Don't want to resurrect this thread but I did learn some things that might help other anglers:
The calmer the water, the better. If the water has moderate to strong rips, or the waves are over 3 feet, or if people are splashing all around, Fluke won't be there and are in deeper water.
With my polarized sunglasses, I saw 2 fluke chasing after my bucktail and teaser but in came a 3 foot wave and they immediately gave up and went to deeper water.
3/4 oz. SPRO bucktails are too big! The hooks are bigger and the profile is very large, the 1/2 oz SPRO work great though.
3/4 oz. Andrus ripsplitter have very large profiles too, the S and S bucktails seem to be better at having a smaller profile with the higher weight but if you are using Gulp Minnows, the minnow won't fit because of the damn rattle.
I don't go crazy with colors, but Shades of Green and White or Chartreuse and White are killer for Fluke. They really love going after mantis shrimp, sand eels, and spearing...
Honestly, you don't have to cast that far either since they sit at the beach lip or under the breakers. If they are there, you will get hit within a few casts.
Anyone else have anything to add give a shout!
