Saw a report from an Ocean City MD site and they mentioned someone actually tried for fluke this past week and caught 2 in 51degree bay water. I'm not familiar with fluking in the Chesapeake or Ocean City area but think that this is a good sign for our upcoming season. I've always targeted fluke early may (and got laughed at by some) and had a lot of success. I recall as a kid occasionally catching a few shorts in Reynolds Channel while flounder fishing in April.....Anxiously awaiting our season opener.

I can recall back in the day of Nor'east Saltwater, you knew two things would happen in early May, the biggest fluke of the season and the first 50-pound bass. It was like clockwork.

But they've also gone the way of other cherished harbingers, St. Patty's Day Flounder in the Quogue Canal, April Mackerel in the Sound, etc...

Sandspinner nailed 3 nice size fluke fishing one of the inlets/channels here on the Ocean side of the Eastern Shore (VA) this past week.
