Nothing like starting the opening day of the 2011 Fluke season with a BANG!
Had the John Cuozzo party from Advantage Promotions, Boonton, NJ out for opening day of the 2011 Fluke season, and boy what a day. Our first drift started in what I thought would be the top spot for early season Fluke, the Shrewsbury River which had a water temp of 52.2. That temp was a drop off of 8 degrees from Wednesday and obviously resulted in the poor fishing in the river this morning. After 2 drifts with not even a hit, we moved to a few other spots within the Shrewsbury with the same results.....nothing. It's just not happening in the river yet.
Reluctantly, I decided to move to "Kiddie City" (the Bug Light) and was pleasantly surprised by the number of quality Fluke that the area held. One fish after another my anglers were rewarded with very hungry Fluke.
Although there was a substantial fleet of boats in the area, we kept finding fish after fish in what turned out to be beautiful weather and worked both the incoming and outgoing tides. We caught 22 Fluke for our efforts......not bad for opening day in early May! Thanks to John, Gerry and Mike for a great day.
If you'd like to get in on the action, give us a call and learn what catching Fluke the "Reel Fun" way is all about.
Tight Lines,
Capt. John
