As many have said, what works one day for whatever reason may not work the next for a completely different set of reasons.

Good theory, and a valid one.. The boat only had spearing for bait, so the regulars brought their own squid, or belly strips, and it seems that was the profile the fluke wanted. .. HUGE lures. and the more and longer bait globbed on the better.. If I had known, I would have grabbed a box of squid. My 2.5 oz Spro simply could not compete that day. I guess I can't complain.. Although a lot of guys killed the fluke, a bunch caught all shorts. At least I was able to bring home one keeper and a Bluefish... bob
