Default What's Going On With The Fluke?

I heard some great reports this fluke season of 6+ pounders. At the same time, I hear very poor reports of NOT even a short. So how has fluke been going for you? Vote in the poll.

Remember, this is up to this point for last year and this year. I have to say, personally, so far this fluke season is much better than the last.

Really? I think this year has been hit or miss. Thanks to the beautiful weather pattern.

The ocean is still a little cold. The back of the bay is dirty from all the rain. This weeks SE wind isn't helping the water temperature. We caught 50 fluke, three man limits last Wednesday tight to the beach off Long Branch area. When we handled the fish, they were cold. We need three days of NW or North winds to bring the water temperature up. It's not in this weeks forecast either.

Made several trips so far and no skunks, and limits twice. Best was last wednesday, with three man limits many shorts and throwbacks. I've fished the same areas in years past and seems to be off to a better start.
So we'll see.

We've fluke fished a grand total of 4 times so far this season, results:

trip 1 (the opener) Larry's charter: 3 keepers

trip 2 (open boat bailout): 6 keepers

trip 3 (FTYP #1): 20 keepers

trip 4 (FTYP #2 - fished in river b/c of nasty ocean): 12 keepers

Last year we already limited the boat out by 7/2 about 4 times. Yes it has been slower but we haven't put the time in also b/c seabass fishing has been so good.

At least yer getting out there! :-)

From when I've been able to go, water is way too cold for July and where's the bait? Limited rainfish, killies, peanut bunker, snappers? A lot of fish have been skinny and feeding on small crabs.

This F*@king South wind lets up, we might actually get a bite going!

Ranting with a 7 month old battling a double ear infection in my lap...on my week off.
