Reel McCoy II Sunday 6/3 Report

[Reel McCoy]

Had a friend from work out today to try for some fluke. Tried the Knoll but the conditions were not optimal to say the least so I headed down the beach and started to drift by the nude beach.  In a few minutes Kevin had his first fluke in the boat, a 15" short.  After releasing the fish he re-baited and within minutes he hooked into a large fish that had the drag on his light spinner screaming.  He played give and take with the fish for about 15 mins.  Had it on top a few times where we saw it was a large bass.  Unfortunately for us the fish made a run under the boat and broke off.  A few more drifts produced nothing so we moved inside and fished east of Earle where I landed an 18" keeper.  Moved to the Navesink to get out of the wind but we only had one more 15.5" short. I am still rocking as I am typing this report but it still beats being on land.

Great effort. The weather hasn't been all that good for optimal fluking.
