Spearfish's 7/20 Fluke Report
« on: July 21, 2008, 09:33:56 AM »
This is actually a 2 part report.
I was down in Wildwood all last week and decided to try the fishing down there a try.  I took my son out on a 1/2 day boat, The Lady Chris.  We fished on Wednesday, and there were a total of 5 keepers on the boat, 1 of which was mine, and also turned out to be the pool winner.  The fish was about 3.5 lbs.  My son and I combined for about 8 shorts also. 
We decided to try for the pool again on Thursday, but could only manage a close second, again about 3 pounds.  There were a total of 5 keepers on board.

Got back home on Saturday, and couldn't wait to try the fluke here.  We loaded up the boat and headed out yesterday.  There were 4 of us including my son and dad.  After launching the boat we could see peanuts jumping so we threw the net a couple of times and loaded the livewells.  On the first drift in the back of the bay my dad got a nice 26" 6.5 pounder.  We also hooked several shorts, but no more keepers.  We explored the rest of the day with a lot of shorts found, but only three more keepers.  Most fish were caught were on a chartreuse Gulp or peanut bunker.   We also loaded up on the usual sea robins, bluefish and skates, which at least provide a little excitement.  The skates were really slamming the bucktails.

Nice report and good fish Dad!
I have had good results with Chartreuse Gulp also... Chartreuse anything seems to work better than most with whites producing almost as well for me. But WELL is a relative word.
