Bass fishing with a fluke can be an effective technique, as the fluke is a versatile soft plastic bait that closely imitates a baitfish. Here are some tips to help you have success when bass fishing with a fluke:

Rigging: The most common way to rig a fluke is weightless Texas-style. Insert a wide-gap worm hook into the nose of the fluke, burying the hook point into the bait. Then, thread the hook through the body of the fluke and expose the point near the belly. This rigging allows for a weedless presentation.

Presentation: Cast the fluke near cover such as weed beds, docks, fallen trees, or any areas where bass might be hiding. Let the fluke sink for a few seconds, then start a slow and subtle retrieve. Twitch your rod tip to make the fluke dart and swim erratically, imitating a wounded baitfish. Experiment with different retrieval speeds and twitches to find what works best on a given day.

Pause and Twitch: After a few twitches, pause the retrieve for a few seconds. This mimics a baitfish momentarily stopping or suspending, which can trigger a bass to strike. Sometimes, the strike happens on the pause, so be prepared for a sudden hit.

Color Selection: Flukes come in various colors, and the choice depends on water clarity and the bass's feeding preferences. In clearer water, natural colors like shad, pearl, or watermelon often work well. In murky water, try using brighter colors like chartreuse or white to increase visibility.

Retrieve Depth: Adjust the retrieve depth based on where the bass are holding. If they are shallow, fish the fluke near the surface or just below. In deeper water, let the fluke sink for longer periods before starting the retrieve.

Seasonal Considerations: Bass behavior can change with the seasons. In spring, when bass are in the shallows for spawning, work the fluke near beds and cover. In summer, focus on deeper water and use a faster retrieve. Fall can be an excellent time for fluke fishing as bass are actively feeding before winter.

Be Patient: Bass fishing with a fluke can require patience. Sometimes, bass will follow the bait before striking, so be prepared for a sudden hit at any moment. If you're not getting bites, try adjusting your presentation, retrieve speed, or color until you find what triggers a response.

Remember to check local fishing regulations and have the appropriate fishing license before heading out. Bass fishing with a fluke can be exciting, and with practice, you'll improve your technique and increase your chances of landing some impressive bass. Good luck!
