Had the opportunity of having my son and mate Chris out for some quality Fluke fishing in the Ambrose Channel and boy did we whack some nice fish in a short amount of time.
Waited for the tide to shift to incoming with a nice light south wind and decided to bucktail the channel edges using our 6 oz. Spro-Glo's adorned with pearl white squid strips that knocked the heck out of the fish. Sure there were the normal amount of throwbacks, but the keepers were all quality fish in the 18" to 23" fat Fluke with a fish going 5 lb's as shown by Chris on the bottom along with a 4 lb'er too.
Once the wind started to honk out of the south at 22 kts and 8 oz bucktailing couldn't find bottom, it was time to call it a day. Not bad for 3 hours of fishing. We bagged 7 keepers and had 31 throwbacks for 2 men for our efforts.
Now time to sit back and wait for hurricane Irene to arrive. What next.
Hope this doesn't move those fish out to sea.
Tight Lines,
Capt. John
