Fluke
Chasing fluke, or summer flounder, in the waters surrounding Boothbay Harbor can be a rewarding experience. The key is to find sandy or muddy bottom areas with a bit of current. These flatfish are ambush predators, lying in wait for unsuspecting prey. The best time to target them is during the warmer months, from late spring through early fall. Drifting with a bucktail jig tipped with a strip of squid or fluke belly is a productive technique. Focus your efforts around the mouths of the rivers and bays where fluke congregate. A good starting point is the area around Damariscotta River. Remember to use a stinger hook, as fluke are notorious for nipping at the end of your bait. Pay attention to the tides and water clarity, as these factors can greatly impact fluke activity.
