Nice job.

Were you fishing all the way at the end of the walk-way along the bulkhead between the Ferry & Heliport?

I haven't been there at all yet this season.

I do allot of snapper fishing in September by the kayak launch. Do very well on an outgoing tide. Plus as a bonus usually get at least 1 small striper per outing. Have also seen a few very small fluke taken. Those mud flats back there are good for gathering fiddler crabs for seabass/blackfish bait and turning the rock along the waterline will yield a good amount of Asian crabs.

Maybe I'll see you down there one of these days.

This time I stayed closer to the entrance. I was at the end on Wednesday and Friday and didn't even get a bite so I decided a change of scenery was in order and it worked. I still haven't caught any fluke yet this year but I usually don't really target them. My biggest last year was 17".

I've never caught a fluke there nor have I ever targeted them. I think I've only seen 3 caught all about 10"s.

Years ago, I used to fish off the Caven Point railraod pier in Jersey City and would catch nice fluke from there (in addition to nice sized bluefish & stripers) but that was way back in the early 1990's.
