No fluke?

We did very well at middle ground two weeks ago. The current was ripping and we were drifting from the shallows into the deeper water towards woods hole. The drift was only a two hundred yards and then had to reset, we picked up fluke on every drift for three hours.

Generally during this time of the year when searching out large fluke we head out to the deeper waters where we need to use 10 to 12 ounces to keep it on the bottom as we drift along with the current . Working the edges of the deeper drop offs has its rewards and look for the trawl lines as a place to start. Just do not drift across them :D Then again small jigs, with big strips, dragged along the bottom also has its rewards. but that takes a little practice on covering the bottom you choose to fish on and a whole lot of line on the reel.

On last Thursday I had a group of people and we went to Lucas, Robinsons and Quicks for nothing!

I later heard from a friend that spends a lot of time there that the draggers wiped the place clean a couple of days earlier!

Since then I've fished close to Westport around Gooseberry and I have been finding limits of fluke there for my customers. The trick is finding a good drift and then repeating it as many times as time allows......JC

Got a lot of shorts and a three legal fish on Sunday. Worked very hard for not much.

one thing that increased the bite substantially was when we added bluefish belly strips to our rigs.

couldn't get any snapper blues that day so we started with squid strips...did ok. As soon as we switched to bellies the hookups were much more consistent. Of course by then, we were losing the tide and the wind was pushing us against it. Made the drift difficult
