Longshot 7-26 On the Water Fluke Seminar Report

[jmurr711]

I gave my annual fluke seminar on the Longshot with Captain Chris & FJ. Had an eager group ready to learn how to catch cardboard. My students were ReelRon,The Directa,Ling Louie XIV, Billy Lavalette, & Cafish Steve. Started out same area we crushed em last year & had a few shorts & undersized skates. Chris said fudge that & made a run to the deep, same thing a short here & there& undersized skates, not being what Capt Bauer wanted he ran back inshore near the hook, got 1 keeper & a couple a shorts not much life so Chris made a long run down the beach a bit. here I started to show how it was done as we started catching some n ice keepers, stayed a slow pick all day but it was all quality maybe 2 or 3 18 inch fish majority were over 20 inches. I had 7 keepers & was high hook thus proving as I do once a year I am an amazing fluke fisherman. Total for the group was 18 keepers all really fat fish biggest was over 7 with alot in the 4-6 range we also had a dozen mountain trout caught mainly by Lou & Ron who are the new Kings Of Ling, & a few 4spots. Not 1 sea robin .

All color bucktails & gulp! worked for me as long as it was white. I cannot say enough about the Longshot as Chris runs a fine operation & has the hunger & drive thats needed to put a catch together even when the bite is slow & fj is there to help ya before you can ask for help. we left the dock at 630 & did not dock until after 4 as Chris pounded the area we found the quality at. making short drifts over the area none of that 3 mile dreaming b#llsh!t!If you wanna go fluking on a 6 pack in the hIghlands area call him right now
.
Also I gave fluke a try again, stuffed it with crabmeat & put it on the grill. & the crabmeat was great but the fluke tasted like styrafoam! still do not get what tastes good about these dumb flat trash fish!!!!!!!!!!!! Thankfully Jen grilled hotdgs & ReelRon gave me some extra ling he had caught the other day with Tagged Fish!! Oh well time to put the bucktails away until this weekend next year & get back to gamefishing as its almost time for the trigger,ling & pilotfish run!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
