I like fresh local squid but I have to say the fluke belly stays on better. I go thru my bait fast so if does not bother me to change often...I like it fresh.
Try a basic fluke 3 way rig but instead of a sinker use a silver bullet with a strip bait.
Also try a SW fly as a teaser. You would be amazed what hits this!
Fluke tend to like gaudy flashy rigs at times too. Somtime large blade spinners seem to be what they want...other times just your most basic of rigs with a simple bucktail hair on a hook.
Fluke can be aggressive feeders too. I have caught them while trolling for bonito...they hit a minnow type lure.
Don't rule out bouncing a bucktail off the bottom. (use braid line for this!!) Many of the giants are taken with a bucktail.
All in all IMO fluke are a great fish. I love fishing for them (very stress free), its fun for kids and you can catch a really grand fish that tastes better then most of the fish in the sea IMO.
There is no magic to this. Everyone has there own tricks up their sleeve. They like drop offs and holes so seek them out and drift your bait *along the bottom* and you should catch some sweet fish. (also seabass and giant scup)
