Let me start by clearing up this swell controversy. We are not fishing behind Sandy Hook in Raritan Bay. We are fishing in Ambrose and Sandy Hook Channels. In the ocean and off the beach. We have not had a swell all week. I have spoken to captains to the south and they have had big swells which of course fluke do not like. On the north end of the Jersey shore due to the strong currents the swell has not made it to Scotland. If we had a swell we would not be catching fluke in the ocean. We would seek calm waters to catch fish. The weathermen play it up like it is the end of the world.
We had very good fluking again today with some very nice fish. Jim Custer from Edison (our big pool leader) took another pool today with a 7# 8oz fluke. We had to weigh the fish at the dock as Rick had 2nd place at 7# 7oz. to close to tell on the balance scale. We had many with 3, 4 and 5 keepers.
7:00 AM first boat out tomorrow.
Thanks Captain George
PS Big Pool now $2710 and a 10 pound fluke gets 1/2 up until Labor Day.
