Re: Fluke Season - This year compared to last year...
Definitely a different year and not for the better and have heard the same sentiments echoed from many fluke anglers. This year the bite appeared very different as fluke would consistently grab the tail or teaser, hang on it but when you swung the fish wasn't there. Had that happen time after time, maybe that's because they weren't seeing it because of consistently bad water quality or colder temp. I know a few divers who said the wrecks they dove were loaded with fluke but you could literally grab the fluke with your hands because they were so lethargic with the colder temps. Inconsistent I think is how I would categorize '15 and overall off from last year. Nothing imo which should warrant another significant drop in recreational quotas.
