What OTH said.
3ft or so.
don't overlook circle hooks on a deadstick as well. |

I like circle hooks for Fluke.
Alot of people tend to shy away from them though.
I believe for beginners they are better than any other hooks.
Not much of a hook set needed.
IMO

I've tried circlehooks for fluke and never had any luck. I always did best with a classis long shank fluke hook. I think it presents the bait best too. IMO

Circle hooks are great for Dead sticking!! Use them all the time! 7 ft Ugly stick med action, they hook them selfs!! some times better then we do!!
The thing with the circles you can not set the hook! Thats why dead sticking so good.

knots?
I tied up a bunch of my own rigs over the winter which consisted of a three-way swivel with a bucktail off one and a long (3 ft) trailer with a squid body off the other. The part I'm having trouble with is the short length to the bucktail. Do you guys tie these direct to the bucktail while you're out on the water or do you tie to a snapswivel ahead of time? I can't figure out a good system that allows me to change out the bucktail easily as the current / wind / depth change.
Thanks,
"Lou"

Damn Joe. My wife is going out of town this week and I have to work days all week, and watch daughter after school. I can't win, but it is still early so please keep me in the loop. Thanks for the offer.

Just an fyi, those 9" tsunami squid bodies work just fine....
my son is 5 years old and the fluke is 9#.
big bait = big fish, even for little fishermen

Great great photo!
Slow pick last weekend. Found a small pod right at the end of the day...
fair number of 18-19" 'shorts'
One nice fish, literally pounced on it as I was reeling up to head for the dock... stayed for another 45min. more small fish... oh well.
This fish had those nice photogenic colors...
just a skosh under 7, and damn tasty!

My largest was over 6# and Wendy's was just short of 5#

Took my sister out this past week. No monsters. 6.5, 6, and two 5.5s. everything under 20" goes back, we had a handfull of shorts. I thought it was slow but we had a weird drift with the wind against the tide which I don't like for fluke. Toss in a few bluefish, dogfish scup and seabass and you get the vineyard sound mixed bag. Hope to get out a couple times this weekend for them.

Hmm...Expert, no one has ever called me that before?? I do it commercial and we keep 14" and up. I have got some nice size this year(7# the biggest) but most are recreational shorts.
That said I have sold about 700 pounds so far this year, its been slow? But I do it only cause I love the water, and love fishing and at $4+ for gas I am making nothing!!
Between gas, oil, gas for truck I just make paying for the day including lunch, and thats fine by me!!
I can go most Tue, Wed, Thur depending on he weather. If you want to go just bring your own gear, drink, food. If we get 100 pounds that will pay for the day. And you get some fish to go home.
If we don't get at least 100 pounds then we split all the fish and passengers split the cost of the day.

I have a convenctional setup for fluke. i use a 30# fluro leader tied directly to my 30# powerpro. make a large loop on the end and a long dropper loop above the bottom like 20 inches. i use plastic shads like 3 inches such as tsunami holographic models 9my fave) and spro jigs (chart, white, silver n white). havent tried a pink one. it works for me. i jsut wnet out once. i think that i need more fixes on it. man, i need someone to take me on a fluke fishing trip. i need white meat fillets for fish n chip.
