For fluke, I agree with Saltheart 100%. Fluke are pretty agressive fish on their own, but to really target them, you gotta keep your bait moving. If you are fishing still water like a back bay, use a fluke bullet. Tip the end with squid. If you are fishing an area with strong current, it's even easier. Use a fishfinder rig with a strip of squid. Use a bank sinker that is heavy enough to hit bottom but light enough to slowly bounce along with the current. Once you hit the end of the drift, reel up, and do it again.
My suggestion is to use Fireline. I put it on my fluking rod and I fell in love with it. Fluke aren't known for running with the bait so with mono, as soon as you felt like you were hung up, you would set the hook. Sometimes it was a fish, sometimes you had a stick at the end of the line. With Fireline, I can tell the difference between a stick and a fluke. You will also know what type of bottom you are fishing. The stuff is that sensitive.
