faithless Posted March 22, 2022 Report Share Posted March 22, 2022 I target and catch them every year from surf. nicknotsebastian 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikez2 Posted March 22, 2022 Report Share Posted March 22, 2022 (edited) Timely question. A couple of my boys are interested in targeting fluke from shore, specifically to eat so keepers are the key. I'm telling them don't bother but they want to make it a project.  Seems like only a few years ago, although could be more, that we were getting fluke from RI jetties as by catch while striper fishing. I personally haven't seen one in a few years at least. Edited March 22, 2022 by mikez2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrJingles Posted March 22, 2022 Report Share Posted March 22, 2022 Last season, but not targetting. I'm also making the exact same thing my project this year and have done a bunch of research...check out buddha's "proven method-shore fluke" thread. I don't know how likely it is to catch keepers from shore in MA, but im certainly going to spend a majority of my time targeting them.

bdowning Posted March 23, 2022 Report Share Posted March 23, 2022 (edited) Do rivers count as "surf"? I dont even target them and caught several in a row one night in ri on swim shads. This was 1 or 2 seasons ago.  Addendum: one was a keeper, another right on the line. Edited March 23, 2022 by bdowning Pfantum Pfishah Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeMc Posted March 23, 2022 Report Share Posted March 23, 2022 Last summer. They taste better than boat fish, too.  Not in Mass, though PatchyFog 1 You know it must be a penguin bound down if you hear that terrible screaming and there ain't no other birds around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard_the_Aughth Posted March 23, 2022 Author Report Share Posted March 23, 2022 Yea I should have clarified what I was looking for. Â When was the last time you caught a fluke from shore in Mass? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I assumed it was the main. Carry on.  You know it must be a penguin bound down if you hear that terrible screaming and there ain't no other birds around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrJingles Posted March 23, 2022 Report Share Posted March 23, 2022 I'm thinking that there are a lot of opportunities to catch them on south facing beaches in MA, they just aren't regularly targeted because people think it's next to impossible...It would obviously be easier from a boat, but a lot of the fishing I do isn't necessarily because it's "easy"...I prefer the challenge and find it much more rewarding to catch in a way or from a place that not many people do...I'm not hard up to get meat every time I go out fishing/hunting, for me it's a hobby and any meat gained is a secondary benefit.
