UH-OH… a dramatic decrease in fish all of a sudden. In the past few days, the ocean fishing has significantly dropped off in our area. Hard to say why and in our opinion, these fish did NOT leave, but maybe just moved. Hard to imagine that a body of fish THAT large could just up and dissapear… our first guess is that they just moved somewhere. Considering that those fish seemed to be holding on a body of Squid that was around, we would have to guess that the Squid moved and so did the Fluke. We noticed that the commercial Squid boats have moved somewhere too, so if you can find the commercials that are squid fishing you have a good chance of finding the Fluke too. Let’s see what happens in the next few days with people doing a little scouting around, someone is bound to find them!

However, the fishing in the bays seems to have stayed rather consistent with many Fluke to be caught but finding those keepers is more difficult inside. Sounds like the short to keeper ratio is around 30 or 40 to one. Some of the better reports have come from the south end of Swift Creek, and the channel the runs along the West side of Wantagh Parkway around the second bridge… pictured below inside the red circle.

Fluke Fishing Spot

If you’re going to look around in the ocean, we would still recommend using the large baits like live snappers, whole squid and large strip baits (Sea Robbin, Dog Fish bellies, Bunker or Mackerel Strips etc.). If you’re going to try jigging, try the Braid Thumper Jigs, Bucktails and Fluke Bullets… ALL with Teasers above them.

Don’t forget to bring the Gulp baits too…. they DEFINITELY WORK!!!!
