Well I have been asked what my technique is for Fluke. Well it is not anything anyone else is doing! I use a St.Croix F70M-BK that I coustom made my self. Then I use a braided line like Spiderwire, I tie this to a 3 way with a duo lock for the sinker and then a 28 to 36 inch leader of floro 30# leader.
This is the basic rig but there are some things that change with the tides and other veriables. On a nice reagular day I will use weight up to 6 oz to hold bottom other days or deeper water I may have to go to 10 oz.
On a nice day I like to use bait 6" long or maybe a little more. But when the tide is moving fast I like to shorten up the leader and the bait. the bait being as short as 3" or 4 " This is to get the fish to come up onto the bait in a fast tide. with a long bait they tend to nip at the end of the bait and miss the hook all toghter.
I have a 7 foot Ugly stick med acation spin out fit that i use a 4/0 circle hook on for dead sticking. This has caught me a ton of fish!. I hold the conventional set up in hand with a 3/0 wide gap SS hook.
As for bait, I use Squid to get me started, then I start using Fluke strips, belly or backs or a combanation work great!! I bring some home after a day of fishing and start the next day with them. But when I am off for 3 days I will start with the squid again, till I get some fresh fluke bait.
There you go in a nut shell!! I hope this helps those that need it! I am not a very good righter or speller so I hope it is good anough to understand.
O yea it would help if you new were the fish were! They are ..........
See Ya Maco Joe
