I went last year in Hyannis and it was a blast. 6 of us caught approx 500 lbs Ina day. We went with Capt Dom on Coastal Charters. I think we are going again this year. Lot of fun

Squid are not mullosks, they're cephalopods. But whatever you wand to call them they're delicious. "Philly tube steaks"

Don't forget our sponsor in montauk the miss montauk. New boat this year and fantastic fluking on the south side.

I have been on the Bad Influence with Capt. Jeff a few times. We have had phenomenal trips with him! Have two trips for squid with him in May. No limit on squid.

I have enjoyed great fluke fishing off Nantucket ( on the same non-sponsor 2 day trip mentioned) for several years. We usually get a nice side catch of knucklehead sea bass up there as well. and in the interest of full disclosure, the currents on the Shoals can be fierce and we were using 20oz and over of lead to hold bottom at one point( also some monster dogfish in the catch at times ).
A high/low 1/2 oz bucktail rig with a sinker loop on the bottom is deadly off Nantucket. But folks were catching them on just about any rig. The structure in the Shoals is not sticky ( mainly mussel beds I believe) at least where we have fished. I don't remember losing any tackle to bottom structure.
And yes half or more of the anglers on board are from Jersey! One of them caught one over 15 pounds on our trip.

Yes, was looking at a popcorn rig with 2 1/2 bucktails tipped with whole squids or berkley grubs with a surgeon's loop at the bottom with the heavy lead like you mentioned. Definitely something new from Jersey fluke! By the sound of it, looks like I'll have to wait until next year to make this trip, but definitely looking forward to doing it at some point.

That is also known as a chicken rig
