Fluke sucks this season
Been hitting it hard daily. If the limit was 15 I'd have more filets then I'd know what to do with. I've got 2 doormats total this year and maybe 4 other just keepers. I'd love to know where all these great reports are coming from ?! The Raritan was loaded with more bunker tonight then I've ever seen at once and rays attacking them everywhere. At least I caught one of those!

Re: Fluke sucks this season
I have to agree. Guess we were spoiled last year

Re: Fluke sucks this season
We been spoiled for many years. If you took all the boats that slam Raritan Bay every week-end and put that kind of pressure in any other waters in the U.S., that area would be depleted with-in a month. Raritan Bay is the best estuary on the east coast that keeps giving and giving every year. It's really an amazing fishery.

Re: Fluke sucks this season
we have limited out just about every trip.
LOTS of fish around, just need to find where they want to chew each day. we have fished a few spots that were biteless, to come back and crush them at the same spot a few hours later.

Re: Fluke sucks this season
Sorry to hear guys, it definitley hasn't been a hot bite any day but I've had my share of keepers for sure. It's going to explode any day now, hopefully the forecasts for the next week are accurate. Last years end of July bite was insane

Re: Fluke sucks this season
I agree with you, Chum. I've picked up a couple of keepers on nearly every trip, but it has overall been S L O W. Hit it hard last Sunday with nothing to show for it. Better days are comin', I hope.

Re: Fluke sucks this season
I could not agree more. I only fish from the surf and mostly catch shorts with an occasional keeper to be quite honest but this year has been dismal. Live killies in the surf is usually a sure thing. I switched it up to gulps on a dropper and nothing. Even the robins aren't around like they usually are.
