5/30 early morning fluke raritan bay

[Fat fish stick]

Got a nice early start today knowing we had to be back at the dock at 11am.... 3 of us headed out of keyport around 545 got setup around 6. Started out fishing squid kelly combo and squid spearing combo.... had some action right off the bat with a few sea Robins and couple short fluke. Made a drift and my buddy starting using a 5in white jerk gulp along side a spearing and he wound up with 5 shorts and nice 21 incher for the cooler. My dad got a few shorts then switched up to the jerk/spearing combo and put a 20 incher in the box.... I was hard headed (and by this time we were out of gulp) stuck with the squid combo and got myself a sea Robin and a blue. All in all a very nice day out there and that was my dad and buddy's first keepers of the year so I was happy to put em on the fish. We were drifting in about 18 ft of water starting about 3 miles off keansburg pier. Lot of traffic out there when we were heading in so hopefully that don't turn em off

Thanks for the report. I was up that way yesterday and we tried for stripers at first, nada only blue fish. Switched over for fluke and nada again. Nice day on the water though.
