Default RI Fluke Trip

Received call from Capt. friend in RI that the he was into big fish bite. Got crew together on short notice for 2 day trip this past Mon and Tues. Crew consisted (CSI Mike, Cuz, Uncle Paulie and myself) Mike's son works for the coast guard up there so it was a chance for him to fish and see his son which is one of the reasons I called him. Enjoy fishing with guys like him as he is a high character guy who is a great family man, works hard and has a passion for fishing) All things I cherish.

We were fishing 8 minutes from the dock in 150 ft of water 100 yards from land. We all bucktailed hard and were rewarded with limits both days. Limit is 8 fish a man at 18" up in RI. Needless to say my family and neighbors were extremely happy with the fluke I gave them. This is one of my favorite places to fish as the scenery is breathtaking. Fished my new Diawa Lexa 300 PWR 5.1 gear ratio that I picked up from sponsor JIGGING WORLD w/ Power handle that matches up perfectly with Diawa Interline rod with no guides I picked up this winter specifically for bucktailing fluke. The entire set up weighs in at 18.3 oz. Could not be happier with this set up as a lot of fluke will be seeing the bottom of my cooler this year. Wish I had taken more pictures but was to busy catching fish. Hopefully other guys took pictures and can post.

Nice trip Alex Im headed up there on Thursday I can't wait a family trip is planned. Next month I'm going to be doing another trip. There may be a better mix of Sea Bass & Porgies in the mix as well. Those of you who fished with me on those trips get in touch with me. Otherwise I will post a date looking to fill in any voids.

Nice trip Alex. Wish I could have gone, but I was already scheduled for a trip here, and that didn't happen. Keep me on your list.
