Fluke masters...
...I have a question for ya. Well, maybe a couple.
First - I'm looking to make some fluke rigs myself, and I'm looking for some recommendations from you fluke pros. I'll be doing most of my fluke fishing off the mouth of the Bass River in about 15-30 of water. I generally use a 3-4 oz. bucktail to hold bottom, and I tip it with a squid strip or live mummichog if I trapped some. I usually use a rig with a snap to the bucktail, a dropper loop about 18'' above the snap with an unweighted bucktail skirt tipped with either the squid or mummichog. I tie this all with 20 lb. flourocarbon. I almost always use white.
Does this sound appropriate or should I add in some beads and spinners? If I should, what colors and combos are good?
Second - When is the best fluke bite normally? I've had my best luck from first light through about 10 AM. However, I've also found good fish mid afternoon and at dusk.
I really want a trophy fluke as I lost one that was 10+ boatside last year. I need the doormat.
