Fluking from shore?

[wader-dad]

John Skinner has a you tube video - catching fluke from shore. Y9u should watch that- I think he even shows catching a 5 pound fluke from shore.

I actually own his 2 books that talk very briefly about it and have seen the video but unfortunately he doesn't go that far into detail since he has a kayak and a boat from which he mainly flukes from. Only August and early September were mentioned but that was about it.

Water temps or ocean conditions weren't really touched upon unlike Stripers so that's why I ask you fine gents.

To Got Stripers:


I always use a net when flounder or fluke fishing. Had a 4 lb. fluke on in BB on an 18 foot boat recently, got him to the boat, and he got off....so I scooped him up with the net and got him in anyway.

For kayak fishing, a big enough trout net will work fine for most flounder or fluke, and won't get in your way. Used one a couple of weeks ago to scoop up a nice yellow tail flounder in my yak. You can get one at WalMart for around $6-7.
