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

    We experienced similar Nantucket bite 2 weeks ago. My buddy and I were throwing back 17-18"ers (Mass. minimum size reg is only 17") and captain told us that's all they've been catching since an epic June doormat bite. Limits were easy pickins but pool fish was only 6 lbs. Codfishing the next...

    Jersey Fluking has improved recently. Rather than battle the crowds at the reefs and the rocks, today we discovered some new spots off by ourselves. Looks like some new skinny fluke have arrived with empty stomachs. But was fortunate to get this fatty after releasing 100+ shorts for us 3...

    Foggy fluke!

    Question for Whalehead and everyone else: do you use dropper loops on your chicken rigs? Last year I lost the fluke of a lifetime when the dropper loop failed where it touches the eye of the hook. I surmise that violent head shakes against the eye of the hook frayed the loop. This would be...

    How is your early season fluke fishing so far

    Here in NJ our season opens tomorrow 5/22. My pre-season scouting trips were all shore-based and successful. The water is Crystal clear and you can actually see the fluke attack your bait in 15' water. Nothing more exciting when a brown blob hovers over your jig then jumps on it !!

    2021 Fishing Ambitions

    Recently retired and now C19 vaccinated I am eager to fish frequently in 2021. That means more shore fishing and freshwater too. My BFF sold his business but not his Parker, so I'm hoping to join him often this year. I've already booked several charters from Jersey to New England, from Flukin...

    "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...

    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...
