Default Re: Disappointing fluking 7/4

I find it funny that guys are saying use smaller, more natural prexsentation, etc.. I was out a few weeks back on a PACKED AH party boat.. I was very lucky to get one keeper.. Guys alongside me were KILLING the fluke, we are talking keeper after keeper, all day long.. these guys had each caught like 20 keepers each.. They were using titanic 8-10 oz pink jig heads with 6 inch pink shine Gulp globbed with bait... another guy was doing very well using 2- 4 ounce heads about 4 inches apart with Gulp and bait.. These guys were using massive, ugly alien looking rigs unlike anything a fluke has ever seen in its environment.. Guys using bait [killies, spearing] or smaller bucktails caught less than 10% what the guys were catching that had MASSIVE rigs.. Never even saw jig heads that size until that day... I see guys report here they limit out on their own boat with 1 or 2 oz Spros with squid.. maybe its a party boat thing, and when the fluke see 50 rigs coming at them they go for the biggest and weirdest, but boy were my eyes opened.. I will never venture aboard a fluke party boat with 3 oz jigs or less again.. It wasn't a bottom contact thing.. For a while we had no drift, and still the guys using giant pink 8 to 10 oz or huge shiny chrome jigs with pink shine Gulp made most of us look like fools... bob
