Flukasaurous Fishing

[Captain Ahab]

Well the flukes are moving out offshore for the winter and this is a prime time to find them stacked up. We fished the spot all day and never left a 300 yard area of ocean.

Fished out of Indian River Inlet yesterday with two friends - we had constant action all day ending up with about 10 giant fluke and the same in keeper sea bass.

Fished the B buoy area to the lobster pots and never left all day - great trip.

Green was the hot rig of the day!

Monster Fluke about 8lbs

And check out this fluke, Fluke - the color pigmentation never completely switched!

Dang you are always out fishing! :shock:

Nice fluke! What do you use as bait?! I usually use bait as opposed the lures with the occasional exception of the Spro bucktail jig for saltwater.

 

[Captain Ahab]

We use belly strips, squid-minnow sandwiches and sardines. That day I think the squid strips where producing the best, hard to remember. Might have been bluefish belly, they work really good most days.

good job esquired! Where you fish out of? Can I get there under 5 hours? :shock:

 

[Captain Ahab]

I fish out of Milford, DE. That trip was out of Indian River Inlet.

You can get there in about one hour (by helicopter )

Mapquest says 6.5 hrs door to door so 5 hours is possible by car.
