A cool video on fluke fishing. My son and I use the same fishing technique for bucktail fishing except we're on different structure than the sandy bottom John Skinner (video narrator) is fishing.

 

So for 2025 I will be looking for more sandy bottom areas with narrow contours (as I usually look for) to give fluke and other sandy bottom species (haddock) in the coming season.

 

 

John Skinner is the god of bucktails, and one of the all time greats of surf fishing, if not the GOAT. Not sure where you are located, but the coast here in Jersey is very fruitful for both species. And we have that sandy bottom you are looking for, unless you go out to the reefs and wrecks. My only experience with fluke is surfcasting, but here we usually use basically the same setup as John; white bucktail (usually about 3/4oz depending on conditions), with a baitholder hook a foot or two above on a dropper loop/Paternoster, each loaded with a white Gulp! Alive Swimming Mullet in 3-4".
