GAMBLER --Day and Night Reports

July 15, 2014

The last 3 days, the fluke fishing has been tough. Catching a few keepers and some shorts along with a few sea bass and ling but the cooler water has slowed our catch considerably. On the upside, the wind is forecast to turn to the NW tomorrow and continue thru Thursday, which should turn conditions around nicely and warm the sea temps up.


Our last Nite Wreckin' trip was a lot of fun, with big ling, a few keeper cod, a decent amount of squid and some little bluefish mixed in the catch. A good trip overall with fish steadily coming over the rails.

Night bluefishing, over the weekend, was good too, catching small blue fish and large chub mackerel. Both species are very good eating but you should keep them on ice, in a cooler. Marinate these fillets over night in your favorite marinade (I like to employ whatever is half used on the fridge door, mixing Italian dressing with mustard, teriyaki sauce, barbecue sauce --whatever you think might work well together) place in a baking dish (skin side down but skin off) and bake at 350F for about 15 minutes --do not over cook; as soon as you can flake the fillets with a fork, it should be done. So good.
