Barnegat Bay 6/24

[striper sniper]

Had my Uncle and his father aboard today along with my cousin.  We left the marina about 6am and immediately got into blues in the channel.  Once that died down we switched to flukin'  landed about 25 with 2 keepers-18 on the money and 19.5. 

Good day-I was glad to see them catch

Being Cpt and mate for 3 guys I didn't get a chance to snap any photos-they kept me busy all day!

On a side note-how the hell do you fillet a fluke??

I butchered the hell out of it

Nice job on the few keepers... Everyone fillets them differently, I personally get 4 fillets out of each fish, ill cut around its neck then a slit down the center of its body, and ill work out 2 fillets on each side.... But I'm no pro... You WILL get some good filleting tips on hear ill tell ya that though...

Way to go Dave!

Nice catch. On the filleting let Dexter Russel help you out next time . Look for a good knife with high carbon and some flex that will be easy to put a sharp edge on. It can make a world of differnce.

Great Job Dave.  What Rigs and bait were they hitting on?

Thanks for the filleting tips!

They seemed to prefer the green Gulp bucktails.  I had squid which didn't produce at all   We used standard fluke rigs
