Fluke
If you're looking for Fluke, also known as Summer Flounder, near York, Maine, focus your efforts on sandy or muddy bottom areas with subtle structure or depth changes. These fish are ambush predators and lie in wait for unsuspecting prey. The best time to target Fluke is during the summer months when the water temperatures are warmer. Drifting with live bait, such as sand eels or small fish, is a popular and effective technique. A helpful tip is to use a fluke rig with a spinner blade or colorful beads to attract attention. Focus your efforts around areas like the mouth of the York River or near sandy shoals just offshore. The Fluke population in this area offers a good mix of sizes, and patient anglers can often be rewarded with a tasty meal. Keep an eye on the tide, as Fluke often move with the current.
