Shinnecock Bay's Skinny Water Summertime Fluke
For local anglers pursuing summertime fluke from late July through September, conventional wisdom holds that the best catches are likely to come from deeper waters near inlet mouths or in nearshore ocean waters ranging from 40- to about 60-feet deep - and possibly deeper during significant heat waves. One exception to that rule, however, is the mid-to late-summer fluke action that for several consecutive years now has developed across Shinnecock Bay’s shallow flats.
