Fluke
If you're planning a summer Fluke trip near Dennis Port, Massachusetts, you're in for a treat. This area, nestled on Cape Cod, benefits from the seasonal influx of baitfish into Nantucket Sound and the surrounding waters. The key is to follow the forage. As the water warms, Fluke move into shallower areas to feed on sand eels, squid, and small crustaceans. Drifting with live bait or bucktails tipped with Gulp! is highly effective. Pay close attention to water temperature; Fluke prefer water between 60 and 70 degrees. The best time is typically June through September. A local tip: try drifting along the edges of the shoals and channels in Nantucket Sound. The current can be strong, so be sure to adjust your weight accordingly to maintain bottom contact. Also, the Bass River is a popular access point with a well-maintained boat ramp. Remember that fluke regulations can change frequently, so check the current Massachusetts Marine Fisheries regulations before heading out.
