Default Re: Fluke and shad

Your posts are always very detailed with interesting pictures. Not sure, but your shad looks more like a blue back herring then a shad but it's hard to tell the difference between the two. If you catch them frequently at the inlet, you might want to have another setup ready to go and live line that off the tip of the jetty or on the pocket side of the North jetty. They are big striper candy.

I know we had a mild winter but it's pretty amazing that we're still in April and you caught a fluke that are less active this time of year with the colder water temperatures on a jig. Obviously it's early and they're moving into the warm water bays but to catch one on a moving metal jig is still pretty impressive and unusual. Good report.
