Re: How Did You Catch Your Biggest Fluke?
Bluefish hook with wire line and a bunker chunk.Fishing for bass on Flynns Knoll and the bite slowed down.My father rigged up a 4-0 reel with wire so the kids could catch some blues.I took the rod let it down 17' ft and thump.Up comes a 34'' 14lb fluke.It didn't stand a chance on that rod with 40lb. ande and a wire leader.lolSame thing on Shrewsbury Rocks no current and a 14 plus on a chunk!Pure luck lol

Re: How Did You Catch Your Biggest Fluke?
Current was too strong to hold with a 6oz bucktail ( biggest i had with me) so i went old school with 8 oz sinker spearing and squid 11.2#. The rest 9#,8.5#,8.4# all on bucktails.
Just for the record. I too have seen a fluke caught trolling a stretch 25 that was hitting bottom.

Re: How Did You Catch Your Biggest Fluke?
A long time ago(1950) I was 12 using a flounder rig with squid strips...a rig back then looked like a spreader bar with bank sinker in middle and a mono leadered hook attached to either end...don't know how much it weighed but it barely fit in the net and did bend it double...sucker was huge...

Re: How Did You Catch Your Biggest Fluke?
To my surprise I found myself in this months Salt Water Magazine representing NJ in their East Coast Fluke Article. Nick Honaschefsky happened to be on the trip this past Summer and got some good pics. The fluke weighed just under 8lbs and hit the bucktail tipped with a 4" gulp swim mullet and fluke belly strip. Had one year before on bucktail jumbo killie that weighed 8.3lbs. Oh yeah almost forgot both fish were caught aboard The Gambler with Capt. Bob at the helm. Thanks Bob see you soon.
