1. The Bucktail: This truly is my all-time preferred artificial lure. I prefer white or lime-green colors in or 1 oz. size. Ball head style is fine but a sharp nosed bullet design will function nicely in fast moving water. I trim the bucktail to just behind the hook. I usually fish it tipped-off with a brief strip of pork rind having a split tail. White pork rind or green appears to function best. I function the bucktail along the bottom with a fairly slow jigging stroke. I lift the tip of the rod about two feet and slowly let the lure settle back towards the bottom, by no means letting slack create within the line. I let it lay on the bottom for a fraction of a second following which start the cycle again. The strike will always come on the drop or as the lure sits on the bottom. I'm usually prepared to strike the fish aggressively. Sharp hooks are a should.
2. The Silver Bullet: This new lure was created a couple of years ago and has earned a place of distinction as a very productive artificial. Essentially it's a chrome plated ball getting a completely free swinging bucktail or feather adorned hook. The ball and hook are accessible in many sizes to suite fishing requirements. I especially like this feature. If I must fish deep water or quick present I would have to use a big bucktail, the larger bucktails however have hooks that are too large for fluke. I can get a 3 oz. "Silver-Bullet" getting a 2/0 hook that is perfect for fluke. A three oz. bucktail might be manufactured getting a 4/0 to 6/0 size hook, a lot too big for the typical fluke. When purchasing tackle please be conscious of imitations. When a lure becomes well-liked, it by no indicates fails that some "opportunist" will try to copy the original and take advantage of the market. Maintain in thoughts that a great deal of study goes into the style with the "original" and copies most frequently do not function also. I recommend sticking with the actual element. I function the "Silver-Bullet" in a lot precisely exactly the same way because the bucktail. Nevertheless, I've discovered that this lure will catch fish if it's just dragged along the bottom or merely worked with a twitching action with the rod, a great deal shorter strokes than using the bucktail. Just like the bucktail, it'll catch any other type of fish inside the neighborhood. Bass blues and weakfish can't resist it.
3. Teaser Rig: The addition of a bucktail, mylar or feathered "teaser" hook above the primary lure began with the surf crowd a couple of years back. This "teaser" is usually tied on a brief leader about a foot above whatever lure, jig or plug is being utilized. Fluke fishermen have found that it adds additional attraction towards the primary providing. On some occasions it'll out-fish the primary lure. I prefer the easy bucktail variety in white, black/white or olive/white colors. I use a bit three-way swivel or perhaps a "Bear Paw" plastic connector to attach the "teaser" on a one foot leader slightly much more than a foot above my sinker or jig. Some prefer the "teaser" on a long leader trailing behind a bucktail. This kind rig is marketed as the "Terminator." When the lure is worked along the bottom, the teaser flutters with an enticing irregular motion above or behind the primary bait or jig. It is a actual attention-getter. I've caught fluke on the "teaser" which indicates they'll come off the bottom a great distance if they are teased sufficient. The only issue I have had with this rig is catching two fish at the same time. When this occurs they fight against each other and usually 1 or both are lost. I've also had two great size bass hooked at the same time and they truly broke the line in in between the jig and "teaser." I guess worse problems could happen?
4. Slow Trolling the Slack Side (Great for fishing on a Long Island Party Boat: When drifting for fluke, slack water indicates no action. Merely because there's no movement, the region covered is reduced to completely nothing and so is the fishing. Crabs usually take more than throughout slack and try to wipe out your bait provide. During this time I generally revert to slow-trolling. I like to fish a squid/spearing combination and prefer a chrome spinner blade or "Spin-n-Glow" in front with the hook. I enhance the sinker weight to about 6 oz.. I put the boat in gear and drop back the line about 75 feet and set the rod inside the rod-holder. I then function the boat in and out of gear just sufficient to maintain slow forward motion and nonetheless have the sinker bouncing along the bottom. While performing this I watch the rod tip. When the tip indicated a bite, I take the boat out of gear, pick up the rod, drop the tip to let the fish get on the bait, and strike the fish. This technique can produce great fishing throughout what would otherwise be wasted time.
5. Chumming For Fluke: This technique dates back so long as I can keep in mind but is practiced by couple of. It can be extremely productive even in occasions of lean fishing. It'll also function nicely when the water is churned or murky because of algae blooms. I anchor up in a promising region, preferably a distance away from all the boat visitors. I set a chum pot loaded with ground bunker on the bottom or just slightly above the bottom. A moving tide is truly a should because it'll carry the chum back from the boat and act as an attractant to any fluke within the region. I then fish behind the chum pot with all-natural baits, reside baits or jigs. I like to fish a reside killie about a foot above the sinker on a three foot leader on a "dead stick" which is a rod within the rod-holder. I then work a second rod and bounce a bucktail or other artificial by dropping it just behind the chum pot and bouncing it along the bottom as I "walk" it back using the tide. If the "dead stick" gets a hit, I can rapidly grab the rod and set the hook. This technique has produced superb catches even under probably probably the most adverse conditions and often bluefish weakfish and bass are caught within the procedure. It is kind of laid back and is an superb option when fishing with little kids. Children like plenty of action and this technique will generally offer action.
