Fluke
Fluke, or summer flounder, provide a fun and tasty fishing opportunity in the waters surrounding Kennebunkport. These flatfish are ambush predators, lying in wait on sandy or muddy bottoms near structure. Focus your efforts in the estuaries and bays, as well as along the nearshore coastline. The season typically peaks in the summer months, when water temperatures are warmer. Drifting with a bucktail jig tipped with a strip of squid or fluke belly is a productive method. Pay attention to the drift speed and adjust your weight to maintain bottom contact. Local tip: Many anglers find success drifting along the edges of channels and sandbars. Another effective technique is slow-trolling with a live bait, such as a peanut bunker or sand eel. Remember to use circle hooks to improve hook-up ratios and practice catch-and-release to help maintain a healthy fluke population.
