Fluke
Chasing fluke around Cliff Island, Maine, means understanding the nuances of Casco Bay. This area offers a unique mix of rocky structure, sandy bottom, and strong currents that create ideal ambush points for fluke. Prime time is definitely summer, from late June through September, when water temperatures are warmest and fluke are actively feeding. Focus on areas with good tidal flow, especially near the ledges and drop-offs surrounding the island. A key local tip: pay close attention to what the fluke are feeding on. Sand eels are a staple, so mimicking them with slender soft plastics or bucktails is often productive. Also, be aware of the regulations regarding size and bag limits, as they can change frequently. Don't be afraid to experiment with different jigging techniques to find what triggers the bite on any given day.
