Fluke fishing has slowed since the NE blow that started on Friday. Tough fishing as the fluke seemed to have hunkered down until the seas subside. Just before that, it was pretty good, with high hooks on the half day trips between 3 and four keepers up to 5lbs. Over the weekend, the sea bass would have helped to fill the buckets and coolers --some really nice ones came over the rails-- but the regs prohibited that. Looking forward to the fluke bite turning on again soon as the sea should not be as churned up. Looks like nice weather for the rest of the week.
Our Nite Wreckin' trip on Thursday was good on mixed sized ling up to 3lbs and we are still seeing a few cod. We are mostly fishing in 125ft.
Our night bluefish trip on Saturday night was good on small blues up to 2lbs and 1lb mackerels --both of which could be landed 2 or even 3 at a time with a mackerel rig. The mackerels are good to eat as long as they are kept in a cooler with ice for the duration of the trip. I like to marinate the mackerel and bluefish filets overnight in teriyaki sauce or Italian dressing and then bake at 10-15 minutes max.
