Deep Wtaer Fluke rig

Those that fish off of southern NJ DE and MD know of the Old Grounds. Its a deep water trench that runs out of the Delaware bay down off the coast of DE. Its deep where sometimes 12 to 20 oz are needed to get to the bottom. The trench has depths of 60 to 100ft, There are ballast stones from the old sailing ships that they would dump over board to lighten up for the trip up the bay. Well with all the structure it can be a big fluke Haven.

The Rig Known as the Old Grounds Rig Consists of 36 inches of leader a three way swivel. 2 mustad offset black octopus hooks snelled in tandem one bead and a Mckala or B-2 Glow in the Dark Squid. Baits can be Long strip baits whole squids or smelts.

The one thing I do with this rig is attach my sinker with copper rigging wire to keep it as a break away if it gets hung in the bottom. A sharp tug and the wire gives free and you don’t loose the whole rig.
