BUCKTAILING BIG FLUKE ( SUMMER FLOUNDER )

Here are a few tips we have developed to catch Big Fluke with Bucktails. Everyone in NJ and surrounding states has been facing greater size restrictions on Fluke year after year and although there is no lack of catching, putting keepers in the box has become a much harder task. Personally i have been bucktailing for fluke for along time but i have definitely seen the method gain more popularity of the last 5 years on Private, Charter, and Party Boats. We run special deeper water Bucktail trips for fluke and the trips have been a great success the last few years.Fluking itself as well as the tackle that is available has changed alot over the years. We always receive questions from anglers looking to take up the bucktail method for the time. Here are some of the new methods we have learned over the last few years. Bucktail Selection, Line, Lures, Stinger Hooks, Teasers, Depth and Technique are a few of the tips I will cover.

That was a very interesting article. I never thought to try mackerel strips. But when you think about it, it makes sense with the color pattern and all of the mack, also the skin is nice and tough. I can't wait to try some.

Loved the article, just have sort of a silly question.  I haven't ventured out to waters that deep before in my boat and would be a little reluctant.  Are there locations (without giving up secret spots of course) where one would say it's safe to roll out in a 21' Wellcraft V20, or am I pretty much confined to what I find in the bay?  I've only got about 2' of freeboard in the stern.
