Redeemer Sportfishing - July 5th Fluke Report with the Kids

[Redeemer Sportfishing]

Had out Chris and his daughters for his daughters birthday. Left a little early due to the forecast. Fished the Red Church hard for 5 hrs, landed a dozen fluke but all shorts. Girls had a blast. Same as last week at the SG reef. Not sure what's going on with the fluke.

Nice work. I think it's still early/chilly for the keepers to set up out front.

I agree, bottom water temp is frigid, too much SW winds and upwelling.

Would of fished further out but it was too rough for the kids.

Fluke have been almost completely absent from the Shrewsbury River this year. VERY strange. Everywhere I have fished in the past 8 years (normally very productive) have been void of fluke of any size.

I originally thought the family of porpoise that have been in the channels for the past couple months was the cause. But after reading your report - I'm not so sure about that. Something is up. Just don't know what.

I liked your tuna report Mike. Let me know when they are in closer.
