Friday evening fluking on the Munky...

[Duffman]

Got the call from Mike and the weather finally broke. Shoved off around 4:30 or so and stayed local. Bounced around the Keyport flats which are LOADED with fluke. Unfortunately ALL shorts but steady action for a few hours with everything from postage stamps up to 17 3/4".
Watched in the flat calm conditions "something" rolling and tail slapping tree branches floating in the water next to us. Tossed surface poppers which got slapped around but couldnt set a hook or get a look at what the fish was??
Stopped on some birds right outside the harbor to play with the cocktails harrassing spearing. Stuck 2 in the box for strip baits for this afternoons trip, then called it a night.
Flat calm evening and the rain FINALLY OUTTA HERE. ...and I'll admit, GULP did work well

I agree with the number of fish around.Netters should be real happy.Never could figure the reasoning on way they can keep smaller fish?

Nice report Duffman. A lot of action...much better than sitting doing nothing.

Nice report. Fish caught is better than none at all.

Not a bad night out with Mike,   Plenty of shorts out in the bay,

[Luna Sea 5]

yeah, sitting on the water, even without catching is a good way to get your mind off your other problems.

Its the perfect cure for stress.

Shorts everywhere in the bay.  Head to deep water for keeps.

Catching is fun even if none in the box
