Wow, really nice fish. Don’t know anything about blues or flukes. At the lake I fish the stripers are already in their summer hideouts. South central Texas.
I hail from Maryland where fishing for stripers is quite competitive, as all try as they may to hook one as they pass through the Conowingo dam. Persons are lined up side by side continually casting and it is dangerous, they seem to love it. A little too much testosterone for me, I stay on the dam’s edge away from the crowd, and fishing is quite good.
In Maryland, stripers are called "rockfish".
