Not hard to catch, just find a rip, drift through with bait/bucktail/curlyworm, jig a little and viola! Not too hard. Perhaps as there are none on the North Shore, they might be tough to catch, south of the Cape, they almost blanket the bottom in season.
Anything of value to add MH? |

Tuna has been a hit or miss story in this neck of the woods in the area you mentioned. If you want to run a few hours then its more hit than miss but if they show up in RI sound and the mouth of BB and Vineyard Sound is anyones guess. I have my fingers crossed. The good news is if they show...you should be able to target them on light spin gear or jigging. I only troll a spread when I run offshore.
As for fluke and other tasty bottom dwellers: This should not present a problem and is the mainstay of the boat fisherman here all summer. Bucktails with a strip of bait in deep water using braid should get the job done. You may need to stem the tide a little if it is running hard. If you put in a little time you will crack the code to the haunts of the mighty doormat running in the range of 8-14#

This is for the Vineyard were I fish.Fluke any time from mid June thur July is the best!! Strip of Squid for your first fish, then use fresh Fluke strips for bait, Go deep for large.
Sea Bass is the same time frame and will bite the same squid baits. Fish oyster beds, rocks, wrecks, and you be good to go. Big ones are deep.
Ma. Regs are:
Fluke: 17 1/2" and 5 fish each person, If you are in the right spot you can catch that in 1/2 hour.
Sea Bass: 12" 20 fish a day each
Good Luck!!

Maco...are those the fluke regs for 08? Did they make any changes from 07? I have been keeping my eyes peeled but they seem to be making no changes. I heard all the states would be making some adjustments
Frankly I wish they would extend the season thru Sept and up the size to 20"
