Fluke
Chasing Fluke, or summer flounder, near Old Orchard Beach requires understanding their migratory patterns and preferred habitat. These fish move into the area as the water warms, with the best fishing typically occurring from late spring through summer. Focus your efforts on sandy bottom areas near inlets and estuaries where Fluke ambush prey. Drifting with a bucktail jig tipped with a Berkley Gulp! Swimming Mullet is a highly effective method. Pay close attention to your drift speed; Fluke prefer a slow, natural presentation. Don't be afraid to experiment with different colors and jig weights to find what the fish are keying on. The Saco River estuary is a productive area, but be aware of strong currents and boat traffic. A local tip: look for areas where the bottom composition changes, such as where sand meets mud or gravel, as these transition zones often hold Fluke.
