Listen "EP 39: Stalking the Shoreline: Late Summer Tactics with Bayside Dave"
Episode Synopsis
Send us a textLate summer fluke fishing offers unique challenges and opportunities as water temperatures rise and fish begin transitioning from bays to inlets. With the right approach, anglers can still enjoy productive fishing despite changing conditions.• Understanding beach structure is critical - focus on troughs between beach and sandbars rather than deep holes• Lighter tackle outperforms heavy gear in the surf - 7' medium rods with 3000-series reels and 15lb braid• Use lighter bucktails (3/8-3/4oz) with ball heads that won't dig into sand• 75% of fluke strikes come on teasers positioned 18" above the bucktail or sinker• Consider fishing at night when water is cooler and fish feed more aggressively• Don't hesitate to use large baits - fluke will attack surprisingly large offerings• Fish current seams and breaks around jetties where fish hold to avoid fighting strong flow• Scented baits and clean hands make a difference - nicotine and gasoline are known fish deterrents• Inlets are becoming increasingly productive as fluke begin their offshore migration• Safety on jetties should be your priority - wear proper footwear and watch for wavesIf you enjoy the show, please make sure to follow, leave a review, and share with fellow anglers.
