Fluke
If you're targeting fluke around Hyannis, Massachusetts, understanding the local waters is key. Nantucket Sound and Vineyard Sound are prime spots, offering a mix of sandy bottoms and structure that fluke love. The season really kicks off in late spring as the water warms up, peaking in the summer months. Focus your efforts around areas with strong tidal currents, as these areas concentrate baitfish. A local tip: many anglers find success drifting along the edges of channels and shoals with bucktails tipped with squid or Gulp! baits. Pay close attention to your depth finder and adjust your presentation accordingly. Fluke tend to sit right on the bottom, so keep your bait in that zone. Be aware that boat traffic in Hyannis harbor can be heavy during peak season, so plan your trips for early mornings or weekdays if possible to avoid crowds.
