Fluke
While fluke aren't the first species that comes to mind when you think of Maine, targeting them around Seal Harbor can be a rewarding experience, especially if you adjust your tactics to the local environment. Focus your efforts in the shallow, sandy-bottomed areas near the mouths of the many small coves and inlets around Mount Desert Island. These areas warm up quicker in the summer, attracting the baitfish that fluke love. The best time to target fluke here is from mid-summer to early fall, when the water temperatures are at their peak. Try drifting with live mummichogs or sand eels on a fluke rig. A key tip is to pay close attention to the tidal currents. Fluke will often be lying in wait on the down-current side of sandbars or other structure. The local fluke population tends to be smaller than those found further south, so downsizing your presentation can be effective.
