Seasonal Activity Chart
Fluke
Chasing fluke, or summer flounder, around York Harbor requires understanding the local tides and bottom structure. Unlike deeper offshore fluke fisheries, here you'll want to concentrate on the sandy or muddy bottom areas adjacent to the harbor's channel and the mouths of the York River and other tidal creeks. The best time is typically from mid-summer to early fall when the water temperatures are warmest. Drifting with bucktails tipped with squid or Gulp! artificials is a productive method. A local tip is to pay close attention to the clarity of the water. If the water is murky after a rain, fluke fishing will be slow. Incoming tides often bring in clearer water and better fishing. The fluke in this area can be surprisingly large, so be prepared for a good fight!
