Reel Class Fluke 8/11
« on: August 11, 2007, 06:30:51 PM »
Had David Quinn charter the boat, coming all the way from Arizona to join his buddies from PA, Rob and Mal.

Sloppy ocean, we elected to stay inside again today.  Started off at the top of the tide right outside Clark's, and picked away at loads of shorts and some birds on killies, FRESH spearing, and chartreuse gulp.  Made lots of shifts through the old channel, on the flats, off the doghouse, and near the #7 and #5 and in the Jamaica hole.  Same thing everywhere, shorts and birds.  Drift was weird w/ the NE wind, had a nice slide as the tide started going out but we had movement throughout.

Decided to make a move at around 11 to fish the Will's hole channel, and it paid off right off the bat with 2 quick keepers taken by Rob.  Mostly fluke caught in there, but no more keepers, again loads of shorts.  Power drifting in this tight spot helped a lot.

Finished up the day in the back again and in 2 drifts put 2 more keepers in the box.

Overall for the day the boys boated something like 75 fluke, with only 4 making it to the box, plus countless birds.  Tough day, great crew to fish with, along with Kenny who did a great job helping out today!

Good job.  I too have been catching a lot of short fish all of a sudden for some reason.  Better than catching the skunk.   TT^

Guys, I think the fish are starting to move, and are starting to move in a hurry.  Typically later in the season in the back of the river we start seeing all of those "micro-fluke" and that's what its starting to look like now.

Some nicer fish E of the train bridge, but there is no doubt that the fluke are on the move.

Kev, my charter postponed for today b/c his bud's couldn't make it, we're doing a bass trip in November.

With 30 days left in our fluke season, lets all hope that we don't get hit with a hurricane/tropical storm/nor'easter which in years past as sent the fluke out in a hurry.
