Default First 2017 Fluke trip - Shark River - So So

Expectations were high based on previous scouting trip. Those expectations got even higher when I landed my first 2017 keeper at the dock before anyone else arrived. Unfortunately the bite was off. I got my limit (3) but my 2 unnamed partners didn't.

Could have been a coupla' factors at play:
- water was dirty from all of yesterday's rain
- drift was real fast, outgoing water + W wind, fluke bites were 'one & done' - no 'come-on backs'
- the pinhooker working the river over the last two weeks (500 pounds per day) clobbered them

It was good to bounce the jigs again
