Reel Class Sunday 8/2 Fluke -- Another Good Day!
Right back at it today w a full day fluke trip w/ a 5 man crew.
Started out where we had them good yesterday and had an ok bite early w a lot of shorts and a few keepers. By 9 we lost the drift as the wind completely crapped out so we took a ride to the rough stuff -- very slow bite just another keeper or two (and a few very lucky seabass) and just a few shorts as we hopped around hoping to find SOMETHING. From 9:30 till noon time things looked VERY bleak for us... Miraculously, an ESE breeze kicked in and we worked our way back to where we started (since we knew the fish were there - we just needed a drift! -- we also got a heads up from a friend!) and the bite was on. Basically the same as yesterday -- Lots of shorts, and every drift 1-3 keepers came up (loooong drifts) -- best drift we had 6 keepers. Lots of nice fish 20-23".... Fish were very aggressive and were crushing the baits - but for whatever reason we missed lots of them (???). By 230 the wind turned dead south and things shut off. Still a good day - 22 keepers, 18 of them over 20" a bunch of 3-5#ers and the biggest by john at 7# - he also had his limit; Pat and Pat Sr. had 4 each.. Real nice day w/ a great crew!!!!

Oh and by the way, John's fish, Pat's fish, and Pat Jr's fish, if caught on Saturday, would've all been the top 3 fish in the port for the JCAA tournament -- LOL -- a day late and a buck short! Gotta love it!

Re: Reel Class Sunday 8/2 Fluke -- Another Good Day!
Allen! Allen! Allen! Allen! Al! LOL. Thank you for a great day on the water! The morning was indeed difficult, but once the wind turned on so did the fishing. It was lock and load all afternoon with lots of quality sized fish. Great to see my cousin John catch his PB and limit for the day. Noticed that myself and one other fisherman were using the big gulps all day and did not do as well as the others. Spro tipped with just meat seemed to be the ticket. My first time out on the Reel Class and I highly recommend them. The boat is awesome (with ac) and the crew is even better. Give them a try guys. You won't be disappointed.
