Fluke
Fluke, or summer flounder, fishing near Rockland, Maine, offers a fun and rewarding experience during the warmer months. These flatfish migrate into Penobscot Bay as water temperatures rise, typically from late spring through early fall. Focus your efforts on sandy or muddy bottom areas near channels and inlets. Drifting with a fluke rig baited with squid, sand eels, or fluke belly is a highly effective technique. Adding a spinner blade or colorful beads to your rig can also attract attention. Pay close attention to the tide, as fluke tend to be more active during moving water. A local tip: try drifting along the edges of the shipping channel for increased success. Public access to the bay is excellent from the Rockland Breakwater, offering both shore and boat fishing opportunities. Remember to check local regulations regarding size and bag limits.
