we had to travel from Nantucket Shoals back to Hyannis, grab a nearby hotel then muster early next day to go...

    Fryday flukin', literally. Never have I seen so many juvenile fluke, we had 'em on the inside today from 4" to 28" . Multiple double headers, must've landed 150 fish to get 4 keepers. Bodes well for our future

    Anyone Fluking ?

    The season in Jersey doesn't open until 22-May, but I've been doing well at many back bay spots, keeping socially distant of course ! Hooked up nearly every cast this morning - they were slamming spearing but white gulp worked too. How's the action in NY ? It appears that little offshore...

    Spiral wrapped rods

    FYI - - If you are going to use a lefty reel make sure the transition guides are on the right. If you are going to use a levelwind, then it doesnt matter. With a spiral wrap the line is going to pile up on the side of the spool where the transition guides are. If you have to level the...

    Fluke Jigs- "Hook Refinements?"

    Lep - - do you use a teaser above the jig ? At the advice of Buddha, I've (mostly) eliminated it and find my hook-up ratio has improved. Without the teaser you are forced to really work the jig, not just drag the jig and work the teaser. Less is more (thanks Roger!).
