The thing with Fluke (or any other fish).
Well, I have been looking at a lot of reports since the beginning of Fluke Season. It seems that the most successful men have been doing what they are supposed to do, looking for the right water temperatures at the right places at the right times. I am confined to mostly fishing from the beach and shore spots where their is Shallow water, so I am mostly exposed to smaller keepers. But, I look up the water temperature for the day of or the following day and find where that cooler water is, and I always find keepers (17.5-19" usually) wherever I go (if I m efficient with my time).
Well, it seems most of the people who have the ability to go far to find big fish and a lot of them seem to go to some of their spots, ignoring the water temperature. Water temperature is the most prioritized factor when finding fish and the certain life you want.'Once you have the right temperature, then take the other biological weather factors into the ball game. Long story short, why don't people look at the water temperature more often? Plan your day to come. If the lack of resources is a problem, use the link to the Stevens institute of Technology on the fishing tips message board to find the predicted water temperatures for the day of and the day after, as well as the other biological factors. If the lack of consideration for the water temp is the true reason why you are not catching what you should, please say so. if it is not, i will delete the post. If someone wants me to make a poll, please inform me too. Generally, many fishermen take nature fiercely and firstly into account, but many still do not. No day out in nature is perfect, but fishermen can get as close to perfect when they put some consideration and interest into nature simply. SNAPPERHEAD

Re: The thing with Fluke.
Nice post, water temp is number one no matter what the species , be it fresh or salt.

Re: The thing with Fluke.
Snapperblue makes a good point. Water temps play a large roll, and the wind has a huge effect on water temps, usually This time of year constant or extended periods of west winds usually result in a steady bite. In the other thread gerry made an observation that the water was dirty further off shore, hence the winds play a large roll in water clarity but this is nothing new to many who try to pick their days based on prior , present and forcasted weather conditions, but then again many of us only have the option of sat or sunday.

Re: The thing with Fluke.
Water temp is important, it's true, but a lot(most) gotta work and have to be weekend warriors...water temp is important offshore also.....

yeah, but they head to the same exact bottom structures every day (as posted many times on this site in reports!) and then look around if they aren't holding fish. how many times have we read, "headed back to where we fished yesterday and it was fish on immediately!" you know the temp isn't exactly the same from day to day with wind and current shifts. i tend to believe fluke are around certain types of bottoms or structures more than a temperature line in the water.
