I fish em from the beach in the middle of hot beach day. bucktails with squid strips or small broken back bombers and do a lot of walking the beach. Fluke are very territorial so standing in one spot is not very productive. Best to go to where an estuary flows out into a bowl. A gravelly beach is my preference. Bring a small cooler with ice for the squid and those delicious fluke you catch. 18.5 inch minimum in MA.
find a spot where there is a deeper water channel that runs near shore a light gravel or sandy bottom is best. use a bucktail and bounce it along the bottom. Out by you TBD try the shinnicock canal when the locks are just closing or closed.

I'M going to ask a dumb question. I heard this term back when the weakfish were around. What does it mean when the "locks are closed"? Sorry, I'M a newb....

Never a dumb question Rob. in the canal there is a set of locks that open and close to allow water to flow from shinnincock bay to peconic bay. It also allows boats safe passage thru. when the locks are open there is alot of current. too much to fish at times thats why its better when the locks are closed. you can get info right from the canal keepers themselves. call info to get their number. I do not have it at this times but will try to get you more info.
