Try taking the sinker off and putting a 1/8-ounce splitshot about 18" above the hook. You don't need to get down deep for rockperch, just get their attention. Without the heavy weight, the fluke has far more action and that gets their attention. They will also hit a white streamer fly.

Without the heavy weight, the fluke has far more action and that gets their attention. They will also hit a white streamer fly. Will have to try it. I'm sure the fluke had enough action though because it was on a 3 ft leader below the sinker. Only reason I used a 2 oz bank sinker with a leader is because I didn't want to retie - just wanted to get a line in the water before the other guys caught another fish!

Those skips were getting chased by stripes. See a school jumpin like that toss your bate passed them and bring it through. Biggest stripe to date is 23 lbs doing just that.

I thought so when I saw it, and started throwing my fluke through the jumping schools. Do you fish the lure deeper or near the surface with the school? I did a couple handfuls of casts and no takers. Tried to vary depth as well.
What did you catch the walleye on? trolling a shad rap
