Having grown up in the flounder capital of the world, Mar-E and I decided it's time to introduce the "Boys" to the flat fish. On the Water magazine wrote a nice story on fluke fishing out of Pt. Judith, Rhode island. So we packed a lunch, loaded the gear in the truck and headed for RI.  Galilee is where you pick up the fishing boats. They can be found adjacent to the Block Island ferry. We chose the Frances Fleet out of the different charters, due to the fact they fish off shore.  It takes about an hour and a half to get there from Boston.  Another fine take is the Helen H out of Hyannis on Cape Cod. They also have good fluke trips and you get some nice black bass too on both the boats.  Click on the links below to check them out.

Nantucket Fluke fishing

South Coast Fluke Fishing, Nantucket to Montauk July means summer flounder or fluke as they are called. Today we fished between Wood's Hole and Martha's Vineyard. We took home 16 fish and released at least that many. 3 pounds was tops today but action was steady all day and we will return soon. G-No had the biggest and Rock Bottom and Elmer each had their limit. Deb had a nice keeper, Flann had a nearsy, along with Mar-e, who also chipped in netting fish. We also caught and released some black bass and scup which kept the action going.                                                                  Billy Bob gets first taste of fluke fishing. Block Island saves the day. The bite was on for fluke in Montauk, NY. So some of the team got together to test the waters.
