Tips for catching Fluke in the surf?

bucktails with a piece of pork rind on it is killer. or strip of bunker for the doormats.

^^ 'Bucktails with strip of bunker". I wonder who taught you that, Rip? That's a technique a lot of the old salts use. Fillet a side of bunker and put a strip on the bucktail. It's deadly in some deep water areas where you're fishing directly from above. Good for those times when they ain't hittin the bucktail, but you feel they're there anyway.

I did learn that from an old salt. I was taught that a little fresh meat will always work. Scent plays a huge roll on weather you are catching or not. One day we were out snagging bunker for bass and on our way back we saw boats concentrated in the river so we stopped. guys were fluke fishing and not doing much but we all know the Manasquan River holds fluke. So we start slicing up small pieces of the bunker and stuck em on 1/2 plain jig heads. Ended getting yelled at cuz we were catching when no one else was. They didn't want killies they wanted meat. Some serious personal satisfaction that I actually used something I learned and that it actuall worked.

I wanted to ask you guy who get a lot of fluke from the beach, what are some of the techniqies and rigs that work best for you?
Does the distance from your bucktail or jig to the teaser dropper loop matter that much. Does gulp color really matter that much? thanks
