Fishermen/Fluking report

[1captainron]

There's no way I can describe this years Fluke fishing so far.....I can word my reports to make it look like the bite is on and everyone is happy, that is BS!! Some guys do catch fish and everyday we have a select few who catch a limit or 3 or 4 fish after busting ass and working hard all day. Bait certainly has been producing better than the jigging, but to get those guys to change their style, isn't going to happen! The bigger fish have been caught jigging....Quality, not Quantity if that's what your after.

We've fished the Bay, the Beach, Flats, Mussels, Rocks, Offshore...you name it, to only come back each day with the same five gallon bucket of racks as everyone else! Some nicer fish the past couple of days and the pool fish usually makes 4 to 5 pounds. Action on the shorts, and they have been shorts...hard to Squeeze the tail on them!!

Several area's that we will find fish today, we go back with the same conditions the next day and they don't bite. Tried the channels today on some drops that have always produced fish at slack into the change to only catch a handful of shorts and a couple keepers.

Still a long season ahead of us and I wake up each morning with that kick ass attitude, so be ready when things get right cause were taking no prisoners!!

Capt. Dan didn't make it out last night with the "Severe Weather Reports" More BS!! As we only had a shower after 9 pm. The Bass fishing has been holding up and from the amount of Bunker I saw in the Bay and the ocean today, I'm sure that bite will hold up for him. Porgie fishing will be added to the night fishing schedule as of Monday, great eats, great action and a whole lot of fun to add to the mix.

Thanks!

Ron you always tell it like it should be no B.S.

Ron,

Appriciete you telling it like it is and not sugar coating things. It is just a matter a time before things break open and you are putting your customer on more consistent fishing. July and August will be your time to shine and have all your hard work and passion pay off.

Can always count on Capt. Ron for an honest report. I fished with a buddy out of staten island today, we had descent action in various spots around the hook, and the reach channel. Wound up with 1 NY keeper and tossed three 19 inch fish back, lots of fish between 15-17 inches, others just bigger than my hand. Bait worked best for us, and we wound up just using gulp with a combo of squid/spearing, squid/smelt, squid sand eel, didn't seem to matter what the bait was. Cheers!

Couldn't agree more. I said just this am that this has been a very poor season so far. I think it's all the rain and south wind. Everyday there is south in the forecast.

It is early, but I would like to see a break in this weather pattern.

It's been a frustrating season so far, to say the least Capt.... but your perserverance will win out!!
