Fluke
Fluke, also known as summer flounder, are a popular target around Peaks Island, Maine, offering exciting light-tackle action. The relatively shallow, sandy bottom of Casco Bay provides ideal habitat. The best time to target fluke here is during the warmer months, from late spring through early fall, when the water temperature rises. These fish are ambush predators, so focus on areas with structure or changes in depth. Drifting with a bucktail jig tipped with a strip of squid or a gulp bait is a highly effective method. Keep your presentation moving and be prepared to set the hook quickly, as fluke are notorious for subtle takes. A local tip: try fishing near the edges of the shipping channels, as these areas often hold larger fluke. Be mindful of boat traffic, and always check local regulations regarding size and bag limits.
