Weekend 8/16 + 8/17 fluke

[Duffman]

Back at it Sat with my son and his buddy. Hit some old holes on the NY side I haven't fished in a long while.  Drift sucked everywhere we went but managed 4 keepers to 20".  I bounced BT's and did nothing, the boys dragged old school killies and squid and put the 4 keepers in the box.

Sun stayed in close once the wind kicked up. Bounced around the flats in SH bay.  1 keeper and a ridiculous amount of shorts!  The boys put at least least 40 fluke on the deck today.

Overall a successful weekend, kids had a ball and fell asleep on the ride home from the ramp, so all good.  BBQ bacon burgers on the water was a huge hit!!

Check pic of the baitfish. What is it?  Thought it was a sandeel but nose was pointy?

Nice weekend,

nice Dan, keepers have been tough

that looks to be one of those Magma Stainless grills; I like mine a lot, only thing I notice is they need to be somewhat sheltered from wind to burn correctly- depending where you are grillin' it may be difficult to get/keep it going...

Looks like a fun and delicious day!  As for your mystery guest.. I'm going with...Northern Pipefish.. google it and see if it looks close

Hey guys thanks!

Tree...that's def what it is.  Fluke spit it out on deck. Kicked it aside as I thought it was just a sandeel then got a closer look cleaning up. Cool looking fish, first one I've seen.

HR, the grill is def worth it.  Like Warren said, a little finicky if the wind is blowing. That little grill gets damn hot and cooks quick. Nice having a hot meal out there every now and then.
