Fluke / Flounder

Fluke & Flounder Fishing: Master the Bottom Bite

Summer flounder — better known up and down the coast as fluke — are one of the most consistent, best-eating fish an inshore angler can target, and Magictail Outfitters builds tackle specifically for the drift-and-bounce game that catches them.

Built for the Fluke Bite

Our bucktails and Gulp-rigged jigs are weighted and shaped to hold bottom in current without losing the subtle action that triggers a strike, paired with sensitive Inshore Series rods built to telegraph the lightest "thump."

  • Range: Fluke run heaviest from Massachusetts and Rhode Island down through New York, New Jersey, Delaware, Maryland, and Virginia, with a strong May–September season.
  • Presentation: Match jig weight to current and drift speed — fluke are famous for short-striking a bait that doesn't look alive.
