Fluke
If you're looking to target fluke around Portsmouth, NH, you'll want to pay close attention to the Piscataqua River and the areas where it meets the Atlantic. These fish move in and out with the tides and follow the bait. The best time to target fluke here is during the warmer months, from late June through September, when the water temperatures are ideal. They prefer sandy or muddy bottoms, so look for those types of areas on your sonar. A local tip is to focus on areas near the naval shipyard; the structure there often holds fluke. Also, be aware that the currents can be strong in the Piscataqua, so use heavier weights to keep your bait on the bottom. Fluke in this area are known to be aggressive, so don't be afraid to use larger baits.
