But Rod, I already have three hats.  hehehe

Good luck to everyone.
I'm betting the biggie comes out of the Sandy Hook area near the Navy Pier.

Luna,
I will be fishing that area Saturday as well.  Look for me, give me a shout on the radio if you want.  I monitor channel 10 and 16.  The big fish will come out of Shrewsbury or the navy pier.  I'm hoping the Rocks because I don't fish the navy pier.

If weather permitting, rocks is the place.  If I get bunker in the marina, I will be live lining first for a couple of hours on the way to the rocks, then when I get there... FLUKE time...
August 5th, last year at the rocks.

Very clear...  Like it was yesterday.  You got that one by the nude beach if I am correct.  Great Catch.  I am sure we will conquer again this year..

I never had any success in the bay.  Mostly shorts.  I get a better keep ratio on the ocean.  If there are any productive spots in the bay you would like to share, it would be appreciated.  This will mean I can fluke fish when the weather isn't so good.

Guys this fish will definitely measure 24.5 "s my camera was dead.. But talk to young gull and he will have a pic soon.. Hopefully real soon.. I would save a solid 6-7lbder plus had a few other keepers.. Young Gull is a super nice guy,,Saw my boat came right over and showed us the fish than gave me some bunker for strips(hint).. And who said the Cintact forum doesn't work Well??

Post by: Hotrod on June 18, 2007, 09:28:20 PM
We need to do something new. 
Other than a larger fluke.

any ideas..?  I was think of something with a few fish at certain sized... and we can keep track as we go.

22" fluke
18" Weaky
and a
16" black see bass

I fish the momouth beach, I drift on the north edge of the rocks, close to the beach.  With the GPS, I take my drifts on the very edge of the rocks and try to stay on the edge.

  You can also do shirts for the TWINs...  Meaning.  A pair of 24" fluke, or half dozen fluke over 20", or somethingn like that.

Hey Hotrod, Does this make the limit for a hat? I think it was 36inch 14.4 Lbs Ambrose Channel June this year.If not well maybe next year I'll make it.

Nice fish. Would have made it if it were the 1st 24" in the time frame specified, with the ruler and quarter in the pic (maybe not the ruler, but def the quarter).

nice fish, ya might have to do the same thing for next year...  Its a big fish, but wasn't the first one caught over 24" in the 2007 season..
Title: Re: First 24" fluke get's a Free Hat
Post by: Hotrod on November 30, 2007, 07:30:44 PM
WOW  Nice fish!.  That would have won the Hat t^

Next year we will be having some pretty Cool give aways

Post by: BobG on November 30, 2007, 08:11:14 PM
Nice deal, Rod.  Question for you.  If you don't have a quarter to put in the picture, is it ok to use 2 dimes and a nickel?   ;D
Title: Re: First 24" fluke get's a Free Hat
Post by: Hotrod on November 30, 2007, 08:59:31 PM
Yea ;D when we do these Little contests, we ask for something next to the fish so we know you caught it at that time.

I see some nice rod combo and stuff for this coming season ;D  As we grow so do the give  aways t^

Post by: seaweed on December 01, 2007, 12:00:57 AM
Yeah, I'll be going for it next year, Good luck to all of us. So we need Quarter & a ruler in the photo, Is that right?
Title: Re: First 24" fluke get's a Free Hat
Post by: ped579 on December 01, 2007, 12:20:39 AM
Usually...Unless Rod thinks we are made out of money and makes us put up a dollar bill happy.

BTW, Welcome Aboard.

I hope all these contests are not too overwhelming, It keeps us amused and for me that doesn't say much... rofla

Again Welcome Aboard.

Happy Catching
