Capt Andy and Rich paid a late June visit to Vineyard Sound, MA to fish with Capt Gary Corsetti for some monster fluke.  Gary is a respected and extremely successful tournament angler and put the hosts on a pile of trophy fluke to over 10lbs in 50-90ft of water.  He targets these fish using light tackle and bucktails and some expert boat handling.  The techniques and tackle in this show can be used by anyone who dares to use light tackle for fluke in deep water!  If you have questions about any of the equipment used during the show, please contact us or  send us a message
The outfit used consisted of a Shimano Calcutta 400S reel on a 7' H fast action Compre casting rod rated for 12-30lb test line.  This combination is perfect for this type of fishing. It was sensitive to feel even the lightest of pickups, yet had enough beef to handle the current and the big fish.

The reels were loaded with 20lb Spiderwire Stealth.  The thin diameter and lack of stretch were perfect for the raging current and soft fluke bites. 

A 2-3ft leader of 30lb Berkley Vanish was attached to the main line using an 80lb SPRO Power Swivel.  The rig is completed by 2-3oz SPRO bucktails.

All the tackle used on Northeast Angling is stored in Ameripack tackle systems.  The Backpack Tackle system is used to get the tackle to the fish!  All the rods and reels are transported using the Rod Pods and the Reel Locker.  They insure that everything makes it to the shoot in perfect condition.  Their versatile Fly Boxes are also used for bucktails and rigs.

These big fish and the windy conditions made the net choice especially critical.  A Frabill Powercatch net with it's extendable handle was used and ensured that none of the fish were lost at boat-side.  This is a a great net that stores easily and all you have to do is slide, lock and load and it is ready to go!
LoadRite supplied the tandem axel roller trailed used to haul the boat.  This trailer made launching and recovery a breeze and provided a real sense of security on the road.  Click here to locate the LoadRite dealer nearest to you.
The boat was launched at Tripps Marina (508-636-4058) in Westport Point, MA.  This facility has a full service marina that has slips that can accommodate boats up to 65ft.  They have moorings available for boats up to 45ft.  It has electric, 20ton haul-out, fuel (gas/diesel), pump out, ship store, laundry, heads, showers and many other amenities.  There are also repair facilities for power and sail boats and they sell and service both inboard and outboard engines.
Accommodations were provided by the New Bedford Days Inn (508-997-1231).  This hotel was only minutes away from the fishing and had all the amenities that one would expect of a Days Inn including conference facilities and an indoor pool.  They also have a guest laundry facility open 24 hours a day and full banquet and meeting spaces available that can accommodate from 2 to 380 people.
Capt Andy and Rich wear polarized sunglasses supplied by Azores Eyewear.  Finally someone has come out with a premium sunglass line at a reasonable price (less than $80).  The polarized lenses eliminate glare and allows anglers to spend long hours on the water without having to worry about headaches and eyestrain.  All models have 100% UVA and UVB protection.  Never settle for anything else.  No angler should be without these  glasses.
