Them Fluke are still out there! 9/12/24
Left the barn to a super flat bay! Had a whale break the surface 3/4 of the way to the tip of the hook! Very cool! Headed down the beach to some hard bottom in 55ft of water. No drift ...time to move on. With such calm conditions I decided to fish one of my favorite areas that has lots of structure and various depths but sometimes is hard to fish due to too much current. Not today! We had a .5kt drift that was perfect. We caught Sea Robins, Sea Bass, Ling, Chub Mack and Fluke. Only 3-4 oz of weight was needed to hold bottom in 60-80ft of water..perfect. We wound up catching 24 Fluke most in the 17" plus size with 4 of them keepers between 19-21". We also caught some nice sized keeper Sea Bass but let them go hoping to get some bigger knuckleheads. It never happened! (Oh well) 6" Gulp tipped with spearing did the trick. The weather was perfect and so where the seas. They are still out there. Get them while the getting is good. Tight Lines!

Yes. was up by the VZ but bite was slow slow. Bait draggers did better than gulpers.
Got a few hours to work with this morning before cooking and football. High tide 6AM and have a particular hole I wanna try.........
