Fluke
Targeting fluke (summer flounder) around Ocean Bluff, Massachusetts, demands attention to the shifting inshore waters. This area benefits from its proximity to both open ocean and the more protected waters of Massachusetts Bay, creating diverse fluke habitats. Look for fluke around structure like rocky outcroppings and sandy drop-offs, especially where currents converge, bringing in forage. The best time is typically late spring through early fall, as water temperatures rise. A key local tip: Pay close attention to the tides. Fluke often move with the tide to feed, so understanding tidal flows is crucial. Access to productive areas is available from several public boat ramps along the coast, but be aware that parking can be limited, especially on weekends. Locally, fluke respond well to bucktails tipped with Gulp! artificials or natural baits like squid and sand eels. Be prepared to adjust your presentation based on water clarity and current strength to entice these flatfish.
