Seasonal Activity Chart
Fluke
Targeting fluke around Yarmouth Port means understanding the nuances of Cape Cod Bay and Nantucket Sound. These flatfish migrate inshore as water temperatures rise, making late spring through early fall the prime season. Focus your efforts on sandy or muddy bottoms near channels and inlets where baitfish congregate. Strong tidal currents are common, so be prepared to adjust your presentation; a bucktail jig tipped with squid or a Gulp! artificial bait is a local favorite. For shore access, try fishing from the beach at low tide near the mouth of the Bass River. Boat anglers will find several public ramps along the coast. Keep an eye on water clarity; fluke prefer clearer water, so areas less affected by runoff after heavy rains can be more productive. Remember, fluke are ambush predators, so a slow, deliberate retrieve is key.
