Back of Keyport Harbor Fluking - WOW

[hartattack]

Looks like the Raritan Fluke reversed course - the back of the bay is loaded with peanut bunker and fluke are below them. Caught 5 keepers and dozens of shorts, fishing with Grateful Dad and Pete this morning. We were literally just a few feet outside the Marina and began our drift. Between the Keyport Pier and the Sailboats is where most of the fleet were. WE had action everywhere except deeper water

Most fish were caught in just 9' of water. All they wanted were Peanuts. No touches on anything else. There was lots of life in Keyport HArbor - besides the thick swarms of peanuts I saw a Sea Turtle, caught one bluefish & just kept on smiling when catching fluke in skinny water

IT was astounding to catch these fluke in mid-September at the very back of the bay. Thanks again Jeff for a GRATE one, post or send pix please

Damn! Nice report Larry!

Gave that same stretch a shot every trip this year and didnt do squat!
Surprised they are laying in that mud?

[Grateful Dad]

It was unreal. Larry boxed the first keeper on the first drop, less than 10 minutes from when we shoved off the dock.
I'm trying to get some pics up, but my phone isn't behaving itself..

Larry does best when the ride is the shoprtest, he doesn't have time to overthink his rigs. Good job gentlemen.

Tried our short ride in Shark River yesterday but had a roll coming down the river from the inlet, very quiet 2 shorts in 2 hours.

WE seemed to do best when the peanut schools were right beside the boat; the Fluke must be moving with them !! Coupla' pix attached
