Fluke
Targeting fluke, or summer flounder, near Bar Harbor requires a bit of adaptation from typical southern strategies. While not as abundant as further south, fluke can be found in the sandy-bottomed areas of Frenchman Bay and along the edges of channels. The best time is during the warmer months, from late June through August, when water temperatures are at their peak. Focus on areas with some current, as this helps to distribute scent and attract fish. A standard fluke rig with a bucktail jig tipped with squid or a Gulp! swimming mullet is a good starting point. Drifting is the most effective technique, allowing you to cover ground and locate pockets of fish. A local tip: try adding a teaser hook above your main jig with a small piece of clam or worm for added attraction. Be prepared for some smaller fish, but persistence can pay off with a keeper.
