When my dad and I fished for fluke......" back in the day" it was killie / squid combo on 2' leader approx. 1' up from the sinker. Same every time, and 15 keeper fish days were common.

If your friend does very well on the Axle, ask him for the rigging / fishing details. He's likely doing something different.

He's been using Gulp grub on a jig with a gulp teaser 2' up the leader. Doesn't even use real bait. I resisted for a while but have been copying everything he says and still suck...

My go to rig was always a "just heavy enough" diamond jig with squid/spearing combo and a mylar teaser/spearing 2' up ( and sometimes another teaser 2' up)

I stopped using the old time "bank sinker with trailing Khale hook, squid/killie combo" when size limits started causing way too many gut hooked throwbacks.

When size limits were less than 17" great days were common. Strangely, now with bigger limits I don't even see many throwbacks, just sea robins and skates.

Skunk - you jigging the rig as shown by John Skinner in his fluke fishing video's ?
Using fluro leader of 20-40 max ?

Step Up - based on the pics the Mongers shows from their trips, got to agree with you there.

I refuse to drink the flourocarbon koolaid. Its BS.

Ok good luck

My two cents worth is Jerry on the Fish Monger is one of the best inshore fisherman!!!!!!!!!!!!Also anyone that take's a 20 foot boat offshore and catches fish must be a good fisherman. Of course good weather makes it possible but their is still more to it. No joke. Am very happy to be still part of talking the talk and walking the walk and fishing the fish on this site!!!!!!!Keep on fishing till you die! Step Up will return to fishing this weekend after doing some major repairs.
